Some... something? As someone said in some comment, a Dutch singer, a Finnish band, singing English for a German audience of 820000 From Wembley... -
Those Australian universities are at it again! https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c748kmvwyv9o "Two Australian mathematicians have called into question an old adage, that if given an infinite amount of time, a monkey pressing keys on a typewriter would eventually write the complete works of William Shakespeare." ... "The results indicated that even if every chimp in the world was enlisted and able to type at a pace of one key per second until the end of the universe, they wouldn't even come close to typing out the Bard's works. There would be a 5% chance that a single chimp would successfully type the word "bananas" in its own lifetime. And the probability of one chimp constructing a random sentence - such as "I chimp, therefore I am" - comes in at one in 10 million billion billion, the research indicates." There you go, very little chance of a chimp infringing on Shakespeare's intellectual property!

That's why monarchies are the superior form of government... Politicians and governments come and go every few years -
Dandadan episode 8... After the emotionally devastating episode 7 (not joking), it's back to make you smile and occasionally laugh again. After saving Aira's life by transferring "Silky's" (we never get her real name) life force to her, they all seem have ended up at Seiko's (Momo's grandmother) house for some dinner. Udon noodles unless I'm mistaken Starts out with an argument between Momo and Aira. The former apologizes for smashing a basin over Airas head and the latter is still convinced Momo is a demon in disguise. Hilarious argument that also has Japanses subs, because the bickering with their mouths fuill of noodles is incomprehensible, presumably even to Japanese ears. edit: No screenshots, but honourable mention to a scene that mixes Jurassic Park (the water ripple scene and hiding in the kitchen from raptor scene) with what I assume is Godzilla completely with laser beam cutting the walls in half, trying to obliterate Momo... Aira leaves the house and it's time for Turbo Granny (still trapped in the Neko Doll) to return the first of Okaruns balls. She shows herself as an excellent pitcher and returns it with a strike (I'm sure Okarun felt that one)! Turns out that Aira is developing some kind of feelings for Okarun, ambushes him behind a building at school... But Okarun, besides being shocked by the suddenness (wow, 3 double consonants, not something i see often), adamantly rejects Airas advances Asking her, where the heck that came from, she confesses top have learnt it from a book about romances she read! When pushed on where she found such "novels"... This is by the way (of course), the moment Momo walks by and sees what they're currently up to behind that building... Momo feels her day is ruined... Suddenly the school goes dark and the Momo is trapped by herself, while Okarun and Aira are trapped together. Turns out our old friends the Serpoans are back for more "bananas" Okarun is not amused, he was so happy he just got the first of his two missing balls back Turns out Aira got more than just Silky's life force in the previous transfusion, she inherited her spiritual powers too. Now she's truly the chosen one (because she's so pretty)! Back story, why Okaruns balls are missing

They should hire Ricky Gervais to host those award shows… might be worth watching then

More anime this way...

Split off from previous thread.... Incidentally ran across this interesting take on Dandadan episode 7. About how to do flashbacks in an interesting way and the power of show, don't tell. As well as comparisons to manga panels for the same sequences

I’m fairly sure the shrimp thing came from the same travel guide that introduced drop bears Ie an urban legend that exists overseas Usually I put steak or chicken on the bbq. Sometimes fish or vegetables. Some mornings I do egg and bacon on it edit something I grew quite fond of is mushrooms with lots of thyme

Ran across this trailer and started digging a bit. Looks like it could be fun (i.e. no guarantee it's any good, but at least it looks interesting). Basically a Japanese Fallout game set in 80's USA in a world where Japan successfully took over America Yes, full of 80's retro

Nothing exciting, just 2 minutes of monotony.... People sometimes raise an eyebrow or two when they find out my PC is connected to an UPS. But when you live where I live, it's not a luxury. Yesterday evening, while minding some meat on the BBQ, I took my phone and just shot 2 minutes of the night sky. Sometimes, weeks on end, every single afternoon and night, it looks like this... while my poor UPS is sweating and going <click><beep!>.... <click><beep!>... while compensating for power fluctuations
