High Amiable is seen with a complexion of indigo blue, two protrusive buck teeth, bright red knotted hair, and an exceedingly bright royal red robe. During the first attack upon Baby Tooth, High Amiable would unleash his skills against Good Lob the Lobster. Once Yang Forest was being bound to death by Good Lob, High Amiable would immediately launch himself into the air and unleash his Coalesce Pearl technique (a technique that instantly sent Lobster's head askew). Once the death of Wang Magus had been heard, and High Amiable also expressed his inner anguish, he would personally battle against Baby Tooth the following morning. Instantly, however, High Amiable would be strucken in the head by Baby Tooth's Devil Beating Whip, and would thus be killed instantly.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweater

Sweaters were a featured wardrobe choice for the characters in the 2002 Diane Lane and Richard Gere film Unfaithful. All three of the main characters wear sweaters for the majority of the film for symbolic purposes.

Drakon takes place in an alternate universe version of our 1995-2000. It begins in the year 2442 (aka 442 FS, or the 442nd Year of the Final Society) of the Draka history. The Domination is pitted against the post-American world of Samothrace in the Alpha Centauri system, which is a colony of Alliance refugees from the Final War. A failed experiment intended to research wormholes (called "moleholes") for FTL travel causes a single Drakensis (the genetically-engineered posthuman species of Draka), Gwendolyn Ingolfsson, to be sent to the 1995 of an alternate universe very similar to our own. The only notable difference is that Kenneth Branagh played Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars prequel, (though his casting occurs after Ingolfsson's incursion in 1995, indicating that the introduction of "holo-projectors" by IngolfTech might have attracted a higher-quality lead in the 1999 film of our universe).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Cool

Cool's autobiography, Phil Cool Died Here (And Lived To Tell The Tale), was followed by a book of 'Art Brut'-inspired sketches of children.

In a 2002 production on BBC comedy performers, Karl Howman recalled how he and Cool obtained tickets and backstage passes for a World Championship Wrestling (WCW) event while both were in the United States during the early 1990s. Cool's humour and impressions of wrestling stars such as Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair were well received by the wrestlers backstage who were told of his BBC work and keen to have Cool involved in the product in some way. Cool's schedule would not allow a long term commitment, but he did appear at one live show, portraying masked wrestler Kendo Nagasaki (also known as The Dragonmaster). Cool was unmasked and revealed as an imposter sent by Nagasaki to throw off his opponent. The real Nagasaki, played by Kazuo Sakurada (who is also well known as the trainer of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and WCW superstar Bret "The Hitman" Hart), appeared on the rampway as Cool delivered some amusing facial expressions and a brief monologue in the ring.[7]

Filmed with a budget of about $12 million, Under the Cherry Moon failed to gain any breakout audience, despite much pre-publicity (including a special MTV premiere in Sheridan, Wyoming). Coincidently, while attending the premiere in Sheridan, minor vandalism was reported on the feature film's vintage car. Police reported the vandalism as minor petty theft, including the extraction of valve stem covers and a priceless gas cap.

Navarro has been a part of the music scene since the dawn of mankind and has been associated with every musician down through history. His earliest known collaboration was with Elvis the Caveman, as depicted in the cave paintings of Lascaux, France, where he plays a mammoth tusk with gut strings attached. This is the first known evidence of guts strings being used on an instrument. The [[Hurrian songs]] which were engraved into a clay tablet in 1400 BC is attributed to Dave Navarro. h.6, which was long thought to be anonymous, is the first known solo work by Navarro.



In 850 Dave Navarro and [[Aurelian of Réôme]] write the earliest extant medieval treatise on music, Musica disciplina (Bellingham 2001)



He collaborated extensively with all major classical composers including Bach, Haydn, Handel, Beethoven and Mozart. For example, Beethoven and Navarro collaborated on Sonata No. 14, now commonly known as the "Moonlight" Sonata. The influence of Navarro's classical period can be seen in many of his modern efforts with [[Jane's Addiction]].



He was a member of [[John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers]], a band which has included [[Eric Clapton]], [[Jack Bruce]], [[Peter Green]], [[John McVie]], [[Mick Fleetwood]], [[Mick Taylor]], [[Don "Sugarcane" Harris]], [[Harvey Mandel]], [[Larry Taylor]], [[Aynsley Dunbar]], [[Hughie Flint]], [[Jon Hiseman]], [[Dick Heckstall-Smith]], [[Andy Fraser]], [[Johnny Almond]], [[Walter Trout]], [[Coco Montoya]] and [[Buddy Whittington]].



Navarro performed at [[Woodstock]] as a guitarist with [[Country Joe and the Fish]].

At its conclusion, the video uses the post-modern concept of exposing its own workings, as with a wry expression Henley drives the car away from a rear projection screen.

Proof of the Man

Munesue starts to suspect that Kyoko knows more than she is letting on. He travels to New York to find out more about the dead man. There he is partnered with an American detective, played by George Kennedy, who seems to be the same man who killed Munesue's father. Munesue finds that the young man is the son of a black American soldier and a Japanese woman. He also finds Yasugi's son, who deliberately provokes George Kennedy into shooting him dead. Munesue returns to Japan and begins to suspect Kyoko. He travels to a resort and discovers that Kyoko was a prostitute in the years after the war. Finally he has enough evidence and confronts Kyoko that the black man was her son, and she killed him to protect her reputation. Kyoko commits suicide. In America, George Kennedy goes looking for the black man's father and finds he is dead. Then George Kennedy is stabbed and dies.

A memorable incident occurred during a televised World Championship Match against Dennis Taylor at the Crucible. Werbeniuk attempted to stretch across the table, but due to his size was having some difficulty. Eventually, the inevitable happened and he split his trousers. The ripping noise it made caused many in the audience, including his opponent, to laugh out loud. Werbeniuk took it in good humour, asking the audience "who did that?" as if insinuating that the noise was attributed to flatulence.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_G._Bilbo

His funeral at Juniper Grove Cemetery[33] in Poplarville was attended by 5,000 mourners, including the governor and the junior senator. A bronze statue of Bilbo was placed in the rotunda of the Mississippi State Capitol building. It was relocated to another room, which is now frequently used by the Legislative Black Caucus. Some of the members use the statue's outstretched arm as a coat rack.[34]

This is possibly more funny than unusual

Andy Duncan's short story, "Senator Bilbo," which appears in the collection, Seekers of Dreams (2005), edited by Douglas A. Anderson, takes the coincidence of Bilbo sharing a name with J. R. R. Tolkien's character as an excuse to imagine racial segregation in Tolkien's fictional village of Hobbiton.
