Another talentless self-packaging pop star to blame Madonna for.

Next time I hear someone sob about his marriage again, I will scream.

"Scream" was a terrible series of "ironic" horror movies from the 90s and early 00s.

Scary Movie is a series of spoof comedy-horror films in the 2000s.

The 2000's saw the rise of crunk music.

"YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

The Justice Friends segment on Dexter's Lab had a character called the The Infraggable Krunk, a pastiche on the Hulk.

In backpacker circles, Laos is widely thought to be the most laid-back of the Southeast Asian conutries. Lao People's Democratic Republic, or PDR, is cheekily called "Laos - Please Don't Rush".

According to Mirror UK, Dr. Jari Louhelainen, an expert in the analysis of genetic evidence from historical crime scenes, claims to have shown that one of the key suspects in the Whitechapel killings was indeed Jack the Ripper.

The DNA of one of the suspects in the case was said to be a perfect match – a Polish immigrant named Aaron Kosminski who moved to London from Russia in the early 1800′s.

Kosminski was a 23-year-old hairdresser in London when the killings took place, and he resided a few hundred yards away from one of the victims’ residence. Reports say that Kosminski was most likely a paranoid schizophrenic. At the time of the murders, the police had no evidence to convict Kosminski, but he was kept under surveillance and stayed in mental asylums until his death.

The DNA evidence came from the blood-soaked shawl of Ripper victim Catherine Eddowes.

Although there were hundreds of suspects thought to be the real Jack the Ripper, no one was ever convicted for the murders.

The current (14th) Dalai Lama has said he thinks he may be the last one.

Mongolia is the 18th largest independent country in the world, but it also has the lowest population density.

Mongolians play a version of jacks using goat bones.

t’s very easy, just rehearse these phrases… and try use them with confidence in every conversation.

Use “canonical” when you mean “usual” or “standard.” As in, “the canonical example of talking like a physicist is to use the word ‘canonical’.”
Use “orthogonal” to refer to things that are mutually-exclusive or can’t coincide. “We keep playing phone tag — I think our schedules must be orthogonal”.
“About” becomes “to a first-order approximation”.
Things are not difficult, they are “non-trivial”.
Large discrepancies are “orders of magnitude apart”.
You’re not being lazy, you are in your “ground state”.
A tiny amount is “vanishingly small” or “negligible”. Really small is “infinitesimal”.
it’s not a wire, it’s a “conductor”.
You aren’t overweight, you are “thermodynamically efficient”.
