  1. Kongu Inika was fun to play with, but what really disapointed me was how his joints started to crack a few years after his purchase.

     

    To me, the two Hordika I owned were a bit awkwardly designed. Still, I didn't find them to be bad.

     

    Squid launchers were a pain to use since they often didn't actually fly out of the piece.

  2. Aiden Gillen, who played the CIA Agent in "The Dark Knight Rises", is actually taller than Tom Hardy, who played Bane. Still, he calls Bane a "big guy".

     

     

    Why is it that the word "bass" (long 'a') when referring to music is pronounced differently than a "bass" (short 'a') fish?

     

    Well, the long 'a' "bass" comes from the Latin 'basus', meaning 'low' or 'down'. The short 'a' bass comes from some Italian word. They have totally different roots, but when they were incorporated into English, some letters were dropped, leaving only 'bass' in both words.

     

    Dang, finally explained.
