I don’t recall when I first saw it. It’s been in the maps thread before. I googled something like “chemical element place name map” to bring it up again.

I never played any of the Jedi Knights games, and a Star Wars fan who told me about Kyle Katarn was eating at the time, so for years I thought the extended Star Wars canon had a character named "Guile Guitar".

It's honestly not much more ridiculous than any other Star Wars name so I didn't really question it, and I still wish that was his actual name.

My mother's mother's name was Helga. It was never any sort of secret or great mystery; I knew my mother's aunt had had a sister called Helga, but I'm just really loving stupid so didn't make the connection.

So do I, so I can stop thinking about him whenever anyone mentions Kyle Kinane.

I like both of them. I read some of Graham Greene's works when I was a kid and and enjoyed them. I also like Graham Greene the actor as well. He's funny as hell and does a pretty good job of doing drama too.

Well, I just found out that the song "Loving You" really does go "dood'n dood'n doo doo! AHHHHH!", and it wasn't just South Park making a joke that nobody knows the lyrics in that bit.

More for you: the woman who sang that song, the late Minnie Riperton, is Maya Rudolph’s mother. She sings, “Maya, Maya, Maya,” as the song fades out.

Edit: doing some fact checking to make sure I was getting everything right, I just found out that Maya Rudolph was a member of The Rentals, Matt Sharp’s (formerly of Weezer) band; she played keyboard and did backing vocals on tours supporting their first album

No, that part I get. It's the seeing it as a rooster that I can't fathom.

But I'm on a smartphone, so maybe it looks different on a computer, like you said.

It does a little bit. The white marks indicating the noise are red on a computer and are angled in a way that I could see parsing as the crest and tail. Looking at it again on my smartphone those elements are totally different
