These wildly ambitious and divergent poll suggestions is why I love the IMDb poll so much.

Maybe I missed it, but you could mention the hit stage musical 42nd Street, which was named after the 1930's musical of the same title. Jerry Orbach was in the original cast on Broadway.
Also, Bill Clinton was the 42nd President of the United States.

@Jessica ,
My vote:
The book 'Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland' by Lewis Carroll contained exactly 42 illustrations. The author also frequently used of the number 42 in the text.
Lewis Carroll (AKA Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) was a mathematician, who incorporated puzzles and games of logic in 'Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking-Glass'.
I highly recommend 'The Annotated Alice' by Lewis Carroll (Author), Martin Gardner (Editor), John Tenniel (Illustrator).
'A landmark, bringing together a lifetime's work on Lewis Carroll by writer and mathematician Martin Gardner. He dazzles on Carroll's puzzles and games of logic and entertains on everything from Alice's influence on the Beat poet Jack Kerouac to how mercury in hat linings turned hatters mad...it is unsurpassed' - Jackie Wullschlager, "Financial Times". 'The indispensable guide to a classic of English literature...no one who has ever wondered about the meaning of 'Jabberwocky' should fail to include on their Christmas list' - Robert McCrum, "Observer".

The fact about Rainbows is super interesting. Never knew that.

@Jessica ,
Coincidentally, Turner Classic Movies (TCM) just started showing 42nd Street (1933).

I donate whole blood as often as I can. I'll throw my vote for that recently learned personally-relevant fun fact.

The Cheese shop is probably my favorite Monty Phyton's sketch, I voted for that one.
