  1. Just saw something that reminds me, I should do a PSA about this:

    The word for Japanese ritual disembowelment is hara-kiri. Two A's in the first word, two I's in the second: hArA kIrI.

    They don't rhyme. It's NOT "harry carry". The second part sounds like Joe Keery's surname.

    Just had to tell the world, because it's a pet peeve of mine. Boosts welcome.
