As of yet, there is no official dark-type gym.

Technically speaking, Tate is a male Gym Leader, though because they are twins one could argue that they are a joint Gym Leader.

BonzaiRob, I know you are a staff and all, but that was slightly offensive. I am an American. Someone could mistake you for basically saying, "It would be great if there was no land of the free or home of the brave!" Although you didn't mean it the way people could interpret it, many people needed new oppurtunity in America, due to only one allowed religion in the past. Now, I am not being racist, because I've been to Great Britain and it's a great place to live in! It's just that some people might've taken what you said in a racist way...Btw, I've never seen stonehenge...

To think we could have nice British accents if we didn't dump that freakin' tea in the harbor.

Anyways...

The Americas were found first by Amerigo Vespucci, for whom the two continents were named. Christopher Columbus just found the Carribean.

Szomorú vasárnap, better known as Gloomy Sunday, has earned the rather unflattering nickname "the Hungarian suicide song" because of its depressing lyrics. According to urban legend, it inspired the death of many people, including the composer's fiancée.

Rofl. It was a joke! I don't think anyone could take it seriously. Besides, your land isn't that free any more, if you want a real land of the free you should try the Netherlands. And I've never seen stonehenge either :P

It's all in the past now, why stress about it? There's a lot of politic we could go into, but why bother on a pokémon board.

God Gelatop, take a chill pill. And the whole religion thing you mentioned is slightly superfluous because America, like most English-speaking countries is heavily biased towards Christians.

Anyway back to Trivia:

Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park has an impressive array of musical talents. In addition to his vocals, he can play guitar (acoustic and electric), bass (ditto), banjo (ditto), piano, keyboard, xylophone and miramba.

Marilyn Manson's name comes from Marilyn Monroe and Charlie Manson.

Jonathan Davis of KoRn was sexually abused as a child.

The infamous internet podcast Pain Olympics includes such gore as shoving a knitting needle up one's rectum, shredding tha +#@# with hedgetrimming claws and forcible removal of the shaft of a penis using a blunt tomahawk.

Guys trying to get a cheap thrill.

Anyways, that disturbing bit of info aside...

The final boss of EarthBound, Giygas, has unusually eerie dialog. This dialog was based on a scene from a movie that creator Shigesato Itoi accidentally saw. That scene was a rape scene from a Japanese pornography, and this must have scarred him for life.

OK, then. That is just plain creepy.

Joan of Arc wasn't made a saint until 500 years after she died.
Cave people used to worship bears by dancing around them while stabbing them with their spears. When the bear was dead, they would decapitate it, put the head on a clay sculpture, and eat the rest.
Members of the Churdh of the Flying Spaghetti Monster are called Pastafarians.
Writer Maxwell Adams, best known for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, actually hated writing.

I tame the burninators.

Here's how the Slakoth line really goes through evolution:

Slakoth drinks a Red Bull, causing it to get hyper and evolve into Vigoroth.
The caffeine rush ends, causing Vigoroth to evolve into Slaking.

Berserkers were named for the bear fur they wore, called bear sarks.

Bear + sark = Bearsark = Berserk

Hoo-hah.

Iowa comes from the Sioux word "one who puts to sleep".

Even the Netherlands is less a land of the free in the current age of the fear of islamic fundamentalism though... Luckily most things we are known to be 'free' about are still intact. Huzzah for free-ness :P
