Frack!

The characters on Battlestar Galactica use the word Frack instead of the usual other four-letter word. I guess this is how they can swear and still get by the censors.

Well, it turns out that Frack is actually a Swedish word. According to an online translator, it means “audacious, shameless, impudent.”

And, of course, IKEA has a product named “FRÄCK” — a bathroom mirror on a folding arm:

In what must be some sort of inside joke among the Galactica cast and crew, this Frack mirror can be found in Adama’s bathroom:

The Question is Moot

Jesse Jackson hosted Saturday Night Live on October 20th, 1984. One of the skits was of a gameshow called “The Question is Moot.” I don’t know why, but I always found it really funny.

A couple of nights ago, my TiVo recorded this episode, so I thought I’d grab this video clip and post it here.

[update!] The youtube clip doesn’t exist anymore, but you can still view the video here:
