Did anyone catch the two guys in Yao Ming jerseys lip-syncing the Backstreet boys?

Also, with all this mention of Uluru, you'd think someone would've looked up the word by now (and if someone did, please link me to the topic). Turns out it's not made up, but it's a place in Australia better known as Ayer's Rock. There's a superstition that anyone who takes rocks from Ayer's will be cursed, and so on, so forth. Connections?

No one has exactly looked up the word, but I think a few know what it means. That's true about the curse, in general it is a very sacred spot for the Aboriginies. People have talked about it a little in this thread -- starts around post #28, or just search the page for "the dreaming" (sorry, I don't know how to link to a specific post).

And yes! That is indeed a little homage to the lip-syncing video. I can't believe it took someone this long to mention it (unless I missed it somewhere).

Yeah, I was in class today and noticed a picture of Australia with the phrase "Australia's Uluru" on it. Things just work like that in my reality.

I noticed the little homage immediately as well and my roommate and I (who apparently have nothing better to do than be aware of YouTube videos) cracked up. That whole scene was probably the most hilarious in the pilot. Genius.

Actually, I looked it up, as you can witness here Below is a quote from that post (without the link to Australia.com) I did not however know that there was a legend behind Ayers Rock, so that was a good find! Ollie (and for everyone else) to reference a single post in the thread, here is what you do:

Notice that little post # in the upper right hand corner of every post? Well, left click on the post number. Up should pop another small box with a web site that corresponds to that particular post. You can copy the entire web site and link it like a website just like THIS OR you could use the lovely snapback feature this site offers. At the very end of that web site corresponding to the direct post is the forum's post number (which is different from the thread's post number). For example, this snapback to my Uluru post is the 645th forum post but only the 2nd post in the thread. How do I know it is the 645th forum post? Because that is the last number in the web site corresponding to that desired post. Anyway, since there is no spoiler code, for snapback replace the word spoiler for snapback: 645 That is exactly what you do with the snapback feature. If I didn't explain the snapback well enough, just resort to using the link url feature.

Ollie, this is your post #28 in that thread
