Mystery fonts in the Pokemon anime They appear on portable video recorder menus, shop signs, advertisments etc. Has anybody been able to match those Pokemon fonts to any language (current or dead) in our world? AFAIK, those fonts don't look like Thai, Tamil or Kanji fonts.

That reminds me of mob justice.

* What is the biggest way, radio-wise, that you take in music? FM radio for me. I usually tune in to the symphony channel. * Is this radio the way you listen to music the most? No. I listen to CDs and mp3s more often than FM radio (and I get to choose which specific song I want). * Do you...

Close but not on the same day. Hitler died on April 30th.

I'm reminded of the scene in Pokemon: Mewtwo Returns when Mewtwo walks into the clasp of Team Rocket to save his pals.

Probably, since many of us are too used to watching HD quality movies. According to Wikipedia, The Archers is a VERY long radio serial(16,000++ episodes) wow. The first radio drama I remember listening to was Geroge Orwell's 1984, which was captivating from beginning to end, and I found 'no...

Pakistan being a Muslim state and having a Muslim government, I'm not surprised that they secretly helped Osama. Osama's hideout actually was near a Pakistani military academy! They're attempting only a half-hearted fight against terrorism. I know many people are cheering Osama's death. I'd...

Life without a phone and Internet must've very inconvenient for Osama. No Youtube, no online shopping, etc. He had to use human couriers to send and receive messages because he couldn't call/email without getting traced. Maybe. But he would've to be really careful each time he made a call or...

I believe life exists in other parts of the Universe. It may or may not take the form of a human, but it's still (probably intelligent) life. The Universe is just so big and there are so many other solar systems out there (many of them out of range of our best telescopes) and some of them can...

Almost 10 years after the atrocities in New York and Washington DC, Osama Bin Laden is finally dead. But I was also wondering if the US army killed only a double/stand-in and not the real Bin Laden. This reminds me of the most dangerous hiding place is the safest hiding place. Few people would...

I heard that in some countries, if you buy something from overseas and have it shipped to your house, you'll be charged duties or taxes (a certain percentage of the price of the goods and shipping). I'm from Singapore, and there's a 7% GST charge on items from overseas worth more than approx...

It was actually nominated for an Academy Award but lost to Howl's Moving Castle.
