Japanese cartoon lovers petition for a right to marry their favourite characters

I know all of us have a favourite cartoon character, but how would you like to marry one? Taichi Takashita, a man from Japan, fell in love with a famous Japanese cartoon character Mikuru Asahina and wants to marry her.

Does that guy realize that Mikuru is an anime character? That won't stop him, I'm sure.

Bonus!

"Ergo Koolaidum!"

The International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes is the institution that deals with the naming of new species of bacteria and other single-celled organisms. They have their International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (formerly the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria), which governs the naming rules.

They have a PDF of a particular part of their Code of Nomenclature:

International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes: Appendix 9: Orthography

Here is an interesting part:

G. Names originating from languages other than Latin or Greek

[...]

(4) National foods or fermentation products (e.g. sake, tofu, miso, yogurt, kvas, kefir, pombe, pulque, aiva etc.) often do not have equivalent Latin names and if typical microorganisms found in them or causing their fermentations are described, they may be named after them. These names cannot be used unaltered just as specific epithets in the form of nominative substantives in apposition . They are properly latinized by forming a neuter substantive from them by adding -um (e.g. sakeum, tofuum, kefirum, pombeum etc.) and the use of the genitive of that (ending: -i) in the specific epithet (e.g. sakei, tofui, kefiri, pombei etc.).

How about if typical microorganisms are found in Kool-Aid?

The name would be rendered as koolaidum, genitive singular koolaidi!

Hilarious!

CNN -- Jesse Levey is a Republican activist who says he believes in family values, small government and his lesbian mothers' right to marry.

Levey is part of the "gayby boom" generation. The 29-year-old management consultant is the son of a lesbian couple who chose to have a child through artificial insemination. He's their only child.

"Res Stulta de Coelacanthis"
"Stupid Thing about Coelacanths"

I found this idiotic thing at Wikipedia's Coelacanth entry:

In Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Nozomu complains about how everything no longer resembles the original as they continue to change. Kafuka explains that everything has to evolve then Abiru refutes her by saying that when the Coelacanth was rediscovered, it remained true to its original form and they set off to find more species that may have not evolved after their supposed extinction.

Augh, no no no no no no. And no.

Coelacanth is the common name for an entire order of fish. To give an idea of what this means: humans, apes, monkeys, and lemurs are of the same order -- Primates. Nobody who knows better is claiming that all of the Coelacanths are of the same species. In fact, nobody who knows better is claiming that the animals living nowadays are of the same species that lived long ago!

They did evolve, just not into something that has been given its own order name!

What a crazy idea for a game show: a Turkish program is looking for 10 atheists to compete for the chance to be converted. What next, a show with healthy contestants competing for the chance to be infected with a disease, and the winner gets a long hospital stay?

The game show producers give their bias away when they announce "We don't approve of anyone being an atheist". They're also planning to have a team of theologians to screen out religious people pretending to be godless so they can get a free trip to the holy site of their choice.

From that article:

"We don't approve of anyone being an atheist. God is great and it doesn't matter which religion you believe in. The important thing is to believe," Soylu said.

So, just as long as someone believes in some deity, it's a-okay, eh? You know, I somehow really doubt that.

Rei: Sister of Shinji, she is the most active of the pride and is the leader.

Asuka: Since she was born a month later than Shinji and Rei, she was bullied a lot. She is the same size as them now though, so they get on well.
