Huddles on the ground are the usual thing in really big victories. Baba, do you mean to tell me that you've only seen Americans do that?

Interestingly enough, here's video.  Available pretty quickly, suspect that it's not available in the US.

Interesting indeed. But you wonder why would North Korea even bother. Plus, what do the Chinese chant when they root for North Korea? Or actually, what does any team chant when they root for their team? I know what we chant when we root for the US, but that's it.

Oh, so what's the measure word in "a source of protein"? ;-)

I think everybody got almost all their comments out on the World Cup and Diamonds lesson. I know I won't have a lot of enthusiasm for the World Cup if the US and Brazil get knocked out.

Yes, but I would prefer that they go all the way toward absurdity. Past the ninjas killing off Canadians, leaping over the long haired girl in a psychotic's dream, and land on an episode of SOAP. The problem is that it's really hard to be funny.

I also wouldn't mind a dark matter lesson.

This is excellent. We can now learn measure words/phrases and dialog for ants, grasshoppers, toads, spiders, worms, scorpions, grubs, beetles , nuts, roots, and other protein sources that this intrepid couple will be forced to eat when the food runs completely out. Cpod should play against traditional norms and stereotypes and have the woman be the one willing to experiment and eat a beetle, and have the guy get grossed out. Then have her start wondering about what kind of wimp she's dating, and we can learn the Chinese word for "wimp"
