Yay! Woodstock! Smelly hippies and don’t take the brown acid. Wooddstock was a 4-day music festival held on a dairy farm in upstate New York which attracted over 400,000 people. In case you didn’t know, the movie, Woodstock, is about the Woodstock festival.

Carlos Santana, who performed at Woodstock, was trippin so much on stage that he said his guitar felt like a snake – which caused him to play with a style that would prevent the snake from getting out of his hands. In some weird booking decision, the 1950’s retro band, Sha Na Na, went on right before Jimmi Hendrix. The Who’s Pete Townsend ended up punching activist Abbie Hoffman, who tried to interrupt their set when he came on stage and attempted a political rant. Hoffman might’ve been on same drugs as Carlos Santana.

This looks like a bad day for all involved. This soft-bodied, eight-limbed mollusc of the order Octopoda is trying to pull a scuba diver back into its tank. Will someone help him? This isn’t the best way to make friends.

If the scuba diver tries to fight back, there’s a good chance the octopus will spray him with ink, which they expel when they feel threatened. All octopuses are venomous, and only the blue-ringed octopuses are known to be deadly to humans. The octopus in this photo doesn’t look blue – so that’s one less thing to worry about.

More fun facts: An octopus has the agile ability to jet through water while several octopus are referred to as “octopi.”

Vivien Leigh napping on the set of “Gone With the Wind” in 1939.

Yes, even stars of iconic, classic movies need a little rest. Thus the case in 1939 when Vivien Leigh took a nap on the set of Gone with the Wind. This was the first film in color to win an Academy Award. Though things were sometimes rocky on set.

Leigh hated kissing Clark Gable because she said he had bad breath. It didn’t help matters that Gable would sometimes eat garlic before his kissing scenes with her.

She was a performer in a traveling circus and worked in sideshows. She got her tattoo start after she met her husband who was a sailor who traveled the world and said he learned to tattoo from the tribesmen in Janva and Borneo.

Maud loved his tattoos and received tattoo lessons in exchange for a date. The two fell in love and were later married – which meant more tattoos and more tattoo lessons. Maud and her husband specialized in hand-poked tattoos, despite the widespread of tattoo machines.

Burt and Loni are happy. for the moment

Burt Reynolds married Loni Anderson in April 1988. The had a quiet 20-minute ceremony on Burt’s Florida ranch – that was also attended by five paparazzi helicopters circling over the ceremony -while throngs of reporters positioned themselves outside the gates.

Their marriage ended five years later but it took another 22 years to completely sever financial ties. That sounds a little bitter and like an ugly split.

Reynolds later said the marriage “was a really dumb move on my part.” Adding: “I should have known that you don’t marry an actress. It wasn’t lollipops and roses.”

Masks worn by doctors during the Plague

Any historical tidbit about The Plague always gets me giddy. During his era, doctors would wear bird beak masks to protect them from being infected by, well, the plague. They believed the disease was airborne and was spread by miasma, which is a noxious form of “bad air.”
