A testament to Wii U unawareness and the success of the 3DS:

Searching for "Mario Kart 8"... apparently, "Mario Kart 8 3ds" is searched for more often than "Mario Kart 8 wii u"... and "Mario Kart 8 wii" has made it into the suggested search as well... wow...

I discovered that twisting metal with pliers calms me down..... I'm starting to think I'm crazy or maybe it's because I'm using my muscles they say any physical activity is good for mental state......

The Lion-Eating Poem in the Stone:

《施氏食獅史》

石室詩士施氏,嗜獅,誓食十獅。
氏時時適市視獅。
十時,適十獅適市。
是時,適施氏適市。
氏視是十獅,恃矢勢,使是十獅逝世。
氏拾是十獅屍,適石室。
石室濕,氏使侍拭石室。
石室拭,氏始試食是十獅。
食時,始識是十獅屍,實十石獅屍。
試釋是事。

Written in Pinyin, it looks like this:

« Shī Shì shí shī shǐ »

Shíshì shīshì Shī Shì, shì shī, shì shí shí shī.
Shì shíshí shì shì shì shī.
Shí shí, shì shí shī shì shì.
Shì shí, shì Shī Shì shì shì.
Shì shì shì shí shī, shì shǐ shì, shǐ shì shí shī shìshì.
Shì shí shì shí shī shī, shì shíshì.
Shíshì shī, Shì shǐ shì shì shíshì.
Shíshì shì, Shì shǐ shì shí shì shí shī.
Shí shí, shǐ shí shì shí shī shī, shí shí shí shī shī.
Shì shì shì shì.

It translates to this:

« Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den »

In a stone den was a poet called Shi, who was a lion addict, and had resolved to eat ten lions.
He often went to the market to look for lions.
At ten o'clock, ten lions had just arrived at the market.
At that time, Shi had just arrived at the market.
He saw those ten lions, and using his trusty arrows, caused the ten lions to die.
He brought the corpses of the ten lions to the stone den.
The stone den was damp. He asked his servants to wipe it.
After the stone den was wiped, he tried to eat those ten lions.
When he ate, he realized that these ten lions were in fact ten stone lion corpses.
Try to explain this matter.

I know Mandarin is a tonal language, but the fact that this is possible.

@SomeBittripFan That is totally mindblowing

The only thing is that it uses some obsolete words and the grammar is a little weird, but it's still amazing how coherent it could be. I wonder if that's also possible with some other sound...

always thought I'd change to Gyarados after I turned 20 but hey, this is more fitting I guess. (also somebody registered under the original Magikarp name and I can't get back to it anymore orz)

Warning: I think Lz is trying to control our minds. I was just sitting at the computer, letting my mind wander, and suddenly I yelled "ALL HAIL KING LZ". I am being 100% serious here.

You're saying that like it's a weird thing.

I played through the Wall Market sequence in Final Fantasy VII today.

I'm not sure exactly what happened but I am very very afraid

A local pawn shop just aired a commercial where their staff performed a "Harlem Shake" (or whatever it's called), & one of them was dressed up as Link playing an ocarina, lol (in addition to Batman, an Angry Bird, Elmo, & more).

I was sitting at my computer just after finishing my dinner and I saw two cars pull up outside my house.. a bunch of people were unloading, it was dark, so I couldn't tell what was going on. I went to the door and to my dismay, it was my neighbor and a bunch of their friends... caroling. It was really awkward and well.. weird. I had to stand there by myself while like 12-15 people sang me 3 Christmas carols.

At least I got some free Christmas cookies out of it.. so there's that.

P-people still go caroling? I thought that was a myth...

I'm afraid I can't talk about my weirdness of the day, but lets just say I won't be getting much sleep tonight...

Yesterday, though, I spent all night obsessing over some weird story I made up about a girl who went to a foster home...I can't go into much detail about it, though, since what started as a fun story about a girl gaining a new lease on life through her wacky new family grew DARK DARK DARK very quickly and I just couldn't stop it. It was like being the conducter of a train whose breaks just went out. It was well and truly terrifying after a while.

^You were probably reading that while eating something with BBQ Sauce at some point in time. I have similar trigger memories, such as: Every winter when I start up a fire in the stove it reminds me of a online game I used to play called Dransik. Or when I hear I certain songs by System of a Down it instantly takes me back to place in the game Dark Age of Camelot.. quite nostalgic, makes me really want to play that game. Heh.

I haven't had much weirdness today.. but my cat did have to get his tail amputated earlier this week. He came home after missing for a few days with his tail missing all the hair/skin and looked like a limp Slim Jim. It had quite a disturbing appearance. He's all fine and well now with a little stub and a shaved bottom. No idea what happened to him though as far as his tail goes. I'm thinking he narrowly escaped death by coyote or possibly a car belt. They tend to go under the hood when it's cold outside.. but he seems smarter than that so I have no idea.
