In tonight’s Round 8: Random Knowledge we asked you to identify the island country Malta by its official language Maltese. Malta looks like a cool place to visit. It has a rich history and a vibrant culture and is a popular tourist destination for many. To get around however, it would probably do you some good to learn a little of the language to get by on your visit. Let’s start with the basics shall we?

Hello - Hello.
What is your name? - X'jismek?
My name is ___ - Jisimni ______.
Please - Jekk joghgbok.
Thank you - Grazzi.
Goodbye - Sahha.
Do you speak English? - Titkellem bl-Ingliz?
Where is the toilet? - Fejn hu t-toilet
Can I have a beer? - Jista 'jkolli birra?

Really though, no one cares. I know what you are thinking right now. How DO you swear in Maltese? Well courtesy of myinsults.com, here are some phrases that will not only guarantee a few broken bones but will uphold our well earned American asshole tourist reputation. Here we go:

Firrah jaqbdek cancer fil bajd – I wish you a cancer in your testicles!
Mur hudu f'sormok – Go fuck yourself.
Xkora demel – Sack of cow dung.
Busli sormi ala francisa – French kiss my ass!

A few of my personal favorites:

Haqq al banana alla – Fuck the banana god!
Haqq ras alla bic-chips – Fuck god’s head with fries
Tant ghandek zejziet imdendlin li meta tkun fis-seba' sular in-nippliet ikunu qed isaqsu fejn hu t-tarag. - Your tits are so saggy that when you're on the seventh floor, your nipples are still asking for directions to find the stairs.

There you have it. Lucky for you, Malta has publicy funded healthcare so you can enjoy that broken nose with the comfort of knowing the guy who gave it to you has to pay for it.

Grats toTeam Insomnia who wiped the floor with the rest of you. They took home a cash prize of $50. They clearly stay up all night studying for pub quiz and it paid off.

In last night’s Round 1: Recently in Stuff, we learned the unfortunate news Elizabeth Colbert Busch, sister of Stephen Colbert, lost the special election to congress by disgraced ex governor Mark Sanford in South Carolina. If you recall, he was the one that “went missing” on the Appalachian Trail when he was really porking his Argentine mistress in Buenos Aires. Once he returned and subsequently caught, he publicly called said mistress his “soulmate” and proclaimed his undying love for her. Rather than standing by her man, Jenny Sanford took their boys, moved out of the governor’s mansion and got a divorce. Good girl!

Why South Carolina elected this giant douche whom was almost impeached over the matter and then charged with 37 violations by the Ethics Commission is beyond me. I think Colbert’s sister would have been the better choice. Wag of the Finger South Carolina!!

Grats to first place team 77ers! They took home $68 this week! Favorite team name of the week goes to Hodor Hodor Hodor! Honorable mention to Ladies Come First (damn right they do!).

Mr. Cody answered the super secret email bonus question and won himself a very cool pint glass. Want in on the insider info? Click here to join the email list for a chance to win some of the amazing mystery prizes I keep in the box of secrets!

SO you THINK you're a Libra...

I am a walking encyclopedia for all things astronomy. In tonight’s Round 8: Random Knowledge we asked you the astrological signs for Jesus, Lincoln, and Hitler. By the definitions of grocery store checkout line astrology, they happed to be Capricorn, Aquarius, and Taurus. And you were right if you answered those. Don’t worry, you guys got the points.

I’m about to let you in on a little known bit of trivia that you wont learn at pub quiz. You might want to sit down for this.

You may not be the astrological sign you think you are.

First off, astronomy and astrology are two ENTIRELY different things. Do not confuse them. Ever. Secondly, I will use astronomy to explain why you might not be a Gemini. See millennia ago, the ancient Greeks developed and refined common astrology that we have come to know in the present. It was a form of divination and method of predicting the future. Knowing the position of stars in the sky was a very important way of determining what time of the year it was, when to plant crops and when to expect seasonal changes in climate. Survival depended on this knowledge.

Anywhoo what the Greeks didn’t know about was the precession of the earth. Imagine spinning a top and watching it wobble in circles as it spins around its axis. This is exactly what the earth does, except it takes 26,000 years to make one revolution. This is why Polaris is our north star today and back then I believe it was the star, Thuban. This means that back then, the layout of the night was totally different than it is now.

This is part of one of why you are not the sign you think you are.

Part 2 of my explanation deals with how the Greeks set up their astrological calendar. See, they took the 12 signs we all know and love and divided them up equally across the year. According to their calendar, our dear Sun was in each zodiac sign for approximately one month. 12 signs, 12 months, easy peezy.

Except there’s a 13^th zodiac constellation called Ophiuchus… that and the Sun does NOT spend its time equally amongst the zodiac constellations. For example the Sun spends 45 days in Virgo and only 7 in Scorpius. See where I am going here? Here! See for yourself and compare!

TRADITIONAL ASTROLOGICAL DATES			ACTUAL ASTRONOMICAL DATES TODAY (c. 2000 C.E.)
Constellation	Date Span	Days	Constellation	Date Span	Days
Aries	21 Mar - 19 Apr	30	Aries	19 Apr - 13 May	25
Taurus	20 Apr - 20 May	31	Taurus	14 May - 19 Jun	37
Gemini	21 May - 20 Jun	31	Gemini	20 Jun - 20 Jul	31
Cancer	21 Jun - 22 Jul	32	Cancer	21 Jul - 9 Aug	20
Leo	23 Jul - 22 Aug	31	Leo	10 Aug - 15 Sep	37
Virgo	23 Aug - 22 Sep	31	Virgo	16 Sep - 30 Oct	45
Libra	23 Sep - 22 Oct	30	Libra	31 Oct - 22 Nov	23
Scorpio	23 Oct - 21 Nov	30	Scorpius	23 Nov - 29 Nov	7
			Ophiuchus	30 Nov - 17 Dec	18
Sagittarius	22 Nov - 21 Dec	30	Sagittarius	18 Dec - 18 Jan	32
Capricorn	22 Dec - 19 Jan	29	Capricornus	19 Jan - 15 Feb	28
Aquarius	20 Jan - 18 Feb	30	Aquarius	16 Feb - 3/11	24-25
Pisces	19 Feb - 20 Mar	30-31	Pisces	12 Mar - 18 Apr	38

I used to think I was a Sagittarius, but I’m really a Scorpio. You might want to think about that the next time you get a tattoo. Trust me.

Grats to our winners this week Capt Tit Hand and the Muffin Tops! They went home with $60 in CASH! We had a tie for second place between The Unbalanced Paddle Boarders and Bob Loblaw’s Law Blog (say that 3 times fast!) in which we settled with Spotify, kamikaze style.. .

See you next week for another night of drunken ramblings by yours truly. Cheers!
