He had dyed his hair green, no?
No, that's the Mandela Effect again - his hair was dyed orange, and nothing to do with The Joker.

Actually I just remembered it as being dyed. Though I could imagine the media creating a Joker-connection even if there wasn't one.
Okay I'm not - necessarily - making a Mandela out of this, but....Lyme disease. Whaaa!?
Apparently it's quite a big problem in the UK right now:.
Nowadays forested parks in Europe (and even Russia) feature scary signposts showing dangerous ticks - warning you not to sit down too long in certain areas - and generally to keep an eye out for them - for fear of getting Lyme disease. But this is all new to me!
In fact I can't think of a time when this ailment has featured in English Literature (which I have studied to higher degree level). You might have thought that a realistic, somewhat gloomy, rural writer like Thomas Hardy would have mentioned Lynme disease somehwere if it had been a reaL problem then (perhaps by another name) - but I can't recall anything like that.
As far as I knew dangerous insect bites were the province of hotter, southerly climes. Of course, one would get bitten by something out in the sticks...but it was an annoyance and never an issue in the UK, or northern Europe.
Which brings me onto my next question: is this spread of Lyme disease related to climate change at all? And if so, why aren't I hearing people say this?
I bought a copy of "Kate Bush: Greatest Hits" on CD, largely to replace my long-gone vinyl. And straight away, the version of "Wuthering Heights" that emerged was so different that I seriously wondered if I'd slipped into a slightly different alternative universe - this simply was not the single version I fondly remembered. not at all. ...
A remixed version, featuring rerecorded vocals, was included on the 1986 greatest hits album The Whole Story. This version also appeared as the B-side to her 1986 hit "Experiment IV".
If you're talking about The Whole Story, it's because she had put on a new vocal on the song.I bought a copy of "Kate Bush: Greatest Hits" on CD, largely to replace my long-gone vinyl. And straight away, the version of "Wuthering Heights" that emerged was so different that I seriously wondered if I'd slipped into a slightly different alternative universe - this simply was not the single version I fondly remembered. not at all. Most of the other familiar tracks were pretty much as I recalled them - the collected single releases much as they were on vinyl - but this one track, THE Kate Bush track, was not the one I remembered. Not in the slightest. The obvious explanation is that some bloody producer just could not leave well alone, had got hold of the original master tapes, and sincerely beleived he was "improving" it. either that or this is an alternate mix that crossed from a nearby parellel universe where that was the hit. Or else I genuinely did remember it wrong and this is exactly as it was when released...
A tricycle.No looking or cheating but in The Shining, what does the little boy use to get around the hotel?
it is a 3 wheeled thing but it's not a tricycle
...He's in a 3 wheeled pedal car which looks like a go-kart from the back. So I suppose it is a 3 wheeled thing but it's not a tricycle. ...
I'm confused....surely this is a tricycle? ...
He's *on* it, not *in* it. (Classic children's pedal cars have enclosing bodies)
I'm not the discoverer of this "Mandela effect". It might be a typical misunderstanding. Google search for "Sally Field" gives 3.5 mill. hits. Search for "Sally Fields" gives 454,000 hits.I've always known her as Sally Field. Are you getting mixed up with W.C. Fields? Very similar screen persona.
