It was a fun quiz. Believe me getting #19 wrong hurts my sense of historical pride.

Spoiler :

Nah... I think it was the chest pounding thing as well as what you said with the MadScientist RPC games that probably threw you off. ^_^ No biggie though... you certainly did much better than... **cough** lymond.. **cough** ... Hope he doesn't open the spoiler tag. ^_^

Here's another one...

By an astonishing coincidence, I just saw this posted on another, non-civ related forum, apropos of nothing in particular:

Link to video.

Just...wow.

edit: Untortunately my youtube thingy isn't working. Click the link and be amazed:

That's a horrible video. I've only heard his name pronounced starting with the "J" sound. Are they butchering his name?

 

[lymond]

^^^That's by far the best version of the song...for more than one reason. Just hope those girls are old enough for me to be saying that

Of course, considering that song is about the worst thing in music history, it's not saying much

 

[Mylene]

Ughh, now i have to wash out my ears with some good stuff like this

great movie - interestingly I'm just watching it again - saw it in theatre originally - after DVRing it

With a J sound? I've never heard it pronounced like that.

Well, Genghis is probably the worst thing in world history, so I suppose it's pretty apt.

I had never even heard of this song a couple of days ago, now I have heard it twice.

 

[iggymnrr]

With a J sound? I've never heard it pronounced like that.

Really? Like other "Gen" words: general, genial, genius, generation, gentle etc.

 

[lymond]

I think it's technically pronounced with a "Ch" sound as in cha-cha-cha

 

[iggymnrr]

It might be wiser to go with Temujin. Just pronounce it don't spell it.

That *is* amazing.

Thank god for the internet.

Nope. Perv.

 

[Gwaja]

LOL! I should have linked that Japanese version instead to begin with. ^_^

Anyways, I like the song a lot though.... fun disco song at that.

Those girls are older than you think. ^_^

Anyways, what's so bad about the song? I think it is hilarious... good fun. ^_^

What song?

As an european, I am in complete denial regarding the eurovision... this thing doesn't exist...

 

[Gwaja]

LOL @ RRR. ^_^

Okay... so if you guys had to pick between the Euro version and the Japanese version, which one would you prefer? I can even dig a few for other languages as well, but they aren't as fun.

 

[NihilZero]

I prefer the frolicking jailbait - er, I mean, I prefer the Japanese version.

 

[iggymnrr]

Japanese version! Name sounded better too.

 

[Gwaja]

Those girls are cute. ^_^ One of them kinda reminds me of my sister.
