    It is called King Nyani. It was delivered to Brookfield Zoo in 2021 after spending a year on display at Hudson Yards in New York (USA). There are two others, one at the Brice Museum in Connecticut (USA) and one at Taronga Zoo in Sydney (Australia).

    the Cow was the Dish of the Day at Milliways, which arrived when Zaphod Beeblebrox (accompanied by Arthur, Ford, and Trillian) requested to ‘meet the meat’. It was described as a large dairy animal, a “large fat meaty quadruped of the bovine type.” It was said to have large watery eyes, as well as small horns and what might have been an ingratiating smile on its lips. The creature seems peaceful and at ease, and at one point is described to have “mooed.”

    The creature offers Zaphod and his party his shoulder, braised in a white wine sauce, then goes on to offer other parts of its body, having worked hard to fatten itself up through force-feeding itself for months. Eventually, after Arthur and Trillian have expressed their shock and Ford has expressed his disinterest, Zaphod requests four rare steaks and the Dish of the Day goes off to shoot himself, telling Arthur not to worry, as he says “I’ll be very humane.”[1]


  • If you don’t go into it looking for a challenging and thoughtfully laid out story and just want to be entertained, you will enjoy them. The director wants you to feel like you were in a audience at a magic show by reminding you constantly that while you were looking over here the actual trick was being done over there and if you had paid closer attention you could have pieced the puzzle that was the movie together. Except that of course what we are shown is only the distraction and the trick is only explained later on for the benefit of the story and to make the characters seem extremely intelligent and competent.

    It is a bit tropeish as you know that somehow even when all the cards are down (is this a pun as we are talking about magicians?) they will somehow pull it off in the end and be successful.

    Think the Ocean’s 11 series of movies with magicians.




  • Tidal uses FLAC codec which is vastly superior to YTM’s AAC. YTM takes the lead in quantity of content with all sorts of remixes and other music being uploaded daily. I would say it will all depend on what kind of equipment you are going to use to listen to the music on and if it will allow you to hear the difference in the two services offerings.









  • You arrive to desolate and wonderfully silent Antarctica.

    For a time you are alone and happy in your isolation. Soon enough, thoughts start to slowly infiltrate your sleep and later your waking world. You can’t understand them. They are weird and very distressing. Over time you are having difficulty thinking clearly. You want to run but you cannot. You want to scream but you cannot for the thoughts are so upsetting. Your days and nights are spent in abject terror as you feel your mind slipping. Your essential nature being pulled away from you. Even more frightening is that you are starting to understand and interpret images, thoughts, and ideas, but they are so… Alien.

    From the aliens.

    The aliens that long ago crashed here on earth. To keep themselves alive they merged themselves with their spacecraft in an unholy combination of life and technology. They have been trapped by time, buried under the ice, waiting. Slowly the machine intelligence has been corrupted, the living minds fractured and the remaining combined intelligence is insane, mavolent, and hungry for new thoughts and ideas. Your mind is but the first. Your arrival has awoken them from a deep slumber. The ice that has kept them from humanity is melting.

    You, (are you a individual any longer?) hunger with them for thoughts that are not your own.
