Why did they ever name a song contest Euro-VISION?
|
|
|
|
|
Because it had been organised by the European Broadcasting Union whose television network it was to be broadcast on was nicknamed Eurovision.
I don't know why I know that.

Do check out the Polish contribution, fast forward about one minute, and don't forget to shut the sound. The music is hideous.

....go and grab some kids crayons and start carving.
Here is the benchmark! Carved Crayons by Hoang Tran[^]
I couldn't draw those characters, never mind carve them!

This is great ! 
The crayons of my kids have a much tougher life, sooner or later they end up smashed on the ground or inadvertently stepped on. Which also mean a 30min cleaning of the floor, the pigments are quite good in these.

TBH Crayola are quite good and are 'non-stain'; for a given value of stain.
|
|

I meant Crayola. Try and step on a pink-fushia-mauve-prune-whatever-the-name piece of crayola on a floor tile, the small pigments fill out the porosities of the tile, and this one hell of a cleaning.

If it's a real tile floor, then try Acetone: 100% if you can get it, nail varnish remover if you can't. It's a very good degreaser and my DefCon 4 of greasy-nasty removal. Trichloroethane is DefCon 1 since it was banned twenty years or so ago, just because it's narcotic and can destroy your liver... My small bottle is used sparingly, since I can't replace it.

Only at special parties and round anniversaries, you mean?

Just wondering why only India and China forum exists under Non-English Language section? I am sure there are many other non english languages?
Is it based on stats on membership i.e. where the majority people are from, in this site?

Yeah, and around this place, I'm sure that American and Australian are at the top of the list...

As for the Indian forum, it's probably based on the fact that most westeners (except maybe for you British) don't care to see multiple daily posts in the Lounge about cricket... 
[EDIT] Before the majority of the Indian members here downvote me for being racist, please take time to enjoy the JOKE icon at the top of the post! [/EDIT]

It's not the down votes you need to worry about; it's the people angry enough to try and kill your account with abuse flags.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I know. But I only meant it as joke - not as abuse against anybody. Just wanted to make that clear from the start...
