Things I learned from last night’s Trivia program

August 31st, 2006 by James

Sorry for today’s downtime. Here’s another update: Things I Learned from last night’s Trivia program.

Q: How much does it cost to take a taxi from Tokyo to the northernmost point of Hokkaido?

A: 461,570 yen (About 4000 US Dollars)

Q: What to goes prefer to eat: paper or grass?

A: Most goats prefer grass. Who would have thought?

Q: How much weight does it take to break one of of those metal bars that Japanese school children use for gymnastics/playing?

A: 795 Kilograms.

And finally: The narrator for next episode previews on the old anime ‘Fist of the Northstar’ becomes increasingly crazy with each episode. At the end of the first episode he is calmly announcing what will happen next. In the second to last episode, he is screaming like a mad man.

Wow science is cool! ;-)
I imagine myself dressing up in white coat wrecking playgrounds AND getting paid for it.
So… how many teaspoons of sugar does it take to turn the Japan Sea from salty to sweet?

Don’t forget what you learned about the Korean version of that Japanese song where the Korean singer says something like “flee your country” or something like that in Japanese.

Yea, this is a really bad explanation, but for those who watched show, you know what I mean :)

Yeah, I saw that Darin. But I wasn’t doing a video capture at the time and I wasn’t fully paying attention so I didn’t get any screenshots of it.

On an unrelated note, I really want to capture the latest Nova commercial. As much as their eikaiwa sucks, they do have funny commercials occasionally.

The goat thing, by the way, refers to a Japanese kids song in which a black goat writes a letter to a white goat who eats it without reading it then sends a letter back to the black goat asking where the letter is, but the black goat then eats the letter without reading and the cycle (and the song) repeats forever
