Indeed. He gets annoyed at everything though.
Who are your favorite panelists? I love Sean Lock, Jimmy Carr, Jo Brand, Bill Bailey, David Mitchell, and Dara Ó Briain.
And not Sean Lock just because we share the same name.

Rich Hall is awesome too. OK, I guess I like almost all of them.

(BTW: it's just "Stonehenge", not "The Stonehenge")
Stonehenge is not a true henge as its ditch runs outside its bank, although there is a small extant external bank as well. So it's a 'semi-henge'.
Also from Wikipedia:
Christopher Chippindale's Stonehenge Complete gives the derivation of the name Stonehenge as coming from the Old English words stān meaning "stone", and either hencg meaning "hinge" (because the stone lintels hinge on the upright stones) or hen(c)en meaning "hang" or "gallows" or "instrument of torture". Like Stonehenge's trilithons, medieval gallows consisted of two uprights with a lintel joining them, rather than the inverted L-shape more familiar today.
The "henge" portion has given its name to a class of monuments known as henges. Archaeologists define henges as earthworks consisting of a circular banked enclosure with an internal ditch. As often happens in archaeological terminology, this is a holdover from antiquarian usage, and Stonehenge is not truly a henge site as its bank is inside its ditch. Despite being contemporary with true Neolithic henges and stone circles, Stonehenge is in many ways atypical - for example, at over 24 feet (7.3 m) tall, its extant trilithons supporting lintels held in place with mortise and tenon joints, make it unique.

Now this is very interesting 
Branta canadensis a.k.a the Canada Goose have been known to travel 1,000 km in one single day. They eat 12 hours per day in order to maintain proper nutrition, feeding on crops, water plants, insects, and crustaceans. They primarily graze in fields though.
They are one of the most talkative creatures after humans with 13 different forms of vocal communication.
The V shaped formation that you see serves as a way for making a longer journey. The lead bird takes up the most resistance from the air making the bird behind fly with greater ease. When the lead bird gets tired another bird takes up this position. The same principle is used in NASCAR racing. NASCAR racers call it drafting.

I was searching for something totally unrelated on Google image search a couple weeks ago, and I kept seeing images of Fudo come up.
I'm sorry I have nothing interesting to say.
