Shinobi 

Used to be one of the best ninja games for the Sega Genesis, now it's just some generic 3D hack-n-slash game for the Playstation2 where Joe Musashi (the main character) now looks like a Strider ripoff.

Revenge of Shinobi (1989), Shadow Dancer (1991), Shinobi 3 (1993).

Iron Chef 

A very humorous and interesting Japanese cooking show that is sometimes hosted on the Food Channel.

During the Iron Chef show, contestants usually have 20 minutes to craft gourmet meals using whatever ingredients they have on hand. The food is then reviewed on a 20-point scale based on how good it tasted, and how creatively the chef used the ingredients.

celibacy

Catholic nuns typically practice celibacy and sometimes vows of silence.

Kung Pow 

One of the best parodies of classic martial arts movies ever made. Once you start watching, you won't stop laughing. Guaranteed. I sure hope for a sequel or two to this.

I rented Kung Pow for the third time and still my sides hurt from laughing at the bloopers, jokes, and the hilariously horrible voice acting.

Jolt Cola has twice as much caffeine as Mountain Dew.

Some chocolates have a higher concentration of caffeine than others.

road rules 

MTV's Real World on wheels. Basically as boring as any other road-trip-based reality TV show that doesn't involve high-speed police chases.

MTV also devotes at least 8 hours a day to Road Rules reruns/marathons.
