Lmao Hetalia, I didn't realize how racist it was until I watched it more and more. I was blinded by the comedy in the beginning... still funny though.

Hey you never know... i only learned roman numerals cuz i had summer school one year

[HawkBoss]

But its on right now and the Broncos are getting creamed.
Also the term Super Bowl was originally a joke in that big college games are called bowls so the biggest pro game would be The Super Bowl, made by Jim Foster (Founder of the AFL, the former rival to NFL) 47 years ago.

Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.

That can't possibly be true. If it were, it wouldn't explain the prevalence of masturbation and homosexuality in the animal kingdom. Sex is a naturally rewarding and pleasurable experience -- most scientists simply won't ascribe that sort of humanization to species other than humans, dolphins, and occasionally apes, because of their intelligence.

Anyway, some fun ones about Transformers, since I was just in a discussion about the upcoming toys movie this summer.

• Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen holds the record for the largest explosion in a movie with actors om set. Only will tell if Michael Bay can top himself.
• The computer model for Devastator from the same film (the gigantic combiner that attacked the pyramid) took up 32 gigabytes of data and fried a computer that was processing it.
• Speaking of Michael Bay, there is a direct correlation between the number of explosions in a Bay film and its box office gross.
  
• The Transformers films consistently make more money in toy revenue than box office gross -- which is saying something, as the last one grossed over a a billion. The next film could probably break even and Hasbro would continue with a trilogy if the toy sales stayed as good as they are.
• According to Hasbro's estimates, approximately 10-20% of Transformers sales come from adult collectors. No word yet on the proportions for My Little Pony.
• Leonard Nimoy, best known as a certain Mr. Spock, did the voice for Sentinel Prime in the last Transformers movie. This actually isn't the first time he's voiced a Transformer, though -- he also voiced Galvatron in the '86 animated film.
• A lot of the voices in the '86 movie were actually provided by A or B-list celebrities, including the late Orson Welles of all people, who provided the voice of Unicron, the film's planet-eating antagonist. It was his last performance ever and the film was released after his death. Welles had this to say about his role:

The Japanese have funded a full-length animated cartoon about the doings of these toys, which is all bad outer-space stuff. I play a planet. I menace somebody called Something-or-other. Then I'm destroyed. My plan to destroy Whoever-it-is is thwarted and I tear myself apart on the screen.

It's worth noting that the film was an American production outside of the animation being outsourced to Toei Animation (also responsible for Dragom Ball, Fist of the North Star, and One Piece in animated form) and that Unicron never actually received a toy until more than a decade and a half later.

• While on the subject, Unicron's minions are occasionally referred to as his "heralds" -- which is ironic, because they don't actually herald anything. It's almost certainly a jab at Galactus, whose heralds actually do herald his coming.
