Not sure if this will catch on but I thought it would be fun to start a thread about random facts. The key word being randon

YouTube had been founded by three former PayPal employees. Chad Hurley, Jawed Karim and Steve Chen in late 2005. Google purchased YouTube in late 2006 for 1.6 billion dollars. A side note, Steve Chen had left his job at the start up Facebook after less than a month to begin YouTube

Q-Tips:

The product was originally called Baby Gays and in 1926, the labels were changed to read Q-tips Baby Gays. Later the name Baby Gays was discarded and Q-tips® became the identifying mark for cotton swabs. The Q in Q-tips stands for quality and the word tips describes the cotton swab at the end of the stick.

"What's the most money ever paid to a male porn star. If you didn't broker the deal, what's the most you ever got for a male porn star.

The single biggest guarantee (paid at one time for a single movie) was $50,000 ... paid by VCA (when Russ Hampshire owned it) to JEFF STRYKER for "Jeff Stryker's Underground."

However, the most that a male porn star made from one movie ... paid over a period of time (royalties) ... was approx. $75,000, which KEN RYKER made for "Ryker's Revenge." He had a $20,000 guarantee and got $5 per unit sold. So, in theory, they paid him, upfront, for 4000 units. It sold approx. 15,000 pieces ... hence, he made $75,000.

Ken made about $40,000 from "Mass Appeal" on 8000 units @ $5 each.

RYAN IDOL got $20,000 for "Idol Country" and $25,000 for "Idol in the Sky." RYAN was all contracted for "Idol Cruise" (Odyssey Men/Cbi Chi) in the summer of 2002 ... where HIS guarantee was $20,000 (like Ryker's) ... but I got him $9000 additional for various extra things. $29,000 total. He also was to get $5 per movie (upfront him for 4000 sales at $5 ... plus $9000 additional) ... and, if it sold 15,000, he'd have made $75K + the 9K. But, he questioned the signature on the contract and aborted the whole deal. Very foolish and without reason. The man who signed the contract had signed the contract for "Idol in the Sky" ... in 1996."

Twinklover adds: I don't think male porn stars make anything near this amount of money now.

Awesome random info! Really telling of what a few on the top out of thousands of models made back then.

This gets me wondering who is the highest paid professional escort? But I doubt there would be anyway to validate a claim of X being the highest paid.

My first escort experience was an hour with Rick Donovan in the early eighties. As we were putting our clothes back on, he mentioned he was checking out investments in the Cayman Islands. I shouldn't wonder!

I loved Rick Donovan. That big huge dick! That scene of him with Matt Ramsay--teacher and student, with Matt Ramsay shooting an incredible load after being fucked by our boy--an unforgettable scene. Call me old-fashioned but I wish today's youth would grow the hair on their heads a little more and stop getting so inked up with tats and loaded up with piercings. Rick Donovan defines the kind of natural 70s or 80s boy that is so hard to be found today.

Wow as soon as I saw his photo this is the scene I recalled then I read your post. Interesting I probably would have a hard name recalling a scene from recent porn but can remember many from those days. Sweet memories too

Absolutely fascinating. I had no idea of those numbers. Knowing lots of porn guys, I have never met anyone that came close to those numbers.

Every US state capitol city has at least one McDonalds except Montpelier, Vermont

In Salen, Sweden McDonalds created the worlds first "ski through" restaurant

Oh, we're still around. Just with a little more waist and a little less hair. Except in our ears. And all those wrinkles. SIGH!

The last survivor of the Titanic died the day before that plane went down in the Atlantic off of Brazil. That's always freaked me out.
