  • To add to this, it’s widely used in Brazil who copied it from surf culture.

    China also uses it as part of their one hand counting system. To them it’s the number 6 (pronounced ‘leo’). The use of it in western culture has allowed them to adopt it as a way of saying something is cool. They will say 666 (pronounced “leo leo leo”) while making the hand gesture to say something is cool. This fact was very fun to explain to my ultra conservative family back in the states.

    Source: I taught in China for nine years in an international school with a very large Brazilian community.









  • Because 1 Drakon is 1000 Cubic 100tholians, which takes 1000 Vornies to raise 100 degrees on the Flugar scale to boiling point.

    Metric is very scientific, but it was made through arbitrary means. They chose to make it easier than imperial by using divisions of 10. But it’s all based on a single measurement that they made up through arbitrary means.

    “We have this length called a meter. How do we define it? Let’s use it to measue something in nature and then use that measurement to define it.”


  • Sir, you have taken my words and misconstrued them to make me appear foolish. To that I say… Touché.

    So let’s get extremely technical and a little petty.

    If we only count movies with the title “The Mummy” then we have:

    The Mummy (1911) The Mummy (1932) The Mummy (1959) The Mummy (1999) The Mummy (2017)

    I propose that because you immediately suggested that the “remake” I was referring to was the 1999 film and was immediately precided by the “original” then you are MISTAKEN!!!

    That would mean that you believed the 3rd movie in this list was actually the “original”. How utterly foolish of you. I laugh at your expense. Ha ha ha.

    But seriously, I grew up loving the 1999 Mummy movie and I refuse to see the newest one.
