Today, we have two very special questions:

“whose head exploded in a chess game”?

Nobody’s. And this is not some weird Odysseus and the Cyclops thingy, it’s literally like that. Just like I said before, it’s just an urban legend and never happened.

“what is ‘antici……pation’ thing about”?

Oh, shame on you!!! The Rocky Horror Show is probably the best musical ever, and even if you don’t agree with me, it’s definitely popular culture 101.

Antici…pation is a reference to the end of the song Sweet Transvestite.

Here’s the lyrics:

So come up to the lab
and see what’s on the slab.
I see you shiver with antici……pation.
But maybe the rain
Is really to blame,
So I’ll remove the cause but not the symptom.

And here’s the video from the great, great movie. You’ll find this part at about 3:30.
