Mike Patton isn't the guy named Mike from Linkin Park. That's Mike Shinoda. Different Mikes altogether.

Tasteful Dickpic posted:The culinary definition is much more important to non-biologists, anyway. Who cares if a tomato is technically a berry? What does it matter that a peanut is really a legume? Not all fish have scales and not all "fish" the way many people use it in a culinary sense even have gills or even swim. Like how jellyfish and starfish aren't fish and those are archaic names for them or how people insist on calling apes monkeys. It doesn't matter 99%+ of the time but it is still wrong and it's really just as easy to be correct.

Calling a golf car a "golf cart" is another popular one. Or maybe it should be golf mobile.

Speaking of culinary stuff, I learned that a) love lamb and b) dislike crab. I'm reasonably sure I've had both before, but damned if I can remember it.

A locust is not a close relative of a grasshopper but is a grasshopper going super saiyan under specific conditions (overcrowding - getting bumped too many times releases serotonin and they transform physically into a locust before plaguing, they can then change back into a regular grasshopper when things die down). I'm sure I knew this before but it fell out of my head at some point.

purple death ray posted:It sounds like a pink floyd album actually Yeah, but it kind of sounds like post-Waters Pink Floyd, and while I'm appreciating that era more now that I'm over 40, I much preferred the angst-y prog-ness of earlier Floyd when I was younger and angst-ier.
