    To make Benitez’s story even stranger, he actually got that idea from another movie with the same premise.

    He was also surprisingly popular in Japan, and a number of anime and video game characters are based around the idea of a noble-hearted masked wrestler who fights to help children and the unfortunate.

    “My son just graduated as a doctor.”

    “That’s fantastic!”

    “But it’s in playing video games.”

    “Oh. Sorry to hear that.”

    Jack Black has been a great and funny actor in lots of movies. I liked him most recently in the Jumanji films.

    Universities know what side the bread is buttered. Hence they have scholarships and courses for a lot of areas. Such as sports, games, fashion, etc. Watching football and other sports take notice the number of times a player and his College are mentioned together — great advertising. Plus the donor list sent out every year.

    The real believe it or not is that New York needs a law to classify a sandwich… :D

    I remember, late 60s, you could get a new Mercedes sports car for $6500, a new Volkswagen beetle for $1400; rent an apartment for $50/month. Buy a house for $15000. Easily live on a job that paid $100/week. Believe it or not.

    Now I understand that classic photo of Buzz Aldrin stepping out of his Corvette, lunch pail in hand, at NASA.

    I think that the dealership ended that practice in 1978 when NASA hired Thirty Five New Guys.

    A college offering a scholarship for video gamers has got to be a diploma mill. The downfall of higher education in America.

    How many times have I told you to stop doing homework and play video games? How else are you going to get into college on a scholarship?

    Using New York as a benchmark for anything other than crime, dirt, or debauchery is probably a mistake.

    If John Montagu (1718-1792) came to New York, what would he say about the burrito?

    And now the astronauts get to lease a self-driving Tesla for $1 a year since they don’t really fly a spaceship, it’s all basically self propelled. I remember in the early days Chuck Yeager said he didn’t want to be in a rocket if he couldn’t pilot it – equating the job of an astronaut to being a monkey. However, he also didn’t have the education (i.e. college) required by NASA either.
