On some days, I seem unable to keep my train of thought on a single topic. Today is one of those days. Yay for incoherence!

Last night, I saw this clip from the French version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? The French Regis asked this old guy a simple question.

Q. What revolves around the Earth?

Easy enough, right? Uh....

And they gave him 1,500 euros? WHY???

The old Frenchie was stupid enough, but what's with the studio audience? When the confused man asked them for help, 56% voted for B: The Sun! They couldn't have been serious, right? They were either very mean or very stupid. And to think that many French people fancy themselves as intellectuals....

Here's a plausible explanation: the stupid old Frenchman and half the audience may have been infected with Toxoplasmosis. France has a very high prevalence of the parasitic disease, which according to some recent studies makes women promiscuous (Yay!) and men stupid (The sun goes around the earth! Yay!). The parasite is commonly found in cat poop. That's another reason why men should stay the hell away from cats and why guys who like Hello Kitty are stupid. Speaking of cat poop and Hello Kitty....

Yay! Pooping Hello Kitty!

This reminds me.... Today is the birthday of the world's #1 Hello Kitty fan. Happy birthday Tiffy! Of course, today is also the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attack. So tell us, Tiffy, what is it like to have a major news event happen on your birthday?

Wait, I should know. On my third birthday, popular Filipino opposition leader Ninoy Aquino was gunned down at the Manila International Airport as he returned from exile. Three years later, his wife became the president of the country, and I had spent quite a few birthdays since then watching Ninoy tributes on TV, which of course feature endless video loops of him lying dead on the airport tarmac.

Maybe the white suit wasn't such a great idea. It could be tough to get those bloodstains out, heh.

Whoa, I've strayed pretty far from my original topic, haven't I? The right thing for me to do now would be to somehow link this back to the French game show clip, end with a good punchline, and salvage a semblance of coherence. But how? Hmm....

Oh, I know! The French assassinated Ninoy Aquino! Nah, that doesn't work. If they're not smart enough to know that the moon goes around the earth, there's really no chance that they can even spot the Philippines on a map, right? So... I've got nothing.

Poop.
