Anyone who wishes to add anything else to this thread may... in fact I'll add a few more to get the ball rolling.
There is only one Pearl Jam song to contain a subliminal message. Backwards the song says "Pete Townshend you saved my life" over and over, while forwards it says "P-R-I-V-A-C-Y it's priceless to me" Pete Townshend appeared on a talk-show with the lead singer. What are the odds of that irony working? (The song is called "Pry, To" on the Vitalogy album)

Hyundai tends to pose other car companies, notice how the Accent looks like a Honda while a Sonata like a Lexus. Look like a good car and put crappy parts in it (my cousin came down each weekend with a new part broken after 5 I believe years, head gasket, etc.)

Sony, one of the big 5 members of the RIAA -- also the largest (and I believe first) producer of MP3 players. On one ad it said "Take your downloads and go". Sure there are legal downloads (just BARELY implemented by that ad's printing), but we all know what they were eluding to... bad bad right-winger.

You don't need a surround sound computer speaker set to enjoy surround sound. For 16 bucks (assuming you have plenty of phono cable laying around) You can rig two amplifiers you may have laying around the house together and have one control the back speakers, and one the front speakers assuming you have NVidia soundstorm or some other 2x1/8" stereo suround sound card. I already had some parts laying aorund so it only costed my 8$... total wattage, 340W -- 4 channels. 80Wx2 for front, 90Wx2 for back.
Pays to be a cheap-(censorred) sometimes.

For recycling, the key to the can is the most lucrative part. Learned that --years-- ago where instead of doing a can-drive, they were doing a can-key drive to buy a wheelchair for a student at my (then) elementary school. Moral of this story -- do a can key drive and then put the rest of the can in the crusher machine -- double your money (KIDDING!!!)

There are two DVD writable formats, + and -... most players I've seen run on minus disks, I didn't know that when I first got into amature filming, went to the Futureshop and got swamped with new information. Geeze, first 4 and 6 pin firewire, now + and - DVDs, they don't like camcorder users it seems.
All for now, add your own. Mine are getting weak --
