Wiki got yo' back. Musica bit in the see also gives a bit more information, too.

It was actually one of the more influential astronomy theories, years ago. Completely debunked nowadays, but yeah.

Winter should be a time of quiet and cold and 6 hour days. If people want to be noisy and stupid then they can do it in summer.

Nah, spring or fall. Summer's too hot to move/breath/exist and winter's too nice. In between periods is probably better, plus most everyone's at work or whatev' so any noise is likely away from people trying to get along with life. Exile that stuff to the seasons no one seems to feel particularly strongly about.

... man, I shouldn't confront my brain with statements like that this early in the day. My immediate thought was "check the local laws; it's entirely possible the civil/criminal penalties for grave robbing may cost less." Then I went and checked and... it looks like the maximum penalty in some areas of the USA is only 1k USD with no jail time involved, potentially less, potentially more depending on area and particularities.

That right there. That's thinking like a corporation, it is. Also why you generally make the fine more than the cost of compliance when you're creating regulatory laws, haha!

You're missing out of the simple rumble of an engine and the sound of wheels against pavement. Tis very relaxing until that 90 year old blind motherfucker pulls in front of you while you're going eighty, then gets pissed at YOU because he doesn't comprehend right of way. There is too much chatter in our world and not enough blissful silence.

... yeah, that's kinda' nice when that's all it is. Been a while since I've experienced that...

... and I haven't turned on the radio or kicked on music at all in probably a year or two Really need to get the car fixed up a bit, to the extent a '95 model ford can be.

Well, except the going 80 part. I... I don't think I've actually gone over 75 mph yet. Frankly hope I never have need to, heh.

Googoo references the stuff made by some critter that goes by Googoo64. Notables include... a lot. Like Doruge, Sppaman, Magma... there's a pretty sizable list, most high tier, some not. They've all got particularities that tend to make them pretty recognizable after you've seen a few, and they tend to be ridiculous for... varying reasons. It's not uncommon for them to be a treat to watch, though. For all the animation on 'em tends to be... spotty... they can be pretty neat. There's quite a bit of variation between the lot of 'em, honestly. Ninja'd, of course.

Mexican also tends to imply that the character would be otherwise trash or considerably weaker without their exaggerated qualities, usually because of utterly terrible AI. Th'term's more than a little racist (and also somewhat inaccurate, iirc), and originated, s'far as I'm aware, primarily due to a glut of DBZ (and a couple other series) characters exemplifying the trait (High stats, low programming, general low quality) coming from south/central american countries. And, Salty's chat constituents being what they are, a fair number can't tell spanish from portuguese even if they're repeatedly told something is one or the other and thus everything vaguely spanish sounding (including portuguese and occasionally italian) are/were lumped under "Mexican".

Incidentally, another bar to keep an eye out for is Burst AC (Or... AC Burst, one of the two). They tend to be pretty notable because they spend the betting period beating the everloving hell out of their opponent. The kings and queens of disrespect*, basically, and beyond that tend to have excellent (very aggressive) AI and are overall solid, ranging from pretty solid to incredibly so. Great fun, those critters.

*Disrespect being the AI going bugnuts during the betting period and starting the fight early. Especially glorious is when both sides do you and you get an extra round before the fight

Gotcha' covered. Been half meaning to check it out m'self after I noticed it over on roguebasin.

If they're not old enough to have really notable sentience/socialization yet, I've generally found treating them more or less the same as cats to be fairly effective at smoothing interactions. Roughly the same mindset of sociopathic hedonism, roughly the same set of proper actions (barring obvious physical differences, of course) related to distraction and care. Generally more noisy, though. There's particularities to each sort of critter, of course, but I've generally found it to be a pretty fair guideline.
