the best one left out of this list, was the name "mario" a character everyone knows and will not forget. when the original game came out with "mario" facing off against donkey kong he was called "jumpman" eventually nintendo had a problem with a man named Mario segal[sp?] involving money of course. so they decided to name the character mario. gotta love nintendo.

Fail on the translation of "hulu" in Indonesian (and to a closer extent Malay). It does not literally mean 'butt' as in the physical human backside or bum.

It means 'end'. Like 'hulu pedang' means 'the end (a.k.a the hilt) of a sword'.

So hulu isn't popular in indonesia because of it's name, but more because we can't use it over here (F you broadcast laws).

I've always wondered how the words "All" and "Most"
came to mean a close call (Almost).

"proves everything a teacher tells you, that is not in the ciriculum, is wrong"

I spent the past 6 years of my life thinking/actually telling people that kiwis were a crossbreed of strawberries and bananas, thanks to an assclown teacher like that.

I've wondered what wiki meant for the looooongest time, but have been always too lazy to look it up. Thank you, once again, for doing the dirty work, IAB.

I think the wii was originally going to be named the "Nintendo Revoultion" instead of "Nintendo Wii". Interesting stuff though!

i knew prius. 3 years of latin were not in vain!

though i think i'd rather have not known if it meant i didnt have to do latin for those dark, depressing years.

I saw an ironic thing involving a Prius yesturday. I was driving behind one, and they threw an empty two-liter bottle on the road. Get it?

And the concept for the Wii's name is pretty cool, but I think they should've stuck with "Revolution"

Does anybody else start cracking up every time they see a Prius?

Jeff Dunham FTW!
