We talked comics and he pointed me to Toonami Arsenal and showed me a strange image. Apparently, there are a bunch of new Clydes aboard the new Absolution. Instead of being custodial like the previous Clydes, they're more or less playful little emoticon-showing robots, almost in the tradition of Clyde49, the original mascot of Toonami. There's a video of their exploits at The Arsenal. I would post a direct link here, but Tyler would kick my butt (don't want to mess with the precious).

You know, Dragon Ball Z is in permanent rerun mode on the block that made it popular (we call it Neglected, I mean Toonami). However, the comic series is still going strong in Shonen Jump, a great little anthology with manga like One Piece, Naruto, Shaman King, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Yu-Gi-Oh, Did you ever wonder where Toriyama-san got the inspiration to create the popular franchise in the first place? Well, let me tell you about The Monkey King. Long time ago . . . wait, no! There's no room to talk about the store in the watchspace. This space is too small, so, I'll share the history in this article.

Not much else to say that isn't said elsewhere in volumes, so I'd leave you with this thought. 99% of all DNA in the human race is identical. It's that other one percent that makes us freaks, geeks, and weirdoes. That one percent makes us human.
