Cool Runnings is actually based on a true story, except it wasn't Jamaica, it was Dutch Lesser Antilles. I think they chose Jamaica for the film because seriously, Dutch Lesser Antilles? What kind of a name for a country is that?

Damnit Stephen Fry, you lied to me.
(Okay technically, Dutch Antilles did compete in 1988, and placed ahead of Jamaica, but Jamaica did in fact take part.)
There are dangers involved with getting all of your information from QI.

That's libertarians for you - anarchists who want police protection from their slaves.
Kaelik, you're a worthless piece of shit who has never done a damn thing that earned you a bit of consideration. Shut up, you fucking shell. You're nothing. I pretty much generally ignore you, if you hadn't noticed, because you try to be the walking embodiment of pointless negativity and I really can't be bothered to even pity your bullshit.
Now. That said.
Fectin said the "I just can't believe" line. I remembered the movie that came out when I was...oh...six or seven? And after a couple minutes of ransacking my memory, the title popped up so I relayed it, because I knew Jamaica even had a bobsled team thanks to said movie. It's a fact that's stuck with me for twenty years.
Evidently Maj didn't know--did you, Maj?--so, hey, effort worthwhile, end of story as far as I was concerned.
It's possible--maybe even probable--that fectin was quoting a line from the movie, but, you know, I wasn't much of a movie-watcher when I was six or seven and I haven't seen it since so I'm not in a position to know.
Go eat your own shit, Kaelik.

He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

Zak S, Zak Smith, Dndwithpornstars, Zak Sabbath. He is a terrible person and a hack at writing and art. His cultural contributions are less than Justin Bieber's, and he's a shitmuffin. Go go gadget Googlebomb!

Yeah, I knew. I watched the movie when it came out during high school. I thought it was hilarious that they raised the money via Dogecoin.
My son makes me laugh. Maybe he'll make you laugh, too.
Pretty sure Maj did know, and was referring to the dogecoins and/or fectin, because nothing you said was funny.Maxus wrote:Evidently Maj didn't know--did you, Maj?--so, hey, effort worthwhile, end of story as far as I was concerned.

The dogecoin fundraising is hilarious. I don't know who'd going to convert it to real money for them, or who's going to do the work in exchange for dogecoin, but they have support.

One casting every six seconds at CL9 gives you a bit more than 40 liters per second, which is comparable to the flow rates of some small, but serious, rocket engines. Six items running at full blast through a well-engineered engine will put you, and something like 50 tons of cargo, into space. Alternatively, if you thrust sideways, you will briefly be a fireball screaming across the sky at mach 14 before you melt from atmospheric friction.
Maxus, the prose in your signature is really, really bad. I'm sorry that this doesn't actually have anything to do with the subject at hand, but it bothers me every time I accidentally read any part of it, and it's time somebody lets you know.Maxus wrote:Kaelik, you're a worthless piece of shit who has never done a damn thing that earned you a bit of consideration.

That's a terrible shame.
The signature is staying.
Edit: Actually, no, that's lack of sleep making me snippy. So I'm sorry for that.
Before I head off to bed:
The signature comes from a friend just randomly rocking up in an IM. It seriously went to the tune of:
So the signature is staying and I'm sorry for any eyeball-searing it may cause.

I laughed like hell, because I'd never thought of Mario as -that- badass, but it's completely true. I'm well aware of the clunky grammar, but I don't have the heart to alter it and it's turned out to be pretty popular and memorable.HIM: Hello
ME: What's up?
HIM: Contemplating the horror of Mario.
ME: ?
HIM: *explains*
