For me, since I don't eat out often, I tip at least 20% - No, and hopefully I won't have to anytime soon. - Not very superstitious, I'm usually willing to believe things happen simply because of coincidences. - A million dollars, at least, though that's mainly because it would get cold, wet, and uncomfortable out there at night. - No, hunting trophies are too rustic as decorations for me to enjoy. - Yes, a dog and a cat. - I enjoy the occasional cookie or slice of cake, but tend to not like sweet foods, especially those with a lot of frosting or intense, sugary flavors. - No, like I said, I tend to assume it's just coincidence. - No, but my hearing seems fine. - I don't travel a lot, but I do want to visit someplace nice with lots of beaches in the summer of 2024. - Usually, I'm the tallest person around, at 6'4", but my brother is an inch taller than me. - I very much enjoy walking, it helps clear my head. - It seems like real-estate agents can make a lot of money through their work, but I don't know if that makes them "stars" or celebrities. - I could certainly afford to be more careful, but considering nothing bad has happened to me yet and I haven't had any of my personal information stolen, I figure I'm doing alright. - Occasionally, but I know enough about computers to be able to find the root problems, in most circumstances. - I have on two occasions, and I found the decorations to be very fascinating and the food delicious. - Yes, on several occasions. They can have some really cool stuff there for good prices! - Only when on long road trips, usually just to use the bathroom or grab a snack. - No, and I'm probably not cut out to be a waiter. Too high-stress. - Theme restaurants do seem to be pretty popular, but I don't visit them much, since the atmosphere can be a bit overwhelming. - I've thought about it, but I've never let the intrusive thoughts win.

Loved this show as a kid, and still watch it today. It's called Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction for those wondering. Though now I'm a huge Trekkie, this was actually my introduction to Frakes.

[@kevboard]

did you know there are new episodes? the show has a cult following in germany. and the german TV station RTL2 produced multiple new episodes (the first 2 were actually filmed with german actors and were awful, they switched back to an American cast after that), which are currently broadcast every Halloween. but it seems like they want to go back into full production, as 8 new episodes have been filmed, featuring among others Danny Trejo it seems! Frakes, of course, is also back as the presenter. Not sure if these new episodes are also broadcast outside of german speaking countries. but it would be a waste if they weren't, given that they are filmed in english. it's called X-Factor in germany btw... which became very confusing after the music show of the same name was licended for germany lol

[@TeeklGrey]

Funny that Shatner has a show like this too, albeit much later in life

[@Adamguy2003]

I loved this show as a kid, too! For a couple of the "True story" episodes/ tales, I've heard the actual true stories they were based on (i.e. The one during the "Hosted by James Brolin" period in which a guy is killed by a bullet which had been fired at him years earlier and hit a tree)!
