Sharing a room during their time in Germany, Harrison, McCartney, John Lennon, and former drummer Pete Best were all in bunk beds.

The atmosphere took a playful turn as they called out names of female sex symbols. "We were just, 'Brigitte Bardot!' 'Whoo!' And then everyone would thrash a bit more," he recalled.

The object was flying at a slow pace, about 30 miles per hour, and intriguingly below most rooftops.

We were the only ones by the freeway when we noticed a light on the horizon moving at incredible speed, not in a straight line," he described. Excited by the sight, he urged his friend, "Honk and flash the lights." They began honking, eager to engage with the mysterious phenomenon.

They are what you think they are," he lamented. The fear they experienced was primal and overwhelming. "I have never been that scared in my life," he admitted.

Ezra Miller's Eerie First-Grade Project: A Disturbing Book Report
In a tale that could easily be mistaken for a scene from a Stephen King novel, Ezra Miller's first-grade book report on Cujo has resurfaced, and it’s as unsettling as it is fascinating. Choosing the iconic horror story about a rabid dog, Miller took their project to an unexpected and chilling level. "I bought a big stuffed animal dog and covered it in blood," Miller recounted, a hint of mischief in their voice. But the true twist came with the project’s audio element: "I made a tape recording and hooked up the play button of the tape recorder to the dog's paw." The concept was both innovative and eerie—push the paw to hear Miller's dramatic reading of Cujo through the voice of the bloodied stuffed animal.

Robert Pattinson's Culinary Adventure: The Quest for Piccolini Cuscino
In a delightfully chaotic attempt to revolutionize fast food, Robert Pattinson embarked on a culinary journey to create a portable pasta dish he dubbed Piccolini Cuscino. This story, recounted during a memorable interview with GQ, showcases Pattinson’s unique blend of creativity and absurdity. The actor envisioned giving pasta "the same kind of fast food credentials as burgers and pizzas," pondering the question, "How do you make pasta that you can hold in your hand?" With grand aspirations, he crafted a prototype using a panini press and sought the advice of Sugarfish cofounder Lele Massimini. However, after presenting his business plan, Pattinson was met with an unchanging expression from Massimini, who offered no acknowledgment of his idea. “It kind of put me off a little bit,” he admitted, highlighting the stark contrast between his enthusiasm and the lack of response. Determined to bring his vision to life, Pattinson decided to demonstrate his creation for the GQ interviewer, believing that perhaps mentioning it in the magazine might attract a potential partner. He rummaged through his supplies, presenting an old box of cornflakes, a giant novelty lighter, nine packs of presliced cheese, and some sauce. Clad in latex gloves, he fashioned a makeshift sphere out of tinfoil, filling it with sugar, crumbled cornflakes, sauce, and cheese. Next came the pasta, which he attempted to cook in the microwave. After pulling it out, he remarked, “No idea if it’s cooked or not,” but proceeded to add it to the foil concoction anyway. “I mean, there’s absolutely no chance this is gonna work. Absolutely none,” he quipped, displaying a self-aware humor about the impending culinary disaster. He topped the mixture with half a bun, burning the letters "PC" into it with the novelty lighter—only to accidentally singe his hand in the process. After wrapping everything tightly in foil and placing it in what he claimed was an oven (though it looked suspiciously like a microwave), Pattinson set the timer for ten minutes. As the contraption heated up, a sudden “lightning bolt erupts,” causing Pattinson to duck instinctively, as if dodging gunfire. Crouched and giggling, he watched as the oven flickered ominously, the sounds echoing like a scene from a comedy. When the chaos subsided and the oven went dark, Pattinson stared at it, finally declaring, “Yeah, I think I have to leave that alone. But that is a Piccolini Cuscino.” His culinary escapade, filled with whimsy and unpredictability, perfectly encapsulates the charm and eccentricity that Pattinson brings to both his art and life.
