From Wikipedia:

Theseus departed for Crete. Upon his departure, Aegeus told him to put up white sails when returning if he was successful in killing the Minotaur. However, when Theseus returned, he forgot these instructions.

When Aegeus saw the black sails coming into Athens, mistaken in his belief that his son had been slain, he killed himself by jumping from a height [...] into the sea which was therefore known as the Aegean Sea.

The guy who made Minotaur is also a metalurgist, so he specifically made strong compounds for the drum and the frame. The hammer may have been effective against some bots, but his Mino's composition was just bouncing that hammer off it's frame.

I'm glad this show came back. =)

Cool. About two months ago I read the story of Theseus and the Minotaur to my 6 and 4 year old boys (we're doing the Odyssey now). For the next month they were just running around the house, one pretending to be Thesius, one pretending to be the Minotaur.

Classic literature rocks.

Let's hope they at least try to honor a decent story line in this movie. I'd want my boys to actually have a decent movie about Theseus to watch when they're older.

The Minotaur was slightly neat. the rest... Fuck off.


If you're just looking at the video I understand your sentiments. However, like I said I'm not a big fan of this type of music - that being said the way in which someone comes up with music is important. I know Videosift is full of music Ignoramuses, but these guys use circuit bent toys as well as completely analog drum machines & synths to make their fully original "mutant" sound. They were signed to a "larger" underground electronic label, toured Europe for years and were pretty influential with movers and shakers of all sorts. If you can't hear it - that's fine, maybe there's something wrong with you, maybe you're completely normal. or maybe right now is just not the right time for you to understand.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

This is old news. Everyone knows that the gay eagle minotaur demo scene is huge in Japan right now.

"Even if the minotaur did act inappropriately, and I'm not saying it did, the United States cannot be held responsible for its actions because it is a beastly minotaur and no chains can bind it!"

"And you know, frankly, I think it's sad that now the words "neverending labyrinth of pain" are synonymous with the errors made by one loose cannon minotaur who, yeah, admittedly, went too far."

These two lines were just too much for me. They brought tears of laughter.

Sure, I can imagine a wonderful privately run national school system. I can also imagine unicorns and the Yeti.
There are always fanciful dreams of utopian deregulated futures, but they never pan out when future becomes today. After California's disastrous deregulation of energy, you'd be insane to think that deregulation of education is a good idea. It would be awesome to have the Minotaur as a history professor or the Griffin for Phys. Ed, but I'd just assume not gamble education on unrealistic flights of fancy.


Now you're just being childish. I, too, can imagine a world where people believed their big brother government would take care of them from cradle to grave because that cwuddly-wuddly gwuvenment wuvs you and wants you to be safy-wafy.

Education is too important to deregulate.

HA! What? Didn't you see the Minotaur branch of the super-evolution tree?
