Absol, Houndoom and Lucario are all based on dark canines of myth, the Barghest, the Cerberus and Anubis (yeah I know he's a god, but he cuts people's hearts out and weighs before throwing it to a crocodile) respectively.

Indiana Jones' real first name is Henry. Indiana is a nickname, as well as the name of his childhood pet. ...It's also the name of a dog George Lucas owned in the years shortly before the first Indiana Jones movie.

It'll still say it if you log out. It's only a "visitors in the last 15 minutes" thing.

You only need to log out if you're worried about someone else using your account.

In Indiana Jones 4(SPOILERS ALERT!!!), there is a glimpse of part of the Ark of the Covenant, for about 5 seconds.

By the way, who here has seen it yet? I was fortunate enough to be early on line with my cousins to see it on the Third Day, Last Saturday. How about you all?

Nerp. I never go to movies.

Volt Tackle's Japanese name (Volteccer) is named after a move used by Pulseman, hero of the game with the same name. Pulseman was also developed by Gamefreak.

To the kid who said French toast originated in Belgium: Virtually every European country save for England, Ireland, and maybe Spain, has credited French toast as theirs. Its actual plae of origin is France, where they call it "lost bread."

Nah, shortbread for the UK.

I was meant to go to see Indie at midnight to review it for my radio show, but I couldn't make it. My co-presenter saw it and loved it, apart from the ending being too CGI'd (he said).

Likewise I missed a free preview of Iron Man

Seeing that one tomorrow though.
