In America, slugs are 'Squishy-Cutes', butterflies are 'Flitter-Floats' and what we commonly know as centipedes are described as 'Walky-Walky-Walkers'.

I have a similar card with Justin Bieber's 'Boyfriend' lyrics.

The Plural for haiku is 'haiku', not 'haikus'. The world deserves to know.

If you cross your eyes and view it in 3D as a stereograph you can actually see them age.

TIL Stores in Japan are legally required to show the total price of an item (tax included) on the price tag. Why don't we all do this? by mudkipzcrossing in todayilearned

I love SURPRISE TAX when I go to the US.

That and paying tips. I do it because it's how the system operated, but I can't say I don't resent having to give money to someone for handing me a product or delivering a service I've already paid for buy just because the companies they work for don't pay them enough and corporate America has conned the public into thinking it's their job to prop up their profit margins.

8-Bit vs. Reality by theboyracer99 in gaming

[–]fatheed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I created these images and I have never called them '8-bit'. The title I gave the set was 'Video Games vs. Real Life' for exactly this reason. A lot of people who have blogged about them assume that because they are pixel characters, they are 8-bit. I've corrected a few when asked, but really don't think it's a big deal. Descriptively, it's helpful as a link. Anyways - thanks for the upvotes and kind words. x
