- Ummm, who's still taking vacations in Colombia?
- It's interesting that someone actually records these stats. Why do people predominately jump off of one side rather than the other?
- Wikipedia featured this article the other day. In other news, once upon a time, Belgium actually invaded someone.
- Speaking of Belgians, I work with a lot of them, so I probably know more things about the country than most Americans. But when I tried to think of famous Belgians, all I could come up with was Jean Claude Van Damme and Adolph Sax. I bet most people wouldn't even have Adolph Sax (inventor of the saxophone.) Apparently, trying to think of famous Belgians is a parlor game in the UK. So, how many famous Belgians can YOU think of?
- One last bit on Belgians: RSDb only has four slurs for Belgians, none of which are even that bad, as opposed to twenty-two for the Dutch.
- Perhaps one of the greatest scenes ever filmed. I'll admit it, I get chills every time I see it. Incidentally, I'd like to point out that 35 years after the completion of Apollo 17, the twelve Americans who walked on the moon are still the only human beings to ever walk on the moon. No other country has even sent men beyond Earth's orbit.
- Here one way the Muppets can find acceptance among today's youth, spoof a rated R movie. What's next, the Muppets spoofing Pulp Fiction? (Kermit: "Miss Piggy is nice. The Pigs in Space are nice." Gonzo: "Ratso can bake me a pumpkin pie, but that doesn't mean I'd befriend the filthy motherfucka.")
- The Dana Carvey Show only ran for six episodes, and was easily the best sketch from those six.
- Oh come on, a live action Robotech movie? Why not just a live action Macross movie? And will it include Minmei?
- The greatest game show ever.
Many people I've mentioned this to have compared it to the Running Man. If they've basically made a game show out of Grand Theft Auto, why not Running Man? Here's my pitch:
It'd be very similar to Special Forces Manhunt on the Military Channel, the difference being, instead of a trained former SAS man like Chris Ryan, it'd be just a regular contestant, and instead of exotic locals like a jungle or a desert, they'd use the abandoned city of Prypiat in the Ukraine. The city was built to house the employees of the Chernobyl power plant, and was abandoned after the accident. (The radiation can't be that bad if they allow tours there.) Let's face it, there aren't that many large abandoned cities out there. Instead of Stalkers, the hunters would be a squad of guest special forces units from all over the world. The contestant would wear a head mounted miniature camera and have an hour head start, and would have 24 hours to reach four checkpoints in no particular order without the hunters finding and shooting them first. The hunters would be armed with paint ball guns, and if the contestant is shot with a paint ball, the game is over. The contestant would only be armed with four paint grenades, and if a hunter is painted, then they're out of the game. The action would be covered by cameras mounted all over the city, as well as cameras on a hunters and the contestant. I don't know about you, but I'd watch.
