KoiceReloaded: Best thing about that show was the soundtracks. They had a very positive impact on my music library. Else, how would I have known about Carry On My Wayward Son by Kansas, Bad Moon Rising by Clear Water Revival, Heat of The Moment by Asia, Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd, Changes by Bowie, Wanted Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi, Somebody to Love by Queen, House of the Rising Sun by the Animals, etc.
It got to a point that I started to watch it mainly for the premium soundtracks, rather than the plot lines, which as a matter-of-fact, got very repetitive post season 5. Unfortunately at season 8, I had to finally call it quits, cuz even though the soundtracks still remain the high point of the show, they weren't enough to keep me invested, for I couldn't stomach the repetitive plot lines any longer. You forgot to add "O Death" by Ralph Stanley. Some of the Classical pieces were cool. But so much urban rock which till now I don't know why Americans fancy their native rock tracks. |

SUPERNATURAL. First few seasons were awesome. Loved the idea of a TV based on biblical tales. But character build up is poor. Sam and Dean never gets to die permanently. Always a miraculous resurrection, very boring. The impala (outdated). Playlist (outdated) |

Education › The Zebra's Puzzle by Brukx(op): 8:22pm On Jun 09, 2019 |
This is the Zebra's Puzzle. Most logical challenge I have ever encountered. Some call it the Einstein's puzzle but there is no proof that Einstein actually pioneered the publishing of this brain exercise. Have fun figuring it out. The solution is on wiki
1.There are five houses.
2.The Englishman lives in the red house.
3.The Spaniard owns the dog.
4.Coffee is drunk in the green house.
5.The Ukrainian drinks tea.
6.The green house is immediately to the right of the ivory house.
7.The Old Gold smoker owns snails.
8.Kools are smoked in the yellow house.
9.Milk is drunk in the middle house.
10.The Norwegian lives in the first house.
11.The man who smokes Chesterfields lives in the house next to the man with the fox.
12.Kools are smoked in the house next to the house where the horse is kept.
13.The Lucky Strike smoker drinks orange juice.
14.The Japanese smokes Parliaments.
15.The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
Now, who drinks water? Who owns the zebra?
In the interest of clarity, it must be added that each of the five houses is painted a different color, and their inhabitants are of different national extractions, own different pets, drink different beverages and smoke different brands of American cigarets .
One other thing: in statement 6, right means your right |

Silver1996: KINGS(BOOK 2
50 YEARS AGO..
Where it all began....
"YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM ME ALUZIYA... "LUDIBA SAID AS HE TIPTOED INTO THE UNKEPT HUT... He scan his eyes around, there was nothing but grass and torn clothes in the hut.., he sigh when he realise his sister wasn't there...
He step outside and gaze at the sun.., he bug his Lips and look round the premises.., the trees, he felt his sister might be hiding behind one of those tall trees....
"Aluziya.. "He shouted but other than the echo of his voice..,nothing was heard nor seen..
He went forward barefooted....., it was tradition that until a boy turns 20, he isn't fit to wear shoes that was made of leaves and branches of trees...
Ludiba was 19, one more year and he will be confirmed into wearing shoes....
"Aluziya.. "He shouted again, this time more loud than before..
He was inclined to go back when he got no reply, maybe his sister didn't come this way...
He changed his mind when he said footsteps from nearby, it quickly occurred to him that his sister might be hiding behind one of those tall trees as he earlier thought...
With curiousness, he trot forward, his barefooted legs brushing the thick grasses that were turning into a wide range of bush..
"Aluziya, i can hear you..."He said walking more faster... He grimace when he hit his leg against a stone.., he quickly lour down to look at his injured leg.., just then he saw something, a book, a book he has never seen before..., it was rough.., grasses littered all over it.., he pick it, he look at it wondering what it was or what it says.., he flip the pages... He scan the sides with his eyes..
"What is this..? He ask quietly..
He pick it up, look at the pages again, he wanted to drop it but then on second thought..., the book was something he hasn't seen before...
With inquisitiveness.., he pick it up and held it in his hands...
"Brother.. "
He quickly turn around and there she was.., his beloved younger sister... Aluziya....
"Where did you hide...? He asked
"I was in the hut..., i covered myself with those old rags.., i thought you would see me but you didn't.. I won.. "
He chuckle.. "No you didn't.. "
Aluziya gave him an eye shot.., then her eyes glance over to the book in his hands..."What's that in your hand..?
"Oh this..., i don't know, i found it here.. "
"Let me see.. "She said walking towards him.. Together, they opened the book..
"What does it say..? She ask curiously..
"I don't know, i don't understand the language.. "
"Do you think we should take it to grandfather.., he has lived longer than any of us.., he might know what this say... "
"Grandfather is sick..,he can't even look at his own self let alone this.. "
"Grandfather love this things.., besides am curious to know what is written in this big strange book.. "
Ludiba grunts..., he knew his sister will continue to insist... "Okay fine.. "
***************** It wasn't long before they got home.., avoiding their parent, they went straight to where their grandfather was sitting...
"Grandfather... "Aluziya called out softly...
Azodukala the grandfather gently opened his eyes..
"Grandfather, we have something for you.."
Ludiba hesitated a bit before giving her the book... ,covering his nose because of the odour protruding from the grandfather's body... It was said that ogini struck the grandfather with that illness because he forgot to perform the ekusadu ritual of a newly born baby...
It was foretold that Azodukala couldn't sacrifice Aluziya.., because of this, the illness has been in his body.., no one dared to question the dark priestess of ogini...
Aluziya helped him up as he tried to stand up....
"What is it my child..? He ask dryly
Aluziya smiled,."We found something...."She said, slowly she placed the book in his hand..
As soon as the grandfather held the book, he felt something..., The dry scales growing in his skin began to pull off, he quickly received his strength as he was made whole...
Shocked.., he threw the book down..
"Grandfather.. "Aluziya muttered... "You're healed.. "
Shocked etched in Ludiba's face.., he stare at the book... "The book..., it healed you... "
******************* "Priestess... "One of the low priestess shouted..
The dark priestess spun round to face her.....
"Something has happened... "The low priestess said.. The dark priestess quickly stood up and walked into the large shrine of ogini...
Fear gripped her when she saw blood flowing down from one of the scary skulls....
"Strange.. "She said picking up the skull... "This can only happen when a chain is broken..., someone has escaped ogini's wrath.... "
"Priestess, is that possible..?
The dark priestess gave her a deadly look... "Send a message to the king... Someone has broken loose..., i need to know who that person is and who set him free... Ogini must be appeased.., only then will there be peace..... ,ogini has shed blood.., blood must be given back.. "
FOR THE NIGHT IS DARK AND FULL OF HORRORS........
WAR IS COMING....
Story officially starting on April 8...guys please bear with me till then... Ludiba and aluziya? For the night is dark and full of horrors? I'm not going into conclusions yet. Let me continue reading KINGS |

