Earth: Mostly Harmless

So you two have been playing in the leaf-mounds today, am I right?

I love Pythagoras Switch. Not just because it’s nutty Japanese TV, but for the awesome intro kinematic contraptions.

This episode may well be best watched on hallucinogenic drugs. Not that you’ll need them.

TV Zen: Trisha Goddard

Who ever said chat shows were judgemental?

For those who aren’t aware, Trisha Goddard (on the right) is the self-appointed saviour of humanity, casting aspersions on all and sundry who venture into her daytime TV fiefdom.

This is a fascinating story - you can almost see Christian Bale queuing up to play this guy in a movie.

From 1972 until 1996, Robert Shields of Dayton, Washington, kept a minute by minute diary of everything he did. He wrote 35 million words before he was stopped by a stroke. Link (Via Neatorama)

del.icio.us will eat itself

I’ve been doing a bit of work using del.icio.us as a data provider so this post by Jason Kottke made me chuckle.

Besides, recursion is just cool.

to-to-to-to-toppings-zu

More TV In Japan madness. What does one pizza slice say to the other pizza slice? Why…

“Sun, hi! Pi pi pi pi pizza recun do, to to to to toppingts-zu”.

…of course!

There seems to be some romantic dialogue going on here between the boy pizza slice and the girl pizza slice. If anyone can explain this, please let me know, for pizza’s sake…

Animated Pizza Toppings Dance. Crust Goes Crazy.:

This is how you personify the feeling of those that are asked to take part in pizza. Through animation. Dancing, singing animation. And a twisty, yeasty ending. On TV. In Japan.

Thanks to TViJ reader Hamed for the tip!
