Education / Funny But Silly Things We Did During High School by Sagytarius(m): 7:37am On Dec 16, 2013
Funny but Silly things we did during high school. I go first.

As an alumnus of a pro-unitate, I recall the Red Nights. The Red Night is the eve of students' departure to their respective homes after a spell of 3-4 months in the Boarding school environment. During this period of confined learning, we do get punished and bullied by our senior ones, both for genuine and flimsy reasons.

After enduring this period of 'torture', the Red Night presents itself as one of the opportunities to strike back at our oppressors. During this particular night, movement within the school premises is unrestricted to a great extent. It becomes sort of rowdy. You can find the jubilant ones (most probably because of good end-of-term academic results), as well as the saddened ones (you can tell why). Whatever the reason might be, the oppressed students capitalize on this rowdy period to device wicked means to pay back their oppressors. The tactics are numerous. But mine was exceptional!.

While everyone was away from the dorm, I went to my Room-Rep's bed corner. He's a 'professional' bully! So I decided to pay him back for his oppression. I looked for some electric cable; connected one end of it to a power outlet, and the other nakëd end was in contact with his bunk. "Perfect! ", I thought to myself. I then alerted few of my close roommates, who also wanted some pounds of his flesh. They bought the idea. We also made sure his bunk mate didn’t lie on that bed.

So we patiently waited for him to return and retire to his bed. It was getting very late into the night, but eventually, he came into the room. Ghen Ghen! We became silently observant. Lol. Soon as he sat on his bed and made contact with the metal part, you could imagine the kind of body movement that followed grin . It was sweet for us to behold. I had a good silent laugh, but some of my friends couldn't help but laugh out loud!

That outburst of laughter sold us out and we got duely punished for it.
However, it was fun to me; but in hindsight, it was a very silly and dangerous game.

Now your turn. Can you share your experience in the boarding school?

Double post.
TV/Movies / Re: World War Z : Goofs by Sagytarius(m): 11:45pm On Dec 13, 2013
Even a blind man can see the lotsa goofs in our dear Nollywood movies. grin
I could have sworn there were no goofs in this very movie, albeit, fictional.
TV/Movies / World War Z : Goofs by Sagytarius(m): 11:30pm On Dec 13, 2013

I believe a lot of us have watched the movie World War Z, and got trilled. I got thrilled too. I had never been a fan of zombie movies because they are too slow and irritating. But this case was different. They were very fast and agile. Imagine the zombies diving from the top of the roof, in determination to prey on the occupants of a hovering helicopter. That was breathtaking. I really enjoyed it.

However, these thrills made me not to observe so many goofs in that movie. "goofs ke?" you may ask. U too didn't notice. Don't deny. But what are those goofs? Sit back, relax, and let's cast our memories back to realize what these goofs are.

World War Z : Goofs
Errors in geography
The Pepsi bottles at the WHO offices in Cardiff, UK, have American FDA calorie
labels.

Factual errors
The U.S. Navy does not operate the Antonov An-12.

Continuity
The airplane that Gerry Lane travels in repeatedly switches between an Antonov
An-12 and a Lockheed C-130 Hercules.

Factual errors
On passenger aircraft such as the Airbus A310 the protagonist boards in Jerusalem,
ladders do not automatically extend from access hatches. The hatches have to be
opened (and the ladders lowered) manually.

Factual errors
They use Iridium satellite phones indoors (inside the aircraft carrier, inside the
airplane) which is not possible - they need a clear view of the sky.

Errors in geography
The distance from Korea to Israel is 5000 miles, way outside the maximum
operating range of either an AN-12 or C-130.

Continuity
When Gerry and his family are in the RV his youngest daughter finds a rifle. Gerry
grabs it and sets it against the back of the driver's seat. When they leave the
vehicle to get an inhaler from the pharmacy, Gerry grabs the rifle from a rifle
hanger.

Continuity
After the grenade explodes in the plane, the pilots put on blue emergency helmets,
equipped with oxygen masks. In the following sequence when they appear, they just
wear their standard microphone helmets.

