BDaht’s 3 Useless Facts That You Probaly Didn’t Know

Author Randi Moultrie

I bet there are a few facts that you didn’t know you needed to know. Well, that’s why there is BDaht’s “3 Useless Facts. Today, October 30, he gave us three different facts that might cause you to say, “Huh, didn’t know that.”

  1. Scotland Has Over 400 Words to Refer to Snow
    • Bet you didn’t know this one. You read that right, Scotland has over 400 words to refer to snow. One of its three official languages has a great extent of expressive phrases for snow. To be exact, they have 421 words for snow as of now. The words are a range from snaw and flindrinkin to skelf and sneesl.
  2. SEARS Once Sold Houses
    • Did you know there was once a time when you could purchase a house through SEARS? Yes, that’s right! The retail chain where you could purchase camping equipment, clothes, and snacks once allowed you to purchase a home. They were kit houses that you would have to be able to assemble yourself. Apparently, the original instruction manual contained 75 pages worth of steps. This was during a time before every state had a Walmart.
  3. What Animal Has the Largest Paid of Eyes?
    • Lion? Elephant? I’m sure those were a few of some of your first guesses, but they’re all wrong. The giant squid actually is the animal with the largest pair of eyes. Its eyes are the size of soccer balls and at least 25 centimeters across. The largest fish eye is only around 9 centimers wife which belongs to the swordfish.

Were these facts things you already knew? Probably not, but we’re glad we got to share today! Stay tuned for the next time BDaht drops by the studio and shares some useless facts with us.

5 Celebrities That Would Be Great Guests At A Dinner Party

If you were hosting a dinner party for celebrities, who would you invite? Would you pick your 5 favorites? Or would you have a strategy with it?

Thanks to The Office, dinner parties have gotten a bad rep. However, they don’t always end in absolute disaster! It’s all about picking the right guests who can all get along and share something in common. Just like making a cocktail, there’s a recipe for the perfect dinner party. Add a little bit too much of a certain ingredient and you can ruin the drink. Likewise, if you don’t put enough of the right stuff into the cocktail, you’re not going to get any feeling out of it or any rush. I think these 5 celebrities would be great guests at a dinner party.

5 Celebrities That Would Be Great Guests At A Dinner Party

Start thinking about the celebrity guests you’d invite if you were hosting a dinner party. Maybe some of them will end up making the list! First, let’s mull the characteristics that go into a good dinner party guest.

For starters, you want somebody who’s entertaining. While your favorite tortured poet might sound like a good idea, you might be a tad disappointed by their energy bringing the mood down on the dinner. Remember, you have to consider the other guests as well! Who are they going to get along with or be interested in? Someone like Ben Stein might not be the guy! Wow, that’s a dated reference but he’s just the most boring person I could think of off the top of my head.

Next, you want a bit of excitement! You want to have some characters at the dinner party who might surprise you and keep everyone on their toes. An important part of having a dinner party is securing the second party and having people want to come back over! So, you need to get them talking and leaving with a positive reflection on the night. Consider adding someone with a little spice to keep things interesting–without going overboard with it.

Next, you want good people at your dinner party. If someone has a reputation for being unkind, maybe they aren’t the best guest. So, make sure to do your homework ahead of time to ensure that you’re not inviting someone over who others will see on the invite list and instantly send their regrets for not being able to make it. Personally, I’m thinking these five celebrity dinner guests would make for great entertainment. What do you think?

  • Snoop Dogg

    https://youtu.be/mAgbSaF_UoM?si=wlgJWYClG4HMJU26 Umm…did you watch the 2024 Paris Olympics? Snoop Dogg was the star of the show! Anything he does is hilarious. He would be the best celebrity dinner guest. As we saw during the Olympic Games, it’s clear he has no problem talking publicly about stuff he doesn’t know much about, and that’s needed at a dinner party! He’s probably picked up some tips and tricks from his friend Martha Stewart that he can bring to the party, too. Snoop is always invited.

  • Guy Fieri

    https://youtu.be/X_TG05l6hBA?si=aiZkCvF4oJgXGRBN I think Guy Fieri seems like a good dude. He seemingly gets along with everyone from the line cook on an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives to the biggest of celebrity guests. So, no matter who’s at the dinner party Guy will be able to entertain and have fun. He won’t make anyone feel unwanted. Additionally, I feel like you need someone familiar with food at your dinner party. He can be in charge of the food. You can’t forget about the importance of food at your dinner party. Also, I hear he’s a tequila guy. He’s getting invited.

  • Larry David

    https://youtu.be/MfZEDMsOrCk?si=OwWEt3POl55pcdHR I believe Larry David could be one of the funniest people walking earth today. Also, I feel like we’d get along. From what I’ve seen from him, we have a shared perspective on life and being around other people. So, I think he’d be a great guest to have at any dinner party. That way, I’m not the only one who doesn’t want to be there! Larry would help me feel comfortable, and who knows what he might say? The guy is a Social Assassin, after all. It might go horribly wrong and blow up in my face, but I’d love to invite him to the dinner party. Even if it goes bad, it will still be entertaining. I just hope he accepts the invitation.

  • Seth Rogen

    https://youtu.be/NQLbcf5by2o?si=p5M3As96HONb7rdF Seth Rogen seems like such a relatable guy. Not only would I love to hang out with him, but I feel like he’d love to hang out with me. He’s funny, has great stories, and seems like a chill guy. I think he’d vibe with the other guests at the party. I’ve seen him do stuff with Snoop before so we know they’d hit it off. Seth and Larry would probably be a funny team together. How could I not invite Seth to the party?

  • Ana de Armas

    https://youtu.be/W5-9mVvPcGs?si=jGteDB_vDUQXFPKL I didn’t want this dinner party to be like a guys night out type of thing, so Ana de Armas is getting the invite, as well. She’s stunningly beautiful, but during interviews she also seems like a genuine person who’s also probably unexpectedly hilarious. I’d love to chat with her and pick her brain. She could teach me some Spanish and maybe bring some Spanish food to the party? That would be appreciate to have some small plates, mojitos, or tapas. Plus, if nobody else accepts the invite and she shows up…that’s a date, right?
