    Janis Joplin once replied to a reviewer calling Big Brother "the ugliest band he had ever seen" with "Even Sam??"

    An interviewer asked Dolly Parton if it bothered her that people thought she was a dumb blonde. She said, "It doesn't bother me. I know I'm not dumb. I also know I'm not blonde!"

    The band Blondie broke up when the lead singer and guitarist, who were an item, left because the guitarist developed a life-threatening condition. She sat at his bedside until he recovered. And they say punk has no heart...

    You can fold a sheet of paper more than 7 times, as long as you have a big enough paper and enough power to lift it. It gets really really heavy.

    Also, most "facts" in the OP are completely idiotic.
