-Bacterial Contamination is actually Japan's creative way of making an analogy to bullying. It's not about a plague, sorry DF.
 
it's illegal to pump your own gas in new jersey

Italy from Hetalia and Ulquiorra Cifer (Bleach) are voiced by the same person in the original Japanese anime adaptions of both, and also voices Romano after Axis Powers (World Series and The Beautiful World, and also the movie).

The person in question is known as Daisuke Namikawa, and I'm assuming by his article, he's pretty well known in Japan.

And here's another Tiny Toon Adventures-related fact I discovered while on Deviantart:

Though the show actually started in 1990, as a result of some sort of programming error, the entire series aired in the UK exactly one year prior, technically, the show ran from September 14, 1989-May 28, 1995 (I can't verify if this is true, though, if it is, then Tiny Toons officially joins such media as Ghostbusters II, Super Mario Land and Field of Dreams as part of the post-Berlin Wall 1980's culture phenomenon, plus, the original airdates with dates exactly a year prior to the actual premiere are used by my television provider, in Michigan!).
