Whales Don't Spray Water Out of Their Blowholes
Oct 15, 8:30AM
Contrary to what you may have seen in such movies as Pixar's otherwise extremely entertaining Finding Nemo, whales don't spray water out of their blowholes. Further, the whale's trachea doesn't connect to the esophagus of the whale; so when Dory and Marlin went down the whale's throat, in real life, they'd have simply been eaten.

Oct 15, 1:00AM
It was the perfect plan. First zombify a local populace, then force them into a battle to the death against chainsaw-wielding cyborg killers. And it would have worked too, if not for those meddling DJ's, Doctor P and Adam F. And who invited the M-E-T-H-O-D Man? Now everything is ruined!
