Three of the following are FACTS…one is a FIB (scroll down to find out which one!)
1. Crocodiles are more closely-related to birds than to lizards, snakes, or turtles.
2. In 1858, London battled something called “The Great Stink” . . . when human waste overflowed their medieval wooden sewers, and created three massive outbreaks of contagious disease.
3. Raleigh became the capital of North Carolina because the state legislators really liked a bar in the area . . . Isaac Hunter’s Tavern.
4. Jack Nicholson’s contract for “Batman” paid him a percentage of any sequels, but only if they hit a certain threshold in the box office. Those 3 sequels missed the mark by a combined $1837.
AND THE FIB IS…(scroll down)
#4!
Jack Nicholson’s contract for “Batman” gave him a percentage of the sequels. So even though he wasn’t in “Batman Returns”, “Batman Forever”, or “Batman and Robin”, he made over $100 million from them.
