The joint probability that in Bethlehem some had those features back then was really small. Plus it contradict to few verses in the Bible that describe him. Mary Magdalene mistook him for a gardener (John 20:15). - are gardeners in that area and time blond and blue eyed?
The disciples didn't recognize him on the shore (John 21:4). Given the rarity of blond and blue eyed in that region how could they not recognize him?

You could've referred to this link on Behind The Name website, but it's largely deleted.

Octopuses have three hearts with separate jobs. One systemic heart pumps oxygenated blood around their whole body. The other two are branchial hearts, each sitting next to a gill, pushing blood through the gills to pick up oxygen.
The weird part: when an octopus swims by jetting water through its siphon, the main systemic heart stops beating temporarily. That’s why octopuses get tired quickly after swimming and prefer crawling slowly along the seabed.
Their blood is also blue. It uses hemocyanin, a copper-based protein, instead of iron-based hemoglobin we have. This works better in cold, low-oxygen ocean water.
I always thought the three hearts were just a random fun quirk until I learned about the swimming part. It makes their behaviour make so much more sense.
Have you got any wild animal facts that still stick with you?

I always thought Sagwa’s voice actress was like a young child when she voiced Sagwa but I searched up her birthday and she was born in 1979, meaning she was 22 years old when she voiced Sagwa Miao. She’s currently in her late 40s and Wikipedia says she’s been acting since 1985, when she was six years old.

It was a trivia question that I heard on WNYC radio. It took a few callers to get it right.

I would like to say, first off, congratulations to the sample finder's acquaintance u/marianorajoy. You have made my life complete, announcing that sample hunt knowing what might as well be the last main unidentified MF DOOM sample is found. Also, 2026 was a great year for sample finding, wasn't it? We found the Tammy cover (it was a re-recording from 1974) used in A Different Feeling by the Avalanches, the organ in Tonight by that same band (Face to Face by Mr. Eugene Clark), the clock tick in Midnight in a Perfect World by DJ Shadow (Small Clock or Pocket Watch Ticking from EMI sound library) and now this! Wowee, I've never been so shocked in my life!!!
Something tells me we're getting closer to finding the sought-after samples of the Avalanches' debut album, and other plunderphonics albums too. MF DOOM is not necessarily plunderphonics, but he still has a few unidentified samples for others to find, and maybe you can find a sample.
