Tennis balls are yellow because of David Attenborough. Initially they were white, but he realized that this didn’t give enough contrast on black and white tvs or colour tvs. So he suggested yellow.

This is the Mitsubishi Dialtone D160, the largest subwoofer ever built, with 60 inches in the 1980s. Weighing 800kg, it can easily shatter windows and produces small earthquakes that can be felt like ground vibrations within a 2-kilometer range.
At the Koriyama factory, the test was conducted at first in the measuring room, but was stopped because the ceiling lamps fell due to vibration.
The outdoor test appeared to have a negative impact on the neighborhood. At a distance of about 100 m from the speaker, the sound was felt, but at a greater distance, it was transmitted as vibration and noise on the earth instead of an audible sound.
Within a 2-kilometer radius of the factory, damage such as vibrations, small earthquakes, as well as noises from walls and windows occurred

Richard Simmons had a bit part in Fellini’s “Satyricon” when he was around 20. He never voluntarily disclosed his involvement in it, likely because he’d done it years before he’d slimmed down to the physique he’s known for, though he’d say as much as that he was IN the film, if asked (you see him for about five seconds, playing the lyre).
“When I went to school in Italy, I was sitting at a table. The was a man next to me that asked me to be in his movie. He said he couldn’t pay me…I didn’t care. I worked on the set for two days. I never met so many bizarre people!”

There is actually a large list of artists that Mick Fleetwood did this too. A very odd chap.
