useless facts you probably never needed/wanted to know

Gackt's body fat percentage is 8%, but only 6% when he's on tour.

Mana rarely ever speaks because he hates the sound of his own voice.

David Bowie was born on Elvis Presley's birthday (January 8) exactly 12 years after the king.

When properly translated from Sindarin, Legolas is actually closer to 'keen leaf' then 'green leaf.'

'Rumil' is Sindarin for 'loud love.'

Paul McCartney's real name is James McCartney.

David Bowie's real name is David Robert Jones.

David Bowie sang 'The Prettiest Star' when he proposed to his first wife, Angie.



Ok, I can't think of any more right now.

That was fun. ^_^ I didn't know the reason behind Mana not speaking. I thought it just stemmed from his shyness. All of the others were new to me too except for the last one. I really love that song.

Yeah. I read that on a webpage which is known to be pretty reliable for information like that. I thought it was really cute and sweet. Apparantly, when he does talk, he has a really low voice. Also, judging from interviews I've read, he has a great sense of humor. ^_^

...I want a Mana.

Agreed. It is very sweet and cute. I have an mp3 file that claims to be a sound clip of Mana's voice. If you're interested, I can look for it.

*sigh* Don't we all? ^_^

O.O MANASOUNDCLIP?? *simply dies* I would kill to hear Mana's voice. Ok, so the obsession is getting a little on the scary side now....

Yes. Me especially, though. ^_-

But I did need to know! Now I must find me a Bowie-boy to sing me pretty songs like that. x)

[identity profile] lirimaer.livejournal.com 2003-06-08 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I would also like a Bowie-boy. Heck, I'll take a girl. As long as they are sweet and romantic like that. And look like Mana. Mmmmm Mana.
