Are you pondering what I'm pondering?

I want to make a confession. I'm real shy about this. I've been keeping it secret for some time now. I have no idea whether people will accept me after they found out the truth. What are my closest friends gonna think about me? Just to let you know, it takes up a lot of courage for me to be able to do this. So here it goes...ahem. I love pinky! Yes, I do. And no, I'm not finished yet. I love brain too! Hell yeah, love 'em both, narf!

I love them so much, I want to pay tribute to them with this post. It's one of the most enjoyable, funny and mind-stimulating cartoon show ever: Pinky and The Brain. Wobbly


For all those who've never seen the show, it's an animated comedy about two lab mice, Pinky and The Brain, who are constantly trying out schemes to take over the world.

I admire brain's ambitious nature, his intelligence, and creativity. But Brain also tend to be selfish, short tempered, intolerant because he cares of nothing but himself and his quest of world domination. Pinky, on the other hand, is the total opposite of Brain. Pinky is patient, kind, not jealous or boastful, not arrogant or rude, believes all things and faithful. Of course, also incredibly stupid. Narf!





Brain is soo...smart he even has his own words for things that that is not represented in available contemporary vocabulary. For example, what is the word for 'staring at someone eating in hopes they'll give you something'? In Brain's words, it's called groaking. Other interesting words in Brain's vocab are:

Yerk - to beat someone vigorously (useful. do that often)

Ultracrepidarianism - giving opinions outside of one's knowledge (ok, this one too)

Myomancy - divination by movements of mice (Just bought a book to teach myself of this one)

Schadenfreude - joy at the misfortune of others (Ha...)

Viraginity - female masculinity (Eww!!)

Phronemophobia - fear of thinking (everyone experience this at some point in life, right? Right?)

Panphobia - fear of everything (Wow!)

Also mind-bogling are Pinky's answers everytime Brain present him with the question: 'Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?'. It's available in wav files here.

Too bad the show is not shown on tv anymore, cause Pinky and The Brain rocks!!
