Something like seventeen years ago, I discovered this as well and gratefully enjoyed my cookie. Not ten minutes later, I was spewing fluid from every orifice I have. I developed hives, too. Also, I didn't realize until someone told me, but apparently I had an extreme pallor.
I've never had an allergic reaction to a cookie before, nor an allergic reaction that severe to any food item. I hadn't consumed anything else suspect that day. It was bad enough that, once I had a sufficient break in my extensive leakage, I went to the hotel lobby where the hotel manager happened to be; he took one look at me and immediately went to call an ambulance without even asking me.
Once I was in the ambulance, even the paramedics commented on the volume and violence of my still ongoing reaction.
I was hospitalized overnight and it went away on its own over several hours. I was at a hotel for a week of on-site training for a new job and somehow the employer heard about it - I got major credit for showing up to the first day of training the next morning despite the circumstances.
Nothing else went wrong health wise during that trip but I haven't stayed at that chain since.
Supposedly, on any of the many occasions when archaeologists have found what is clearly an antique dildo, tradition advised labeling them something like "ceremonial relic."
My first house was in a town where the hall of records burned down in 1920. Which means that no one still around knows when anything older was actually built, butofficially everything older was built in 1920.
I remember only because at the time they were advertising that the green power ranger would be getting a power upgrade and I said to my older brother that I bet he would become the white power ranger (not being aware of the connotations at the time, nor anything else other than the kid's show).
He said that wasn't possible. How would they display the trademark white diamonds, he asked? It still boggles my mind that that was his only reasoning.
Does Agent Venom count? I've only read a little about the character, but enjoyed what I saw.
In - I think - the first issue, he ends up carrying an armed grenade in his mouth for most of it; I remember there being some pretty funny quips about it.
There are many stories about Daniel Radcliffe being confused for Elijah Wood and vice versa; this one is pretty good:
Radcliffe also shared a funny story about an occasion where he was mistaken for Wood, but because of a language barrier, he signed an autograph anyway--with the words, "I am not Elijah Wood."
"I was once on a red carpet in Japan and a photo of you [Wood] was thrust at me. My first instinct was to say, 'Oh, I'm not ... So I can't ...' but I thought the language barrier would be too much," Radcliffe said. "So the quickest way to deal with it was just to write, 'I am not Elijah Wood, [signed] Daniel Radcliffe,' and then hope somebody translated that for him later."
