@clacke while I knew that they were Dutch (and that they went through a couple of name changes (The Tornados -> The Golden Earrings -> Golden Earrings -> Golden Earring)), I didn't know that Barry Hay was born in India to a Dutch Jewish mother and Scottish father. I guess that explains his English fluency and name. :)
I was curious if it was a stage name or not.

@clacke so, by that logic you could actually kill the king with your pawn if it's straight in front of it?

@espen when I watched the original Dune film again, I was like: "oh wow, The Captain (How I Met Your Mother) looks quite a bit younger".

@patterfloof ahh, thanks, I didn't get the joke as I've never heard of that chain. :) @noelle

@clacke "just the tip?"

@clacke huh! That's weird!

@clacke ah, I usually enjoy some #BrianCox, so I'll give it a watch, thanks!

@rozina @bright_helpings I actually wasn't aware this was some viral thing; I thought it actually was just a fediverse thing. :)

@clacke might also want to have a look at the first half of the first season of Star Trek: Prodigy when you are done. :)

@clacke the series is full of easter eggs and other references, which is a big part of why I like it. :)

If you'd like a companion series to not miss all the references, have a look at #TrekCulture's "The Ups and Downs of Star Trek: Lower Decks"

@clacke
#TomScott wasn't even a Red Shirt yet!

@Gina image for those who'd rather not visit Twitter:

@Gina or perhaps something about how the former PM of Norway, #ErnaSolberg, looked a lot like a certain #Slitheen, an evil alien from #DoctorWho: https://twitter.com/stats_norway/status/529936657995558912

There, fixed that for them ;)
