Random Fact #4648:
Elephants are the largest land mammals and have few natural predators. However, they are truly afraid of something very small: bees!
The reason for this is because while their hide is thicker than that of humans, bees would try to target things that are much more vulnerable, such as their trunks, mouths and eyes.

Hey guys! I just got back from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and I have to say, it was way cool! I know that I'm behind on my reviews but I will say it's well worth seeing! Forget what Michael Bay may have tried to do with our Heroes in a Half-Shell, this one is far superior! Well, you say that about just about everything that’s based on a cartoon from the 80’s that you loved, so it’s no big surprise that you loved it. Well, remember Belchic. Earlier this year, I was against the idea of there being another movie based on Super Mario Bros. because I was on my high horse about something that came out in the 90s. Despite my doubts and naysaying I gave it a chance and I still enjoyed it. It might be your turn now.

I'm going to be watching Pee-Wee's Big Adventure tonight in his memory.
I'll also add he was the Penguin's father on Batman Returns and did the voice of Sir Malachi on one episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012).
RIP Paul Reubens, aka Pee-Wee Herman.
It's going to feel different when I rewatch the Pee-Wee's Playhouse Christmas Special this holiday season...

I've been seeing a lot of ads for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem lately. I think I'm really going to enjoy that movie.

Yep, I heard about that one. I think was also part of USA for Africa back in 1985 when they all did "We Are The World".
RIP Tony Bennett

The Barbie movie is coming this weekend.
I will say something like this is not going to be my bag because... well you know, I am not the target demographic.

Parents do need some entertainment options for their kids Belchic. It's summer, it's hot outside and kids need to get out of the house and do something.
They have some really nice movies to see at the cineplex so it's a good time to go, am I right?

Random Fact #4630:
In the Street Fighter series of video games, they are notable for having a wide range of diverse and colorful characters. This game would effectively revolutionize one-on-one tournament brawlers and even today one classic game that still sees tournament play is the 1994 game Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo.
However, not each and every single character saw the same level of evolution--chief among them was the sumo fighter E. Honda.
Added to the starting lineup of playable characters in the original 1991 game, he was added to give the game some cultural representation as well as to represent Japan alongside Ryu, like how Guile represents the USA alongside Ken. To try to help him stand out from the cast as his original design was too plain, they added kabuki face paint to make him look like a heroic character (in kabuki theater, red face paint means heroic while the villain has red and blue). However, this did cause some controversy and some outlets banned imagery of his character due to some organizers feeling his face paint was sacrilege to their national sport.
Unlike how Guile had effectively evolved into a major character, E. Honda did not. Despite having gotten a major fight with Zangief in the 1994 live-action movie and a major role in the 1995 anime, he remains the least notable character of the initial Street Fighter 2 roster. He sees the least tournament play value, evolved the least character-wise, and appears in the fewest games. Even if by contrast Blanka plays similarly, more people use him over E. Honda because it's hard to pick a sumo wrestler over a Brazilian beastman.
Despite how he just doesn't get much attention from people, Capcom still doesn't retire him as a character because he's one of the first 8 World Warriors from the original 1991 game, and retro gamers feel the roster isn't complete without him.

Random Fact #4629:
In the Simpsons episode "King-Size Homer", the story is about Homer deciding to purposely gain weight so he can get on disability and work from home rather than face another day in the rat race.
Near the end of the second act, Homer tires of the monotony of his job and decides to go see a movie while the drinking bird types the "Y" key on his keyboard for him. After being denied, he goes home to find the drinking bird fell over and now a nuclear meltdown is imminent unless it is shut down manually.
At the time, Homer was out trying to see a movie, Bart and Lisa were in school and Maggie doesn't go many places without Marge. It's possible to assume it may have been innocently knocked over by Santa's Little Helper or Snowball 2, but a fan theory has been floating around that Marge may have purposely knocked it over and now the town may be in danger as a result.
We don't know the exact answer, but if Marge was willing to risk a nuclear meltdown in order to get Homer to get up and move, that is some massive well-intentioned extremism.
