It'sa me, Mario!
Looks like a happy chap. Really does seem to look like an aged Mario though. Like 100%
I was just reading and commenting on the chicken egg post, and one way to treat COVID supposedly is "plasma" treatment. Just interesting synchronicity. Giving plasma high in antibodies to someone low in antibodies makes sense.
Plasma may be similar to ichor, the blood of the gods. When the gods were injured, and I'm talking Greek pantheon, they bled a clear fluid.
Maybe gods just had a high plasma to blood ratio?
When Saturday morning cartoons were good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKqFEV9rA1U
I assumed Mario was Italian but maybe he has some Iranian in him.
That's pretty interesting...
And as for the cartoon, I liked the opening, but I think I almost instantly didn't watch the show for one reason...I was a little too old for it.
I used to go completely out of my way as a kid to play Mario Bros. One of the smallest malls in my area for a long time had a little raised platform near the center of the mall with Joust and Mario Bros. That was it.
I was terrible at both games.
I'm sure you know the origin of Nintendo (gambling and playing cards), but I would like to point out in addition, and this is REALLY interesting...One of the oldest examples of the Latin alphabet (modern day English alphabet) being used is on an old vase. It's called the Duenos inscription.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duenos_inscription
When I looked at it, I was drawn to one string of letters...
NEITEDENDO
Now I don't know about you, but I've rarely seen -tendo or -dendo in words
Nintendo means "leave luck to heaven"
The vase with that inscription is made of three connected vases, with an inner reservoir to collect a mixture of whatever you put in the three vases, and it was used to make perfume.
You can see the translation, but basically whoever wrote it was asking the gods, "heaven", for luck with women. Or it could've been a merchant saying that his perfume would help other men get lucky with women (if you go by the full translation at the bottom of the wiki).
I was pretty floored finding this, honestly.
