No, no, facts like these are absolutely fascinating; I could quote them to my girfriend (if I had one).

We should adopt the same unbiased voting system for Lounge posts :
Griff - 12 points (because he has to win)
Nagy - 10 points (because he threatened)
Dave - 8 points (because he gave me 10 last time)
...
Carlo - 1 point (because we all decided to ignore Italy again)
Rage - No point (because is France ever gonna bring something making sense again ?)

I detect a touch of bias there - but I'll break the rules for you!
It's tempting to suggest that I should be entered as an act for Eurovision next year: with my negative singing abilities future events would be cancelled forthwith just in case I was entered again...

You'd be better than at least the 20 last French contestants.

Only if they cleared the hall in the first 20 seconds after starting to "sing"...

Why did they ever name a song contest Euro-VISION?
|
|
|
|
|
Because it had been organised by the European Broadcasting Union whose television network it was to be broadcast on was nicknamed Eurovision.
I don't know why I know that.

Do check out the Polish contribution, fast forward about one minute, and don't forget to shut the sound. The music is hideous.

....go and grab some kids crayons and start carving.
Here is the benchmark! Carved Crayons by Hoang Tran[^]
I couldn't draw those characters, never mind carve them!

This is great !
The crayons of my kids have a much tougher life, sooner or later they end up smashed on the ground or inadvertently stepped on. Which also mean a 30min cleaning of the floor, the pigments are quite good in these.

TBH Crayola are quite good and are 'non-stain'; for a given value of stain.
|
|

I meant Crayola. Try and step on a pink-fushia-mauve-prune-whatever-the-name piece of crayola on a floor tile, the small pigments fill out the porosities of the tile, and this one hell of a cleaning.
