Apropos of nothing, here's my personal headcanon in regards to Mario and Luigi's surname.
Now, it's been generally announced and accepted that the brothers' last name is "Mario," shackling them with the somewhat awkward full names of "Mario Mario" and "Luigi Mario." My take on this is that the family's original last name was "Marianetti" (likely coming from the more common "Marinetti"). This name was changed to "Marionetti" when the boys' grandmother came over from Italy. (A common occurrence in record keeping at immigration at the time. Someone probably had bad handwriting and smudged a pencil stroke somewhere. It happened in my family for sure).
In Brooklyn, their father went by the last name "Marionetti," which ended up shortened to just "Mario," as oftentimes he would be addressed by his surname only. (Think, "Hey, Mario! Get over here!" as opposed to "Hey, Marionetti! Get over here!")
So, the boys are born and get their names. (Their father's middle name was Mario, and so our Mario, being the oldest, inherits his father's middle name as his first name. Luigi's name maybe comes from the middle name of some uncle who is long out of the picture).
So we have "Mario Marionetti" and "Luigi Marionetti." Which, their surname being a mouthful, gets shortened to "Mario" more often than not, just like their father. And thus we end up with "Mario Mario" and "Luigi Mario," culminating in the "Mario Brothers."

Robin: You know, I'm surprised you managed to copy the exact chemicals that made the Joker go insane. They were disposed of after the incident, and literally never remade.
Rex: Oh, it wasn't hard. In fact, the chemicals didn't even do much to him, they were just a slightly corrosive material that reduced his melanin, permanently.
Robin: Really?
Rex: Yeah. He was already crazy before them, but the chemicals just gave him a half-assed excuse for insanity.
Superboy: So... doesn't that just mean you knowingly dumped Joker Junior into acid?
Rex: Well when you say it like that it sounds bad.

I love how most most shows start by establishing the personalities and character flaws of the main cast and then as the show goes on, we focus on their character arcs to eliminate or minimise those negative traits
And then nbc's Hannibal was like, "Oh, you see how normal *most* of these characters are?? Wanna see how fast we can change that???" :)

Was playing the first episode of Before the Storm and noticed Warren's name being written on one of the posters and was wondering about how if Chloe and Warren became friends, would Warren be a good influence on Chloe, or would Chloe be a terrible influence on Warren ?

Today is Duran Duran Apprecation Day. Let’s reminisce about the time our beloved Bruce wore Tony’s clothes in Thor Ragnarok. Kudos to Mark for suggesting this shirt as a nod to RDJ. Science Bros Forever! 💚❤️

Went to a stationary store today, got a cute pink pen for just ₹10/- (a steal, right?). Funny enough, it got me a bit motivated, so I finally managed to kick off my studies (starting with genetics). :p
Also grabbed some snacks, haha. Just restocking the essentials.
