Not exactly accurate, unclear if it was murder accident or suicide. And he knew his invention was world changing.

There is a game in Thailand called Sepak Takraw, which you can see played a lot in parks and in villages. Kind of like volleyball but can only use your feet. I tried once, and only once!! LOL Quite difficult.

I've never tried it. I guess I'll never know whether I have a latent talent for it, which might have propelled me to international stardom. The road not taken.

The comparison of Earth vs Jupiter is worse. Should we no longer call Earth a planet?

True! But yeah, Earth is a planet.

IMO, Earth is a planet.

[Doctor Phibes]

Maybe we should stop calling Jupiter a planet. It doesn't matter, anyway, as it can't hear us.

Fucking Jupiter, what an asshole. We should just stop calling it at all.

@kluurs That was interesting, but it sounded like a computer voice doing the commentary. Wish they would have used a real person,
