I think because it's meant to go along with their article, not to be watched on it's own.

The details are pretty amazing though.

"The most impressive feat of strength comes from a ground bot nicknamed μTug. Although it weighs just 12 grams, it can drag a weight that's 2000 times heavier – "the same as you pulling around a blue whale", explains David Christensen – who is in the same lab."

The part that they play is basically when the guy was working for a restaurant. The cook needed 20 pans to cook rice in, but they were apparently so filthy the only way to clean them was to lay them in seawater. So he sent this guy down at low tide to put them in, not thinking that when the tide rose the pans would be gone.

Then in the morning he sent the guy back out to get the pans, but the tide had risen so he only found one. The cook got pissed and said that it was coming out of the guys pay, then sent him to another city to get pans from another restaurant. The guy, whom by the way is nicknamed Giggles, hopped on a bus and never came back.

My sister-in-law used to fly these and flew missions in Afghanistan (maybe Iraq, I forget). The plane's nickname is the "Bone" (originally from B-One). Their pilots are called Bone Drivers. She never called herself that at family get-togethers though, for some reason.

I actually thought, due to the timing that i first heard the nickname used, that it might be a reference to an anime called Evangelion 2.0 (or 2.22; as the release dates for everything lined up correctly, or at least I "thought" they did).

But, from what I learned later, he has been called that since his High School days. Although the "Beast Quake" was awesome. Anytime you create a football play awesome enough that you can get the fans riled up enough that an Earthquake Monitoring Station nearby picks it up (as an earthquake) is absolutely awesome and hilarious.

But, everyone is right. Even though he isn't doing anything *sort of* at these interviews, he is actually helping to generate publicity; because these interviews usually end up being far better than the status quo norm, that can cause people to fall asleep while standing at home (because they ask the same question over and over again, just with a different noun and verb...).

As far as I know, this is actually normal for a dominant male red kangaroo. The alpha male of each mob gets breeding rights with the females can get enormous in size.
They're nicknamed 'boomers' for a reason.

I love a good carpet chewer (Teppichfresser) story, Don't know if the nickname only applies in particular situation ,but i sure do like it.

Got an idea for a new nickname for him.

Bill Bielzibub!

And that's how she got the nickname "Madam Butterfly".

Dysphoria goes way beyond that. I still enjoy boy things. If you want to call them boy things. That's one issue there: we gender activities and clothing needlessly.

Instead, it's a matter of your body being completely and utterly wrong. To the point where looking in the mirror is a nightmare to be avoided. Absolutely no pictures. For the longest time I couldn't even recognize myself in a photo without trying. It didn't come naturally for me like it did with other people. That picture just *wasn't* me. It was *wrong*.

So yeah, in his case, being a tomboy and being transgender are completely different places on the spectrum. A tomboy doesn't feel pain over their appearance the way a transgender would. I remember first finding out that boys and girls actually had different parts. I wished every night that it would fix itself, until finally, at age 11, I resolved to remove it myself. I didn't succeed, but the scars still exist.

Additionally, the "he" and "she" parts are painful. It's the same as if someone picked a mean nickname for you and refused to ever acknowledge your real name, but insisted on calling you by the offending one instead. It's our identity. It's part of the core of who we are, and by ignoring that, you ignore us. You ignore one of the most fundamental things that makes us who we are.

You'd be surprised just how much kids ages 3-4 understand gender identity and roles. I mean, most of our childhood is learning societal roles we play, and kids really pick up on that. So when a transgender kid sees other girls being treated one way, and they're being treated like the boys, or vice versa in this boys case, it's demoralizing beyond understanding as a 4 year old.



I don't mean to rant at you, but I hope that helps you understand why it's different for us. Oh, and I also didn't go into the science of it. But strictly speaking, our brains are different. Chemically, and even physically, we exhibit the sex characteristics of the gender we identify with. Even the hormones our body produces naturally due to our natal sex causes great discomfort and pain until they are eliminated. Even minor doses can go a long way to eliminating the physical pain we feel.

LOL, is that the explanation behind your nickname?

Rock. On.
