I'm a bit perplexed as to why their individual profiles feature their blood types.

Mmm - surprising.

Not quite as unlikely (or as awful) as <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/FONt47Z0KZg&rel=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/FONt47Z0KZg&rel=1</a>

That's just cruel, the narrowing of the screen makes it look like Celine has a long face. Very brave of her to go head to head with Anastacia in a belt-fest.

It is a bit "interesting".  I'm not sure if I like it or not!  The Celine Dion thing is just a bit "meh".

The narrowing of the screen seems to be a YouTube thing, I've seen it on several videos, I assume it's caused in the conversion from some type of video.

How odd.

"Almost all Japanese know their blood group, and if a foreigner is asked and doesn't know his or her group, it will likely be believed that they really do know it but are ashamed of it."

I haven't got a clue what my blood type is, but then again, I don't particularly care.  If someone is dopey enough to think that something like this has a significant effect on my character, then I probably won't care that they have that opinion of me, or indeed care to have much to do with them.

(Likewise for western zodiacal sign, Chinese/Japanese sign etc)

This was quite startling when I first heard it.  Somewhat annoying plus really annoying = quite funny:

I meant in the context of this thread, ie music, or what he thinks passes for that.  Having said which, I dislike legal dramas, so you're not helping the case. ;D

Not my find but surely a knockout winner. Maybe Kurt saw it coming.

His version of Come as You Are is superb!

I have a Delgados album and I was quite surprised to hear a version of ELO's Mr Blue Sky.

Speaking of Heaven17, I vaguely recall a BEF album of cover versions. (Music of Quality and Distinction) Most notable track was Gary Glitter and/or The Glitter Band covering Suspicious Minds.

#We're caught in a trap
#HEY!
#I can't walk out

etc etc.

Great stuff.
