Bob Holness was the first ever James Bond. He played the part in a South African radio play of Moonraker in 1956 If it was 1956, then that makes him the second to play Bond. Barry Nelson played Bond in "Casino Royale," an episode of Climax! in 1954 for live US television. Fact - You cannot fold any piece of paper exactly in half more than 8 times.

Eh, I have some trivia, but most if it isn't pop culture enough. But one is ...
Christopher Walken was Geroge Lucas' second choice as Han Solo. How would Star Wars had turned out if that happened, I ask you? He also was rumored to be considered for the part of Captain Jack Sparrow.

The first NBA Rookie of the Year was Don Meineke of the Fort Wayne Pistons.
The Pistons used to be called the Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons.

Miss Lippy's car is green. I was in a production of "Oliver" with the guy who said that line (the janitor). Chris Kelk I believe his name is...something like that.

In high school, Vanna White appeared in a school production of "Brgadoon". I have no idea why I know this. One of my favorite Paul Reiser bits. Comes from the thought that when you save a friend's phone number into your speed dial, the number disappears from your brain. The next bit of knowledge that comes into your head (no matter how dumb the circumstance) takes its place, and stays there forever. You'll be standing in line at the store, flipping through the Enquirer while waiting to check out.Then you're at a party that night, talking with your friends. You whip out this gem: "By the way, when she was in high school, Vanna White was the lead in Brigadoon." What? Vanna Wh...where the hell did that come from? That must have been my sister's home number, sonuvabitch! Also, by the way: the NBA was the merged consolidation of the BAA (Basketball Association of America) and the NBL (National Basketball League). The BAA was made up of owners who had hockey franchises or resided in big cities who also wanted to bring basketball into their buildings for extra money. The NBL was made up of decent teams, until Rochester, Minneapolis and Ft Wayne jumped to the BAA. The NBL won the war by acquiring a future team called the Indianapolis Olympians: a squad made up of the 1948 Olympic gold medal winning basketball team (and also defending NCAA national champion) University of Kentucky. NBA: Chicago was given three separate franchises into the NBA. The Stags (an old-line BAA team that folded after the first season in 1949-50), the Packers/Zephyrs (1961-63, moved to Baltimore to become the Bullets) and the current franchise, the Bulls. Also, until Reggie Miller's #31 was retired by the Indiana Pacers, all the previous numbers retired by that team had its roots in the ABA. (George McGinnis' #30, Mel Daniels' #34 & Roger Brown's #35.)

Abe Lincoln was born in a log cabin. John F. Kennedy once spilled Log Cabin syrup in his dad's Lincoln. I was wondering when somebody would say this.

Former American Gladiator Gemini, Jenny Jones, and then-Houston Oiler Steve Bryant were all contestants on Press Your Luck.
While on the show, Jim Hess swore under his breath after hitting a Whammy, then unleashed even more salty language later. This episode has never been censored.
Super Bowl III is the first Super Bowl to survive, in its entirety, on tape.

Okay, my turn (since I commented on the Lincoln/Kennedy thing)
Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy, Kennedy had a secretary named Lincoln Lincoln was elected in 1860, Kennedy was elected in 1960 Booth shot Lincoln from a theatre and ran into a warehouse. Oswald shot Kennedy from a warehouse and ran into a theatre. Lincoln and Kennedy were both killed on front of their wives. John Wilkes Booth. Lee Harvey Oswald. Both are known by their full, 3 word name. Also, both with the same amount of letters (15)
Now, away from the presidential things:
Indiana has played host to the debut of 2 matches in the WWE (Buried Alive and Punjabi Prison) Indiana had the very first match between Steve Austin and Hunter Hearst Helmsley in the WWF (Buried Alive 1996). Eddie Guerrero's last match was in Indiana (vs Mr Kennedy) Rey Mysterio made his WWE Debut in Indiana. When Kane set JR on fire...yup, Indiana. Ric Flair's only WWF (or even WWE) Title match at WrestleMania? Indiana. Sid snapping his leg in half? You guessed it. Indiana. Return of the Highlight Reel (Post Jeri-code)? Yaaaaay Indiana.
I've got more, I'm just tired.
