I just found out that Philip Jackson, who plays the part of chief inspector Japp in the televised series Poirot, was the model for "scary guy with pipe wrench" in A-Ha's legendary Take on me music video.

He also played "a cop turned into mobster businessman retiring from his criminal empire" in one of the newer police procedural series, I forgot which one.

Guess he took Poirot's death quite seriously. :D

Also that pronunciation doesn't contain pronounce.

Although I did grad school with a girl who pronounced it "pronounciation" and when corrected, didn't acknowledge she was doing anything wrong.

She wasn't doing anything wrong for trying to resemble Queen's english.

What's really cool is if you get a chance to visit the studios they will let you go into the Bungie World room that is just a large handball court converted into an environment for 100+ of the birds. You have to watch your feet because there's poo poo everywhere.

Even better, bungie (also bungee, bonji, etc.) cords are named after them, because parrotkeet bones are not only hollow but elastic. If you stretch a bungerigar out it'll snap right back into shape. There's even a sport named after it, where you stretch a parrotkeet out and then fling it at someone's feet, and they have to leap over it; predictably, it's called bungie jumping.

Bungee chords are pretty easy though, you just wrap it around the neck of the guitar and tighten, that's a pretty easy and economical way to transpose into an unfamiliar key.

Also I just figured out that parakeets were named so because they were worth twice as much as Guinea fowl chicks.

There’s dumb, and then there’s calling Indiana Jones movies “children’s movies” when the MPAA literally invented the PG-13 rating so people wouldn’t mistake them for kids’ movies.
