I suppose I should answer them separately, because that's the normal approach. 1. That average APM rises with lifetime kimchi consumption is a known fact. This is likely how July got to where he is today. Of course, there is a certain amount of natural talent involved, but for July we can presume that he was less a product of innate talent than of Kimchi. 2. I like to think that all Koreans exist in a state of pansexual mystery. As such, there is no 'homosexuality' as we would understand it. Instead, sometimes a Korean boy will simply look and act more like a Korean girl. People try not to make a big deal of it.

Many westerners, myself include, have taken to using 'ziziyo' as a simply method of communicating to an opponent, "I may have lost, but check out how cool I am when it comes to letters that don't build anything," Unfortunately, in Korea the term has far more nasty connotations, and harks back to the early days of professional StarCraft play. In the days before Brood War's release, SC was played dank underground clubs, usually run by the Korean mafia. It was not uncommon for someone found to be maphacking to have their clicking finger cut off as a consequence. "Ziziyo" basically says, "You may have won this time, but I will stab you in the kidneys as we leave the building and kekekekeke as you bleed out." It's a sad truth.

I hope someone posts before reading more than the title and then gets freaked out. I included the impressive MSPaint pictures to help avoid that, but I'm kind of hoping people ask normal questions too  | ||

In vuvuzelas as in so many other e-sports related noises, Korea informs the rest of the world, rather than the other way around. As a result, the stream you were watching had likely had vuvuzelas for a while, but we failed to notice it because we had no frame of reference. When the Korean fans brought vuvuzelas to south africa, the rest of the world caught on. This is just the kind of eloquence we need more of. | ||

The near-enslavement of musicians in Korea comes as a result of the fact that they really do need to eat about 4.5k calories worth of kimchi to stay at the front of the musical-arms-race they've built. Those who get to the top usually do so by eating a monumental amount of kimchi. In order to maintain that solid Korean figure, about which we see so many blogs, need to work hard to burn it off. They need to work harder than any single person can make themselves work... so they have to be made work It's a cruel and vicious cycle  | ||

Still, I'm alright with statistics, so I'd feel pretty comfortable saying that around 105% of all Koreans know how to make kimchi, if you take foreigners living in Korea into account. | ||

Maybe you should write her a letter in Korean? Then you could say when she asks, "Oh, well I'm very good at ideograms." Bitches dig ideograms. | ||

In truth, I've always found it tastes a lot like a very cheap beer, with some caffeine added. This also explains Flash's horrifying tics. | ||
