Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Ok this post is dumb, but since it’s happening again… Here’s who people say I look like. I’ll run down each one. Richard Gere. I had this a few times in the late 80s early 90s. Then I had it more recently. There was a time when people said Richard Gere looked half Japanese, and maybe that’s part of it. Keanu Reeves. I’ve had this one a few times. Twice in a week once. This was in the later 90s. David Arquette. I’ve had this the most, from 2000 and on, since that’s when this dude “made it.” I hear it’s the goofy smile that makes any similarity happen. I’ve had this maybe 8 times. Jason Dohring. I don’t know anything this guy, but he’s in some show I never watch. Veronica Mars. I had this one yesterday. Johnny Carson. Way back, in elementary school, I was told that I looked like Johnny Carson, so much that for a little while, my nickname was “Carson.”

Rochom P’ngiengLost in the jungle or maybe happily doing her thing in the jungle, this is the half animal woman. She’s a miracle she survived the many years in a jungle with no family, no nothing. She’s been lost for almost 2 decades, speaks no language, and “She’s weird. She sleeps during the day and stays up at night.” Image and quote taken from Fox News. Story links here. The weird thing is look at that hand holding the wrist. I see a lot of strain in it. The half animal part might have been thrashing around a lot, but overall, she looks normal. Hope she learns to speak soon, so she can tell her story. Hollywood agents? A future film for you. Reference Rae Dawn Chong in Quest for Fire and Tom Hanks in Castaway. She was found naked, so definitely use Jessica Alba to play the role. The policeman dad will help in the dramatic element, especially with flashbacks. Erik Estrada for sure, but he’s gotta slim down. Add a best friend in the jungle, say James Franco. Things are getting Blue Lagoon in this film depiction. Hope they make it, and give Rochom P’ngieng the red carpet treatment and a lot of cash.

Here’s something that I wonder. Mona Lisa’s Grave found. Here’s the link. (I saw this off of Digg.com by the way.) What bothers me is that why is a grave lost? Even at the end of Gangs of New York, the last scenes show how the graves of Butcher Bill get dilapidated and eventually forgotten. I know it’s a morbid thought, but is that what happens to grave sites? When a few generations roll over, and the over-population of the planet catches up and we need more land for buildings, are the grave sites going to become high rises? Sometimes, they’re in expensive areas and I can see how they’ll need to be “moved” one day… Will that be you? Would you care? My great grandparents are probably buried in Japan, and if you go further back, I’m sure most are lost and forgotten. Is that how it works?
