Saturday Focus Poll - January 17th

New Weekend, New Poll!

Updates for Desolation will be coming this week. Last week, unfortunately, had me a bit preoccupied with some in-real life matters.

You really forget how time-intensive the early stages of new relationship can be after you've not been in a relationship for a while. Well, that and you tend to forget you are in a relationship at all. That moment when you go 'wait a minute, I'm not single anymore!' is always a bit like George Bailey getting confused by the phone call from Mrs. Bailey, and being told its his wife, not his mother.

...If you get that reference, you're a real one.

Don't forget to drink water!

Stay Hydrated!

Today's Trivia:

Fun Fact! January 17th, today, is the birthday of the character, Capon Bege, from One Piece.

Double Fun Fact! Nominative determinism is the concept that people tend to gravitate towards areas of work or interest that fit their names. Most popular of which, being Usain Bolt as the (former) World's Fastest Man.

I used to believe every character in One Piece had a reason their names were chosen. Silvers Rayleigh, for instance, is most likely named after the phenomenon of Rayleigh Scattering, the deflection of light, as he ends up being the first character we see battling the Logia Light user.

I had in fact believed this right up until just two days ago, where I found an SBS conducted by Oda in which he admits he sometimes chooses names because he likes the sound of them, not because they have some special meaning.

Thus, I admittedly feel like an idiot, thinking there was a hidden easter egg and spending time reading Don Quixote to try and grasp a connection between the character and book...

Only to realize that the name may have been selected just because the creator thought it sounded cool.

...Fun Fact!
