The Top 15 Surprises in "Spice World"
- When Posh Spice refines Ginger Spice’s equations for the prediction of movement by quantum particles in the vicinity of super-string fragments in a relativistic framework, thus enabling the Spice Bus to make it to the concert on time.
- Original Spice Guy, Pete Best, replaced by younger, cuter, Baby Spice early in Spice Girls’ rise to fame.
- "Spice World"? Two thumbs down. Spice Girls’ acting? Finger down throat.
- The introduction of the sixth & seventh Spice girls, Liam Spice and Noel Spice.
- Original ending, in which all Spice Girls survived, changed because test audiences found it "too downbeat."
- Knock down bloody fight between Spice Girls and Salt-n-Pepa.
- Special effects by Industrial Light & Magic almost good enough to make the girls seem talented.
- Cameo appearance by Anna Nicole Smith as Spice Rack.
- Those huge heels are actually prosthetic devices that cover up their cloven hooves.
- Disclaimer at the end: "No clothing was harmed during the filming of this movie."
- Wal-Mart already boycotting as-yet-unproduced "Spice Girls" Action Figures.
- U.S. President emphatically denies having sexual relations with Intern Spice.
- Ginger Spice actually short for Gingivitis Spice.
- Entire wardrobe personally "tested and approved" by Marv Albert.
And the Number 1 Surprise in "Spice World"…
- Posh and Ginger are considered the smart ones because their names don’t end with a "y."
