Reply to TIL the public library in Aarhus, Denmark has a 25-ft 3-ton bronze bell named 'The Gong' that rings every time a baby is born in the city. It is connected to the maternity ward in the local hospital, where mothers can press a button after giving birth to ring The Gong by ergotpoisoning
That's why the sign when you enter town says "Welcome to Aarhus; get it on, bang the Gong, get it on."

Reply to TIL that Tony Danza and Tupac Shakur were friends and that they wrote letters back and forth while Tupac was in prison. by Knoblord_McCheese
Tupac by all accounts was an incredibly smart man with a diversity of interests and talents. All of Tony Danza's characters were named "Tony" because he wouldn't respond to other names in scenes. What did they possibly talk about??????????
