Originally intended just as a good way to keep bookmarks online (in the days before del.icio.us) but has evolved into collections of things that intrigue me.....or are just plain daft.

Mostly the latter.

I'd very much like this story to be true:

When Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, he not only gave his famous "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" statement. before he re-entered the lander, he made the enigmatic remark "Good Luck, Mr. Gorsky."

Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival Soviet cosmonaut; however, upon checking, there was no Gorsky in either the Russian nor American space programs.

When he was a kid, Neil was playing baseball with his brother in the backyard. His brother hit a fly ball which landed in front of his neighbors' bedroom window. The neighbors were Mr and Mrs Gorsky. as he leaned down to pick up the ball, he heard Mrs Gorsky shouting at Mr Gorsky, "Oral sex? Oral sex you want? You'll get oral sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!"

Sadly I've checked it out on Urban Legends - and it's a myth
