Test the ceiling for asbestos if the house was built before 1980.
I use a pump-action sprayer tank to soak the popcorn before scraping it off.
You should probably apply knockdown joint compound texture to the ceiling, because under that popcorn you will find uneven joints--that's why popcorn was so popular with builders. If it's really bad, you may need to tape and smooth out the joints before applying texture.

The writer claims US Army intelligence responded to rumors Japanese soldiers were issued opium-laced cigarettes. The video shows examples of packs of cigarettes stamped with markers showing they'd been investigated.

Tracktown refers to Track and Field, not speed skating.
Track and Field is of relatively low importance in the US, so it makes sense that its (arguably) greatest venue is a smallish college town in the Pacific NW. Kind of a nonsense statement typical of sportswriting filler.
Most non-mainstream sports in the US have their olympic training centers in Colorado, so that's probably the US version of Heerenveen.
