Line 16:
* [[Cool Pet]]: He had a pet ocelot named "Babou" and a pet sloth.
* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]: Sometimes he gave his paintings ridiculously specific titles, like "Face of Mae West Which May Be Used as an Apartment" or "Slave Market with the Disappearing Bust of Voltaire"
* [[Eye Scream]]: A famous example in the film "''[[Un Chien Andalou"]]'', in which he collaborated with similarly surrealist director [[Luis Bunuel]]. The effect of a human eye being sliced with a razor blade was replicated with a cow's.
* [[G-Rated Drug]]: One of Dali's claims was that he ate a large quantity of Camembert cheese to give himself vivid dreams to serve as inspiration for his paintings. It's unknown whether or not he actually did so, and it's also unknown whether or not this would work, wouldn't work, or would work due to the [[Placebo Effect]].
* [[He Also Did]]: Of all things, designed the label for Chupa Chups lollipops.
