How A Fertilizer Salesman Created One Of The Worst Movies of All Time... And How It Found An Audience
Harold P. Warren had no experience making films. He was a salesman of fertilizer and insurance, and he’d never so much as created an outline for a film script before. He’d written some books and plays, but he’d never attempted to shoot a feature film. His friend, Stirling Silliphant, however, had actual script-writing experience. He has writing or co-writing credits on dozens of films, including The Poseidon Adventure, The Towering Inferno, and In The Heat of the Night. In fact, In The Heat of the Night won him the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. He also worked on various TV programs, including the hit show Route 66, where he met Warren as he was scouting locations for an episode.

Oh, You Didn't Know
We've all been treated to some of the biggest names in entertainment history in the form of television series we fell absolutely in love with. One of those series, for myself at least, was The Big Bang Theory. My second biggest television addiction, until it ended after its tenth season, was, of course, Friends. Let's face the facts, the networks found a formula that works. There's no denying that the twenties to mid-thirties formula of five to six young and attractive people who are tight and have chemistry with one another works. It's been working now since the middle of the 1990s.

What is Cheugy?
There's a new word on the block, and it's time we all learned it...because this one's kind of fun. Cheugy. See? It even sounds cute...which, given its meaning, is surprisingly self-aware. The word cheugy is in on its own joke. Unlike its cousins "basic", and "Karen", it conveys as much affection as it does judgement.

MYTHICAL SERPENTS(DRAGON) THROUGH HISTORY
The Dragon has had a significant impact in legends and religions since pre-noteworthy occasions. The historical backdrop of mythical beasts returns in any event 6,000 years, and there are winged serpent stories and legends from each landmass with the exception of Antarctica. In pretty much every culture, and all from the beginning of time, there are accounts of these legendary and mysterious animals called winged serpents. Various individuals have different hypotheses of why such countless societies grew a durable faith in mythical serpents; be that as it may, none can really be demonstrated.
