What?

What do you expect when you come at me with useless trivia?

It's on like Donkey Kong!

Also, speaking of DK, the music that plays during the first stage in Donkey Kong Country, in the level called "Jungle Hijinx", is actually three demo tracks pieced together.

Maybe it's called a footlet cuz it LETS the FOOT do something for which I do not know?

You know, the definition of footlet is: 'a low sock for women covering either the whole foot below the ankle or only the toes, worn for protection or warmth'. So, that means all socks that rest beneath the ankle are footlets.

Hmmm....

I love useless trivia. Although I don't believe any trivia is useless. Knowledge is power. Someday knowing what they call the plastic things on the end of shoelaces could save your life or the life of someone you love. And that information regarding the music in Donkey Kong Country...priceless.

How many socks rest beneath the ankle? And look at this:


It might be wearing a sign but in what world is that a sock?
