I was expecting “squirrel” in Dutch to be similar to the German “Eichhörnchen” (more phlegm jokes) but it’s “eekhoorn,” which Google tells me is just pronounced “acorn.”

The Green Fury, a DC superhero later known as Fire, transforms into her costume. “Now, another blast of flame — to send me … flying!” she says, as two jets of green fire escape from her nostrils.

I was not prepared for how bad JLA was, but at least they didn’t have the technology to portray Fire flying by shooting jets of green flame out of her nostrils. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en...

Getting spammed with pics of Grand Nagus Zek is a hell of a way for an 18-year-old to find out about DS9.

On Nov. 5, 1939, the National Research Council began to broadcast the Time Signal.
The signal was broadcast every day for the next 84 years, technically making it the one of the longest-running radio segments in Canadian history.
This is the story of the Time Signal.

I usually get sparrows and cardinals (and squirrels) at the feeder so I’m choosing to interpret this as a good omen for next season. #BlueJays
