I just occurred to me that Beck does not literally have two turn tables and a microphone.

He probably does. I would imagine he has even more than that actually.

I guarantee it's an extremely subtle difference in vowel shape that only native French speakers can hear or indeed care about.

I totally thought that was what he was singing too. Thank god I'm not alone.

I hate that song so much, almost as much as Saturday in the Park--just the quintessential grocery store muzak. The words there don't fit the meter at all, which is probably why no one can understand what he's singing.

content: until I was eight, I pronounced "rabies" like the multiple of "rabbi."

I could pronounce rabies just fine, but I was in high school before I was able to sort out that rabid had a different vowel sound at the beginning, and was not actually pronounced like ray-bid.

My favorite weird bit of irish is "duine gorm", which is the proper phrase to use to describe a black person, except it literally translates as 'blue person'. One theory I read was that it happened because the first irish people to meet a black african didn't want to be rude and call them 'duine dubh' (black person) because that was uncomfortably close to a common term for the devil.

edit:bad grammar as gaeilge

Didi Conn (the lady from Grease and Shining Time Station) is not the same access as Nana Visitor, the lady who was on Deep Space Nine.

I mean, I suppose I kinda knew, since in terms of Grease/STS and DS9 there's no way they could be the same actress, but I just got off my proverbial rear end to confirm it.

Why not? Nana Visitor was 21 when Grease was released, which seems like a pretty reasonable age for a character that's in high school.

E: confirming that Salt was a surprisingly interesting book.