Continuity
At the beginning of the film, in the traffic jam, a motorcycle policeman pulls up and
tells Gerry to get back in his car; there is nothing behind him but gridlocked traffic; a
second later when he tells Gerry to remain in his vehicle, he's suddenly mown down
by a PWD dump truck even though as he's pulling up there's two lanes of cars and
taxis backed up to the end of the street with no dump truck in sight and no way for
it to charge through unobstructed.

Errors in geography
As the passenger plane comes into land at Cardiff Airport the background images
show Snowdon and other mountains in the Snowdonia region. It would be highly
unlikely that a route from Jerusalem to South Wales would take them to North
Wales.

Continuity
The First Zombie Segan shoots (the red haired one) can bee seen being killed again
as Segan and the WHO doctor flee, and then again as Gerry crosses the sky bridge

Continuity
At the few opening shots of the movie the two daughters wake up the parents,
Gerry's hands keep changing from behind his head to under the pillow in-front of
him.

Continuity
The UN pin on under secretary Thierry Umutoni's jacket switches from his right hand
jacket lapel to his left and then back to the right.

Factual errors
While on-board the Navy vessel, the radio operator (the one who says "Have you
recorded any instance where a person was bitten, but not infected"wink has two
different rank insignias on his collar, one for a lieutenant (O-3), the other for
lieutenant commander (O-4)

Errors made by characters
Dr Fassbach a neurologist from Harvard states that the Spanish Flu didn't exist in
1918. Someone like him should know that 1918 was the year the flu started and was
first noticed in January of that year.

Continuity
When the motorcycle hits the side mirror of Gerry's car in the traffic jam, the mirror
falls between Gerry's car and the vehicle in front of him. When Gerry picks up the
mirror, it is already in the front wheel of his car.

Factual errors
When they are done refueling the plane in Korea, the navy seal pulls the hose off
like it is a snap on, when in actuality it is a D-1 nozzle which has a lock that has to
be turned and then the nozzle itself has to be turned counter clockwise before being
taken off.

Crew or equipment visible
(at around 11 mins) As the RV is driving towards the bridge after breaking though
the barricade, there is a cameraman visible to the left of the left Humvee.

Errors in geography
When Gerry and the other characters are at the W.H.O centre in Wales, the signs in
the background located throughout the building are all displayed in English only,
however in reality, these signs would more than likely be bilingual; both in Welsh
and English.

Continuity
When Gerry and Sagan leave the W.H.O center in Wales Segen is wearing a black
hood over her head. In the next scene, immediately after stepping through that
gate, Segen's head not covered up by that black hood.

Continuity
The escape from Israel is on board an A310. However the interior of the cabin, as
shown in the movie, corresponds to a B777 and not an A310.

Continuity
After the family reaches the apartment and everyone is listening to the radio, the
light is clearly on in the fish tank even with the power out.

Audio/visual unsynchronized
Just before the infected come over the wall in Jerusalem, Gerry says, "If I could get
into India, where would I start?" "India's a black hole." The lines originally named
Russia, not India, and you can still read Russia on his lips. The editing of the scene
fails to completely conceal the second overdub as well.

Dear MTN, my dear MTN, Dearest MTN, my Dearest MTN... no matter how you p people rephrase this text and send it to me, I would not fall victim to your business tricks.

Then i recharged and i saw "reward your self right now, text yes to 7070 and you could win N2,000,000".... i still kept quiet....

Then i got a text and viewed it. What i saw is "does your number end with 7395? please send OK to 7070! *******7395has been rewarded with access to MTN's N2,000,000 draw today! subscribe for 100/day"....i still kept quiet...

Then i saw an alert again!!... "are you divinewisdom? yello, you just won MTN's N2,000,000 draw. Text OK to 7070 to claim it, 100/day" (money wey i don win i go still text 100/day to claim am abii?)....ok o, istill kept quiet....

Then just now i received a call and guess who called me? 7070... abeg wetin them wan tell me wey them never send for text? who knows what the next format will
