The Godfather referred is Michael Corleone. This is his story - of transformation from an unassuming boy young man to the ruthless head of the Corleone crime family

Reply to comment by Crabrubber in TIL: The Government of Canada has an office that creates coats of arms for Canadian citizens, and that all Canadian Citizens may apply to the Governor General for a coat of arms and even an officially-recognized personal flag by ryguy_1
> A number of grants have been made to people who have already been recognized with state honours for their notable achievements, such as through admission to the Order of Canada
Although possible not always available. Getting OC is a tall deal. Getting a coat of arms is fairly simpler at that point

Reply to comment by autoposting_system in TIL in the 1980s Monty Python got much of its exposure to the US through PBS, because of CBS censoring parts of "The Holy Grail" in a 1977 broadcast. This upset the comedy troupe, prompting them to withdraw the broadcast rights. by AnthillOmbudsman

Fun fact: The Tokyo tower resembling the Eiffel is actually taller than the Eiffel tower.

Nope thats not Khumbu then. Annapurna I is further south like an enclave. Everest on rare summer days can be very clear and look similar to this.

Are you sure? That sounds more like a backronym to me than an actual derivative streetword. From what i also heard, policemen used to wear copper badges or helmets (?) and the distinctive appear made them be called "cop" as a slang

I wish Gatorade came naturally :) The blueness comes from a certain Aluminum salt in higher concentration in the spring water. The frothy waterfall (which feeds the lake too) nearby also looks like arctic cooler drink fountain
