Jeez. I swear I picked pumpkin fast, but apparently I lost 33 points there. Does that mean I hesitated for like 3 seconds? Oh well, I stupidly picked platypus after immediately logicking out Raven because it has a beak.

I've been wondering about exactly how many points we lose per second myself haha, but yeah I was about the same on the pumpkin question, ruled out the sprint because Bolt and the tallest person because it didn't seem realistic, but I had to think hard about pumpkin vs. album

I highly recommend checking them and their show out. It’s very good. Robots is great introductory song. More accessible perhaps than Hiphopopotamus versus Rhymenoceros or Albi the Racist Dragon!

"Why does Goofy get to wear clothes but not Pluto?"

Because Goofy is anthropomorphic and Pluto isn't. As a normal dog Pluto doesn't care about clothes.

Exactly. To choose a more real-world example, why do humans wear clothes and chimps don't?

I just heard an NPR story about how the way the music industry tracks online music downloads has dramatically increased the number of weeks song/albums stay at number one. It turned into a big fat red herring today, though.

Dracula was written in 1897. It's less clear when it's set, but probably in 1890, with the epilogue in 1897.

Nintendo was founded in 1889. They didn't export on a large scale, but it's certainly plausible that someone would have brought the Count a deck of flower cards as a curio from Japan. (They would have to be flower cards: they only started making Western-style cards in 1902.)

Coca-Cola was launched in 1886. However, none of it was exported to the UK until 1900 — and I'm sure, even less to remote Transylvanian castles.

Conclusion: Dracula can play Nintendo, but cannot drink Coca-Cola.
