Dealing with truly important shit today. Like - did you know Gilligan had a first name?

For six decades, trivia fans and TV junkies have debated one of the most-questioned pieces of insignifica behind "Gilligan's Island": What, exactly, was Gilligan's first name? The bumbling first mate of the S.S. Minnow (played by Bob Denver) was always addressed simply as "Gilligan," leaving viewers to question if it was his surname or if he was just a one-name wonder like Spock.

According to a deep-dive investigation by Snopes, the red-shirted klutz did, at one point, have a first name: "Willy Gilligan." But despite popular belief, it was never once uttered in the show, the scripts, or the original unaired 1963 "Gilligan's Island" pilot. The whole debate behind Gilligan's first name actually stems from a bit of information unearthed by TV Guide.

In 1993, TV Guide revealed that it got its hands on an old press release that said Gilligan's first name was initially going to be "Willy." At the time, TBS's 1992 broadcast of the lost "Gilligan's Island" pilot was still fresh in the minds of the public. In that pilot, there's a particular scene in which a radio news broadcast reports on the missing castaways by full name - except for Gilligan.

This shit's crazy. You can go online and create whatever you want to bet on, and then somebody else will see it and decide if they want to take the bet or not. I read somewhere that as much as twenty million dollars was bet on whether or not that kid who stabbed the other would be acquitted or found guilty. What kinda sick fuck bets on shit like that?

The Donald needs to stop saying shit before the fact, giving the other guys a chance to deny what he's saying. He went on TV last night saying the Iran thing was a done deal, and then the guys on the other side said 'Well, fuck me. We ain't signed shit yet'. Just go ahead and bomb these motherfuckers back to the stone ages and be done with them. Everything they say is a fuckin' lie, and we all know it.
