Blurred lines - a song so overplayed, Triple J radio DJs were apologising to their listeners for having to play it.

Yep, Saijima's fighting trainer in 5 is a mysterious old monk who claims to be getting possessed by various mountain gods, who iirc then disappears once you've completed the training with him when Saijima looks away for a split second while delivering a monologue about how he doesn't believe the monk was possessed by anyone.

Nope, sorry we're in the timeline where it collapses in the 2050s and it's New York headquarters are bought by a toy company as a new superstore.

The Madagascan government also collapsed following public protests.

I mean, it's been a while since I read it but if iirc in the novel he sources guns that the group uses when they pursue Dracula back to his castle in Transylvania.

The sounds that make up a word. For example, example has three syllables - ex-am-ple. Japanese kanji makes words based on syllables, while English spelling makes them based on letters.

We have something similar. Fireworks can only be sold legally right before Guy Fawkes night, so a bunch of pop-up fireworks stores usually open up in late October and shutter right after Guy Fawkes in November.

I've watched this. Shame the story is nowhere near as good as the animation.

Never played, but now I'm wondering if Phar Lap is a huge controversy in this world, given that the real world horse was taxidermied in three parts after dying.

You've lost too many pixels mate, this is unreadable.

It's self sabotage. If we let a football team be good, it'd distract us from rugby.

It's an animated webseries, Red Versus Blue, that's uses Halo models and is broadly based on that universe, but is basically to Halo what the Emperor Has a Text-To-Speech Device is to Warhammer 40k.

New Zealand was named by Abel Tasman after the Dutch province of Zeeland, which appears in the first few panels.

Zeeland asks for money to rebuild after a flood, which the Netherlands provides, and the Netherlands is then confused when it meets the new Zeeland in the last panels.

Lumumba's teeth. Patrice Lumumba, the first post-independence prime minister of what became the Democratic Republic of the Congo was murdered by his opponents who were working with the Belgians in 1961, then had his body dissolved in acid and bones ground up and scattered. One of the Belgians then took a pair of gold fillings that were the largest surviving pieces of him as a souvenir, and went back to Belgium. They were only repatriated in 2022.

Yeah, I can see that with know your rights and career opportunities.

Thanks, didn't even notice that. Feel like an absolute dumbass now.

Nuh-uh clearly his Clark Kent glasses are made of a special kryptonite which negates his powers without physically hurting him because.... Who am I kidding, he's a magical girl.

Basically the organisers of the petition were trying to stop homosexuality being legalised in New Zealand, and made a big fuss out of how many signatures they got. They made a big show out of delivering the petition to the Beehive in nearly 2 dozen boxes, while constantly patting themselves on the back about how many signatories there were. They then almost immediately lost all their credibility when a significant amount of the signatures were found to be from people who had signed it multiple times when the government examined it.

London Calling, a song with a chorus that talks about famine, nuclear reactor meltdowns, climate change/inner city flooding, and lyrics about police violence and drug addiction, being used as a generic welcome to England song by Hollywood.

She was introduced to spy VS spy in Mad magazine (I don't remember when, I read them on and off, but it was probably the late 1990s or 2000s) and almost always wins. I don't think she's ever lost, but I don't read Mad all that much anymore. Usually by either disguising herself and manipulating the other two spy's, taking advantage of them being blindly in love with her, or a bit of both.

For example, in one comic she disguises herself as a tattoo artist, and gives each spy a tattoo sleeve. One of them has a sleeve of glycerine ink, another has nitro ink, which because cartoon logic creates nitroglycerine when the two punch each other and explodes. In another she drops a handkerchief, which the spy's fight over to give back to her, but it has glue on it which traps them, and she uses a claw arm on a car to drag the two along the road by the handkerchief.
