    I was going to say: Nothing quite brings out the kook like a burra

    This brought on by a co-worker discussing the eccentric uncle-in-law who has found AN AMAZING LINK BETWEEN THE WRITING OF TWO ANCIENT CULTURES! (Separated by about 5000km and 2000 years...) And is now being paranoid about his research being stolen by a professor in the field who thought that his research 'lacked rigor'.

    I heartily recommend http://skepticalhumanities.com/ which has an ongoing series on crank fringe linguistics.

SFF Music Video of the Week -#100

Well, we've made it through 100 episodes of this little vanity project of mine. Next countdown is to the two-year anniversary! This week's first video was uncovered by Leece who described it as "unexpectedly uplifting". Despite being from an American band, this is full of the most wonderfully over the top Eurovision style costuming and vibes. It is great to see exactly who the competent one is in the team!  Then we get to move on to the sequel video, which takes us into the counterpoint world of magical martial arts fighting games. And, oh my goodness, the eyes ! You will see what I mean! All of this was shot in some of the most spectacular places in Mexico, so we get some great scenery porn as just to round things out. So, from the 2019 album "Swing" enjoy "Fantasy" and "Swing" by SOFI TUKKER.