Germannig: Keep consoling yourself. Some High Schools ( = Secondary Schools in Nigeria) in America are better equipped than some PhD programs in Nigeria. They teach AI and Robotics in Elementary Schools in America. As far as I know (and please correct me with facts if I am wrong), there is no Robotics PhD holder (let alone MS or BS) solely from a NIGERIAN university Is that so? AI in high school  |

Arya matched Brienne during a training spar. Brienne is Arguably one of the toughest swordsman in GOT. Arya killed the night king. I've given Arya's Stats. Now tell us what Yara can do |

Buharifanatic: how many times has Sansa stayed at the north?
Why are u guys Lying to yourselves
Sansa just wanted to be a queen, had nothing to do with the north Independence
She almost fought Jon when he was named king in the north
Like som1 said we don't know who sansa bleeped but she didn't deserve that ending, she has been useless all Thru the show
Like they wanted to reward useless people with the efforts of those that worked hard Bran was key to killing the night king. He was used as bait in luring him out. And as for Sansa I agree with you. She was useless to the core. The only thing I like about her is her pointed nose. Sansa no bleep anybody. Its natural for novelist, scriptwriters to favour a particular character. In this case it was the Starks. |

Olamyyde: Nobody's talking about how arya suddenly changed careers from badass assassin to being a pirate  Arya is no assassin. She only killed those who took her loved ones away from her |
TV/Movies › Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by Brukx(m): 7:35pm On May 20, 2019 |
nihilistjnr: It's also a stupid thing to say because
1. The north already bent the knee
2. Bran is the Lord of Winterfell - he is of the north. He is even more legit than Sansa. So why would northerners kneel for Sansa but refuse to kneel to Bran? It makes no sense
3. Who is Sansa to speak for the othet houses of the north? What has she ever done? Good point. But remember Bran is now the 3 eyed Raven. Since he started seeing visions he no longer acted like he was from the North. He kinda became neutral |

chiboy1116: point of correction , dany isn't the biggest character . There's tyrion , cercei, Jon , Arya . You forgot to add the Night King. He is a character too. Even Joffery, Ramsey Bolton. These are characters that gave us Joy. Danny was as boring as F. In the first few seasons and he had very little TV time. Until later episodes she started gaining prominence. |
TV/Movies › Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by Brukx(m): 6:11am On May 20, 2019 |
lahizak: Actually the last episode is epic. Even tho i believe that dany deserved a more noble death dan be stabbed by Jon. But the ending was right. Jon cant be king. Kudos to the writers, they ended the show in an epic way We have the same thought that it's an epic ending. Danny deserved to die sha. What more noble way could it have occurred? |
TV/Movies › Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by Brukx(m): 5:35am On May 20, 2019 |
vizkiz: Fück the writers and producers... burn fück them all...
So why was Jon raised from fhe dead as the prince who was promised only to be Jamie lannister's school boy? (king queen slayer)
How did Sansa end up being queen after giving that bullshìt speech about the North bring independent? I thought she wanted no ruler in the north. Tricky bìtch (she has always wanted to be a queen right from season 1, episode 1)
So you are telling me Danny was just a pawn to be used for everyone's advantage? Her falling in love with Jon brought about her doom... She should have let the man die in season 7 (instead of saving him from the white walkers and losing a dragon).
Bran knew he was Jon be king (he replied "why do you think I came all the way" to tyrion after the selection. This means he can see the future). so why did he tell Jon about his true heritage if he knew that was go'n cause an emotional rift between him (Jon) and Danny? (which actually led to the massacre and Danny's death).
If Jon didn't know about his heritage, nobody wouldn't have conspired against Danny in the first place (which made her feel hostile and betrayed)
PS: if Danny had Jon's love and suppor (while grieving), she wouldn't go all "mad tyrant" saying nobody's opinion matters. The bìtch still wanted to Bleep him till her dying breathe. Why was her character destroyed just because of a mere preek while Sansa's character got elevated right from episode 1?
Y'all remember when i uploaded this last week?
Well... Game of thrones is a shiitý series to have being so predictable. Guy you dey watch back of TV? Sansa was made Queen of the North |
TV/Movies › Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by Brukx(m): 5:02am On May 20, 2019 |
Buharifanatic: Sansa's brother is king
She still found a way to make herself queen
She didn't trust Dany B4 so u don't trust ur own brother Watch before you comment. She only requested for the North to be independent. Bran is the King of the 6 kingdoms |

maybe its a curse
