This is a question Useless Information

Did you know that crabs wee through their eyes? That maidenhair moss is so called because Anglo-saxons thought it looked like pubes? That Albanians have 17 different words for moustache? Astound us with your utterly useless and obscure knowledge.

Cinema
The certificate given to a film (15,18 etc) is a guide. A cinema need only enforce it if it wants to. There's no law involved. If they want to show 18's to 3 year olds, they can.

If you see a 'boom shot' in a film at the cinema, (ie the overheard mic dropping into shot briefly) its usually the cinema's fault, not the filmmakers. The distributed versions of most films are taller than the viewed portion. The top will often include the microphone and the edge of the sets etc. The cinema crops the image during playback.

And just to piss on a few chips:

Dogs CAN look up - try it with yours (hold some meat up dumbass)

Ducks quacks DO echo. (harder to find out I'll admit)
