A group of hogs is called a sounder. Went to a CEU class featuring a presentation on wild hogs. Turns out, in Texas, you can actually trap them and sell them (live). It's also legal to transport live wild hogs across county lines. Didn't know that, either.

Everyone is born with two innate fears, falling and loud noises. All other fears are learned.

Jennifer Batton played guitar for Michael Jackson and is by far the best female guitarist. She also played with Jeff Beck.

If someone gives you 5 bucks to run them to the store, you are a professional chauffer.

You left out free-lance Psychiatrist. Youtuber, GILF dating machine, and nut grabber. Some people are just born with it.

Eddie Van Halen played the solo, and revised it to its original version after it was altered by Michaels Producer.

Luke played rhythm on that song. Check out Rick Beato's interview with Lukather how that entire song came together. It's very interesting.
