Don't mess with me! I've got a year and a half of judo, half a year of aikido, another half-year of capoeira lessons, some krav maga tips and six years of surviving on the streets of Warsaw behind me (and I weigh a staggering 120 pounds)!

I think with "the last one", Tuxon was referring to James Lee saying "69"

And now for something completely different:

Een 'tal verkaasde woorden en zegsels
(Voor de Nederlanders onder ons)

Ruilverkazeling

“Hij is echt een houten Kaas”

Kippenkaas

Een porseleinen bloemenkaas

“Vertel mij het rekaas”

Parlementsverkazingen

“Die man heeft geen haar meer over;

hij is volkomen kaas”

Voorbijkazen en zich kaasten
(“Ik zag haar net voorbijkazen;
zij leek erg gekaast”)

“Dat net zit vol kazen”
(of “Dat kippenkaas zit vol kazen”)

“Er is altijd kaas boven kaas”

Een steriel kaasje

“Hij kaast op mijn functie als directeur”

Stomverkaasd

“Wees goed voor je kaasten”

Silly Science: Molecules ()

A sample of pyroxmangite, with white pieces of cummingtonite visible toward the lower left.

Cummingtonite
This mineral must have the silliest name of them all! Its official name is magnesium iron silicate hydroxide, and it has the formula (Mg,Fe)₇Si₈O₂₂(OH)₂. It got its name from the locality where it was first found, Cummington, Massachusetts, USA.

Fukalite
This wonderfully named mineral gets its name from the Fuka mine in the Fuka region of southern Japan. It is very rare, and is a form of calcium silico-carbonate, with formula Ca₄Si₂O₆(CO₃)(OH,F)₂.

Welsh!te
This wonderfully named mineral is called after the US amateur mineralogist Wilfred R. Welsh. Its formula is Ca₂SbMg₄FeBe₂Si₄O₂₀. Some people think it's quite a nice mineral, but others think it's 'well-sh*te'.
