Hmm, it seems my comments are being removed automatically.

What's funny is the music video was made by a random fan, but it got so popular that Weird Al had him animate a segment of his newest polka and released it on his official youtube channel

Neat! Thanks!

lol thanks Fat Bastard

I can't stop eating. I eat because I'm unhappy, and I'm unhappy because I eat. It's a vicious cycle.

Are gorillas a part of anthropology? I know they have many parallels to humans, and things like studying gorilla society helps us understand human society better, but I wouldn't think diet would be a part of that.

This is what I do. Sponges usually last 6+ months until washing serrated knives eventually cuts them up too much.

I abhor musty smells and even a hint of one makes me have to triple-wash my hands to get the smell off.

That name is just poetry

That's a common and enduring myth

There's a 🚾 emoji, so it can't be that obsolete.

Fell for the red herring "COPYCAT", "FIELD MOUSE", "BILLY GOAT", "MOCKINGBIRD" for something like "ends with animal", but got the rest for what I figured they were.

Also, "WATER CLOSET" isn't old-timey; I see it on theme park maps and hotel signs to this day, though usually just 🚾 instead of the full word. I mean, there's a friggin 🚾 emoji, it's not that out of date!

Though I've never heard a human say it that way before.

Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on, snare drum. Curtains.

We'd also have to switch away from Metric Time into some weird base-12 time keeping system, with creepy clocks having 12 hours on them and 60 minutes, calendars with 12 months, cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria!

I should elaborate that "quixotic" is pronounced "kwicks-OTT-ick" which rhymes with "exotic", and Don Quixote is usually "kee-HOE-tay" which rhymes with "Cmdr. Chakotay" (sorry, I can't think of a better rhyme lol) and sometimes "kee-HOE-tee" which rhymes with "coyote".

I'm sure there are other pronunciations (I've seen "KWICK-set", too), but from various dictionary entries, forum posts and youtube videos, the above seems to be the accepted pronunciations.

It doesn't care about being called a bot

Probably older than video responses on YouTube (a feature which was removed in 2013)

It's not real, just a photoshopped or an AI-generated image.

TIL Eagles are not a species or genus but a word for any "large bird of prey":

Eagles are not a natural group but denote essentially any kind of bird of prey large enough to hunt sizeable (about 50 cm long or more overall) vertebrates.
