The Mandela Effect strikes again

[Inglorious Bitch]

Isn't this the same phenomenon of wrong lyrics? Could that be the same be with Spike on Gremlins? We just heard it wrong from day one.

I never saw the movie, so I can't weigh in, but on the Madela site, there are many who remember the Spike character and someone even said her brother named his dog Spike after the gremlin. As far as the wrong lyric phenomenon, this is also mentioned at the Mandela site, but so many people get lyrics wrong that it really does not prove anything.

Well, those are clearly two different men.

I recently heard him described as having "the face of a cheerful owl tattooed on a scrotum."

That's all very interesting. I was blown away by the Berenstein Bears thing.

So you also remember them as Berenstein?

I read something about a multiverse. It could maybe explain some of these things. Sadly I lack the ability to expand on the theory.

I definitely do and I even read the books to my nieces and nephews. Crazy huh?

But, when the announcement came two years ago, that it was always spelled differently, I summed it up as memory failure. I can think of many situations of that. Remembering a wall from childhood as green, but it was light blue.

The Nelson Mandela thing is fascinating.  That's something I would love to read more about and hear more cases like this.

I simply do not find it plausible that this has been going on for years without my noticing until this week.

This isn't the usual kind of thing that I go searching for--my tastes tend to run on a different level, shall we say. Nevertheless, I simply do not find it to be plausible that I have not found this particular category of media before--there was a time when I searched for "Freemasons" on the YouTube, every day, every hour, all the time.

Look, look, read, read--I had a lot of free time on my hands at some points, okay? Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

I recall the Henry VIII with the turkey leg......I was thinking it first appeared in a National Lampoon magazine......mid 70's maybe.

I have it stuck in my head that there was a space shuttle Intrepid. I know there wasn't, yet there it is.

[Dyna-X]

I have it stuck in my head that there was a space shuttle Intrepid. I know there wasn't, yet there it is.

The confusion is a result, I think, of there being a Space Shuttle Inspiration and a Space Shuttle Explorer that were full size mock-ups that were never intended for flight.

To muddy the waters further, the Kerbal Space Program (Simulator Program) has a Space Shuttle Intrepid and the Space Shuttle Enterprise is kept at the Intrepid Air and Space Museum.

However, I am pleased that this is a mere Mandela Effect issue and it has not become a conspiracy theory that NASA was flying Space Shuttles not on any roster to fly around aliens and gold ingots (as Phil Schneider once claimed about the five Shuttles that did fly in space.)

This dude was 100% "Irving" in my home dimension. Clown World blows major ass.

People do change the spellings of their names, like the late J. Neal Schulman, who changed it to J. Neil Schulman.  In this case, though, it's just a matter of someone's having an uncommon name similar to a common one.  I kept calling Brice Durbin Bruce to his face because I'd never previously heard or seen the name Brice, and thought I was hearing him wrong.

But that's a stupid YouTube channel, where people are impressed by spelling errors and the fact of some people being late to get the news about things like Gigantopithecus and lingerie football.  They think that because they never saw something on TV, it doesn't exist.  Mandela Effects my ass.

I just made a sandwich using Oscar Mayer Bologna (thick cut).  I distinctly recall as a child that the meat slices were bigger than the bread slices by a significant margin.

Just sayin'



This Irving Johnson thing I too remember.  Reminds me of the old joke from childhood:

"Did you hear there's a new way to catch AIDS?"

"No!  How?"

"By MAGIC!"

Oh how we laughed

The Queen Mother's Death Forced A Big Change To BBC's Wardrobe Policy

Following the death of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother (above), on March 30, 2002, British newspapers were in a frenzy...

I thought the old bag celebrated her two-thousandth birthday this past April 21st?

According to the article above she's been dead for over twenty years?



Is this Mandelbrot Affect just in my corner of my particular universe, or is anyone else noticing this discontinuity as well?

As a proud American you can be forgiven for not understanding the weird royal ways with regard to consorts, queen mothers, and so many names oft-repeated. In fact be suspect of Americans who understand all the weirdo stuff about royal protocols, club ties, or drinks Pimms.
