Nice. I’ve never really wanted anything for Christmas before…Hint’hint’nudge’nudge:
A fireteam heads out on an epic, action-packed road trip across our Solar System to face our enemies, take back what is ours and, in the end, Become Legend. Featuring “Immigrant Song” by Led Zeppelin.
…I can’t explain this. Chicken probably taste better in Gisborne?
This is clucken weird, but it could be worse I guess.
Learn to cook Gisborne, you’re embarrassing all of us with your hunger pains!
Education is good, learning can be fun, and the price for all of it, meh, that’s something to worry about later in life, if you can help it:
‘The Idiot’s Guide to Smart People is a web series that jokingly claims to offer, “practical advice to idiots perplexed by the behavior of obnoxious intellectuals.
‘Last Week Tonight looks at student debts in the US, where some for-profit schools spend more on marketing than on their teachers and avoid government restrictions through loopholes and lobbying.
So, whatever your reason is for pursuing further study, I think the one crucial thing to be learnt and taken away from any and all educational institutions is this — enjoyment.
Of course hard work is also apart of it, but that’s some reverse-psychology crap you need not worry yourself about right now I’m pretty kind-of sure. Things are good. I happen to be a student myself, thank you very much (…ahh crap!)

And I’ll just leave this cool video here because it happens to be one of my all time favourites on YouTube (think top 20 like):
Yes, you are looking at a fish that appears to be spitting light and yes, it is completely amazing, like underwater fireworks, or fish lasers:
…However! The truth is far more fascinating…
What you’re seeing is the defense mechanism of a tiny crustacean called an ostracod, a shrimp-like organism about 1mm in size that some fish accidentally eat while hunting for plankton. When eaten by a 
translucent cardinalfish, the ostracod immediately releases a bioluminescent chemical in an attempt to illuminate the fish from the inside, making it immediately identifiable to predators. Not wanting to be eaten, the cardinalfish immediately spits out the ostracod, resulting in little underwater fish fireworks. THAT’S CRAZY!

Robin Williams was a gamer, so much so that he even named his daughter, Zelda:
After a petition on change.org, Blizzard Entertainment agreed to immortalize Robin Williams as a WoW character. Here is his NPC tribute, a genie named ‘Robin’, found in the massively multiplayer online role-playing game; Warlord Of Draenor expansion beta.
It is extremely short, and currently still a beta, but a nice gesture nevertheless. Here’s a glimpse of his NPC in-game:

While vacationing with his wife Linda, Philip McNamara was on a boat off the coast of Papua New Guinea filming Mount Tavurvur in the distance when the volcano exploded, sending up a plume of ash and smoke. With the striking burst of air above the volcano and the jarring boom of the delayed shockwave, this video captured the initial eruption:
