Stanton describes the theme of the film as “irrational love defeats life’s programming”.
The term cryptophthora (secret degradation) is sometimes used to express the degradation of secret key material resulting from side channel leakage.
Whatever its origin, the term pons asinorum is used as a metaphor for a problem or challenge which will separate the sure of mind from the simple, the fleet thinker from the slow, the determined from the dallier; to represent a critical test of ability or understanding.

Let’s play spot the difference. Do you see it?
Correct: the Wikipedia logo never had a red arrow on it. But also: that character it’s pointing at is a Klingon letter, now absent from the new logo. (Replaced with Amharic. Pfft, Amharic!) That means there is now no constructed language representation in the new logo. Outrageous!
Silver lining: you will, of course, have noticed another change: the previously incorrect Devanagari letters (far left) have now been corrected.
Hmm I’m going to report this to the administrators noticeboard so a sysop can delete your life out of existence. Sorry bro.

There has been recent discussion from the kangaroo meat industry about attempting to introduce a specific culinary name for kangaroo meat, similar to the reference to pig meat as “ham” and “pork”, and calling deer meat “venison”. The aim is to have diners thinking of the meat rather than the animal and avoiding adverse reactions to the eating of a ‘cute’ animal or “eating Skippy”. In 2005 the Food Companion International magazine, with support from the Kangaroo Industry Association of Australia, ran a competition hoping to find a name that wouldn’t put diners off when they saw it on a menu. The three-month competition attracted over 2700 entries from 41 nations, and the name “australus” was decided in December 2005. Other finalists for the name included “kangarly”, “maroo”, “krou”, “maleen”, “kuja”, “roujoe”, “rooviande”, “jurru”, “ozru”, “marsu”, “kep”, “kangasaurus”, “marsupan”, “jumpmeat”, and “MOM” (meat of marsupials).
