Default A "Did you Know...?" section

I was thinking that a little box on the front page displaying random facts or interesting notes would be neat. The following would be a few things that people might find interesting:

... that the gold plated [[Taurus PT92]] with pearl grips and a black barrel used on ''[[Smokin' Aces 2: Assassins' Ball]]'' also saw use in ''[[Driven to Kill]]''?

... that a lot of television series substitute the [[M249]] for visually modified [[Daewoo K3]] machine guns?

... that there are barely any discernible differences between the outward appearance of the [[Beretta_M9#Beretta_92F.2FFS|Beretta 92F]] and [[Beretta_M9#Beretta_92F.2FFS|Beretta 92FS]]?

... that most firearms used on ''[[A-Team, The|The A-Team]]'' are actually semi-automatic only? The actors were told to pull the triggers rapidly and in conjunction with the sound and special effects the illusion of automatic fire was achieved.

... that a lot of the [[Heckler_%26_Koch_PSG1#Heckler_.26_Koch_SR9_series_ of_Sniper_Rifles|Heckler & Koch SR9]] sniper rifles seen on-screen are actually converted [[Heckler_%26_Koch_PSG1#Heckler_.26_Koch_HK9|Heckler & Koch HK91]]?

... that the pages for shows like ''[[24]]'' and ''[[Miami_Vice_(TV_Series)|Miami Vice]]'' became too big at some point, so each Season was given it´s very own page?

... that [[Bruce Willis]] used a [[Die_Hard#Beretta_92F|Beretta 92F]] in the first ''[[Die Hard]]'' movie, but a [[Die_Hard_with_a_Vengeance#Beretta_92FS|Beretta 92FS]] in the [[Die Hard 2|second]] and [[Die Hard with a Vengeance|third]]?

... that during Yuri Orlovs ([[Nicolas Cage]]) review of the weapon stockpile in ''[[Lord of War]]'', the production actually used 3.000 real [[Lord_of_War#SA_Vz.58_Assault_Rifle|SA Vz.58 assault rifle]]s?

... that the [[Cobray 37mm Launcher]] is often used to impersonate the [[M203]]?

... that most of the weapons seen on ''[[Torchwood]]'' are actually airsoft?


these are only suggestions. The only problem right now is that there really is no more space on the front page for it.
