Durian fruit is used to flavour a wide variety of sweet edibles such as traditional Malay candy, ice kacang, dodol, lempuk,[46] rose biscuits, and, with a touch of modern innovation, ice cream, milkshakes, mooncakes, Yule logs and cappuccino. one of these things is not like the others edit: woops i suck, a yule log is also a cake. never heard of it and the wiki link in that sentence goes to "A yule log is a large and very hard log which is burned in the hearth" Malloc Voidstar fucked around with this message at 09:58 on Oct 16, 2013 |

The Flintstones franchise and its various spin offs, would fall under this category as well as Roland Emmerich's 10,000 BC. Literary examples include Edgar Rice Burrough's Back to the Stone Age and The Land that Time Forgot, and Jean M. Auel's "Earth’s Children" series, starting with The Clan of the Cave Bear.[20]

Something Awful [edit] In July 2008, Zack Parsons of Something Awful (SA) was tipped off by a forum post claiming that there was a pornographic parody of Super Mario Bros. Initially dismissed as fake, upon being confirmed as real, Something Awful attempted to buy the film through retailers with no luck. In August 2008, Parsons issued a challenge for Something Awful's "Horrors of Pornography" section of the site to obtain a copy of the film to review.[3] After numerous false leads, ranging from SA users giving a sex only CD-ROM with none of the dialogue scenes to people remembering they once had it but ultimately having some other porno they mistook for Super Hornio Brothers to one seller wanting $300 for the coveted copy, an anonymous benefactor gave Something Awful a DVD-rip of Super Hornio Brothers 2 for SA to review in June 2009. Super Hornio Brothers 2 contained a recap of Super Hornio Brothers, which was sufficient enough for Something Awful to play catch-up with the first film.[2] The Something Awful article is often the basis of other sites "finding out" about and making articles about the porn parody.[4][6][7][8] In addition, the films are claimed to have both existed and not existed by many people.[1][2][3]

Linguistic details [edit] In German, "Danke schön" is equivalent to the English "thank you very much." It is similar to the English "thank you kindly." The polite response is "bitte schön" or "bitte sehr", essentially a request (bitte, intensified by schön or sehr meaning "very") that the recipient take or keep the item or favor offered; in this respect it is roughly equivalent to "you are very welcome [to the item or favor offered]", in that both replies represent ratification of the recipient's accepting the item or favor. In German, schön (pretty) has a sound, "ö", that is not used in English. In the English lyrics the word is pronounced throughout the song as it is in Yiddish, שיין [ˈʃɛjn], approximately rhyming with "pain" rather than as German schön [ˈʃøːn]. Note that the German letter "ö" can also be written using the older typography "oe" (schön = schoen) – of which the umlauted O is a contraction – when umlauts are unavailable or not readily accessible. from the article on the song

The association of breasts with Parton's public image is illustrated in the naming of Dolly the sheep after her, since the sheep was cloned from a cell taken from an adult ewe's mammary gland.

Unicode representation of symbol[edit] The Fahrenheit symbol has its own Unicode character: "℉"(U+2109). This is a compatibility character encoded for roundtrip compatibility with legacy CJK encodings (which included it to conform to layout in square ideographic character cells) and vertical layout. Use of compatibility characters is discouraged by the Unicode Consortium. The ordinary degree sign (U+00B0) followed by the Latin letter F ("°F") is thus the preferred way of recording the symbol for degree Fahrenheit.

Yostos or Justus (Ge'ez ዮስቶስ, throne name Tsehay Sagad Ge'ez ፀሓይ ሰገድ, "to whom the sun bows") was nəgusä nägäst (14 October 1711 - 19 February 1716) of Ethiopia. According to James Bruce, he was the son of Delba Iyasu and a daughter of Emperor Iyasu I. He had served as governor of Samien under Emperor Tekle Haymanot, but fell out of favor under Emperor Tewoflos[1] -- despite it was Yostos who, immediately after the assassination of Emperor Tekle Haymanot travelled to Mount Wehni and brought Tewoflos down.[2] According to Richard Pankhurst, on the death of Tewoflos, the chief nobles of Ethiopia feared that the cycle of vengeance that had characterized the reigns of the previous two rulers would continue if a member of the Solomonic dynasty were picked for the throne, so they selected one of their own to be nəgusä nägäst. However Yostos encountered many challenges to his authority, and was forced to remain in the capital of Gondar for his entire reign, leaving the city only to hunt. After a few years, the political situation stabilized enough for him to construct two new churches in Gondar, Lideta Mariyam ("Birth of the Virgin Mary") in 1713, and Abba Antons ("Father Anthony") in 1715.[3] Bruce notes that Yostos faced a conspiracy to depose him shortly after taking the throne: while he was away from Gondar on a hunt, a group of men he had entrusted his government to had planned to overthrow him. Yostos, with a body of picked men, returned to his capital at night and surprised them sitting in council. His chief minister, Ras Hezekias, and his Master of his Household, Heraclides, along with five others, had their nose and ears cut off then thrown into prison. One of the chief conspirators, Benaia Basile, however managed to escape, having been warned of Yostos' sudden return, but was later caught and punished.[4] The following year Yostos led a slave-raiding expedition against one of the peoples, once collectively referred to as the Shangalla, who lived along the western border of his kingdom, specifically the people known as the Baasa. These he surprised, slaying the adults and taking their children captive. Yostos had his expedition brought to an end after this first predation when the death of his confident Ras Fasa Krestos.[5] In January 1716 Yostos grew ill, and according to his Royal Chronicles withdrew from public life. Bruce provides more information: while supervising the work on the Abba Antons church Yostos "was taken suddenly ill, and, suspecting some unwholesomeness or witchcraft in his palace, ordered his tent to be pitched without the town until his apartments should be smoked with gunpowder." However, the fumigation accidentally burned down part of the palace, which was seen as a "very bad omen".[6] Yostos, still unwell, took up residence in another part of the Royal Enclosure, but fear that he would make his son Fasil heir to the throne led to a battle between his courtiers (who wanted the ailing Emperor to proclaim an heir) and the Imperial Guard (who were loyal to the Solomonic dynasty). Victorious, the Imperial Guard proclaimed Dawit III Emperor 30 January. Meanwhile, Emperor Yostos was still alive in the palace, forgotten in his sick bed until his death. He was given a respectful burial in Lideta church.[7]

Hogge Wild posted:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberpunk_derivatives Nanopunk Main article: Nanopunk Nanopunk refers to an emerging genre of speculative science fiction still very much in its infancy in comparison to other genres like that of cyberpunk.[17] The genre is similar to biopunk, but describes a world in which the use of biotechnology is limited or prohibited, and only nanites and nanotechnology is in wide use (while in biopunk bio- and nanotechnologies often coexist). Currently the genre is more concerned with the artistic and physiological impact of nanotechnology, than of aspects of the technology itself.[18] twitch
