Hi Heidee and all. The page Olivia linked says it's a sanshin which is almost the same as a shamisen - it's the Okinawan version and is older.

I really want to rewatch Parks & Recreation but they moved it from Netflix to some dumb new streaming service in the U.S. so pffffft. Heidee, check it out if you haven't. Skip season 1, the show hadn't gelled yet, much like The Office (U.S.) and they basically re-jiggered the whole thing in season 2.
Avatar 4:17pm

@Ike: I think it's common to pronounce the US version weirdly to emphasize that it's not the same as the old-world city. For example Lima Ohio is "Lye-ma" and Cairo IL is "Kay-ro". (I'm not sure if they say Pea-Ru but I think they do)

@Heidee and YetiBob: And to that list of Illinois place names of global resonance, you might add the town of Pekin, selected allegedly because the founders thought that they were positioned on the exact opposite side of the earth from Peking, China. Canton, Ohio has a similar origin I understand.

WillCrete:

@Hiedee- as for the motivations for naming towns, I suspect that there is variously a mix of nostalgia and homage / aspiration at work in many. But for Crete, IL, the name seems to have been selected totally at random. The story goes that the fellow who incorporated the town just opened the Bible to a random page and selected the first place name he found there.

Now I'm looking at "The origins of unusual place-names." by Armond and Winifred Moyer. Berlin isn't even listed there, because, after all, it's not that unusual of a name.

@Yeti Bob, as they used to say up the Thruway, "when in Rome, go to Utica." In all fairness, it was just me.

@Yeti Bob did I ever tell you that we sometimes speculate that my oldest son is a yeti, because he's big and hairy and every picture of him is blurry?

@Tim from... Ophiocordyceps unilateralis is this wild fungus that commandeers living ants' bodies; after it permeates the host with these micro-filaments, it makes the ant climb a tree and hang from a branch above the ant's colony. Then its fruit-bearing body bursts from the head of the ant and showers spores on the ants below.

@Niall - wow, thanks! That's the real reason Elon Muak is sending out space ships. He's going to perform a multi-continent synchronized launch with space ships loaded with the fungus. The space ships will explode in the atmosphere and in all living creatures will turn into zombies to do Musk's bidding.

Very true, John. I had to duck out for half an hour to plan out some stuff on the phone. Back for the last half hour, though. Kate's laying down vocal tracks in the other room, so it's a rich soundscape indeed around these parts.

@Heidee - there are a lot of other cordyceps out there, but I'd hazard to guess no - only because there are surely easier mushrooms to cultivate that don't require such special conditions!
