Sweet!

Set was more of the god of chaos (even then that's a bit of an overstatement). He was a foil to Horus and only really got demonized in the later periods. None of the gods had any bringing the dead back to life powers though, once you were done and gone through the ridiculous number of ceremonies to ...

Just like recently within the past year bubble tea has really exploded in popularity. It's partially the Instagram culture that's taken off and partially because a lot of new food culture is coming from Taiwanese/Korean street food. Bubble tea has been booming in Taiwan (apparently? can anyone colla...

Since we're back on our bullshit this week, I'm gonna point out the Sailor Moon references in tribute to our guest star. The most obvious is the red rose/giant moon scene at about 11:35, but if you're really paying attention, you'll notice that the bridge Asuna walks across at about 1:33~ is the sam...

It seems odd saying this, but this feels like the most Eastern philosophy and/or religion-based episode I've seen by far, going far beyond the concept of objects having feelings and deserving respect (which has already been expressed once or twice earlier in the show) and straight into Buddhist all...

Female rabbis do exist in the more reformed sects, and apparently female imams as well though I have to admit ignorance on anything but the bare basics of Islam. The female Buddhist monks tend to be older, I can't say that I've ever seen a young one. Sometimes the Buddhist priests can get married, b...
