Really just looks like a case of Hypermobility to me (Double Jointed)
I have it too and can also do what -KarumA- can.

If i use the keyword "Hypermobility" as in the google image search, you mean like that right Kyomi? Where you can bend your fingers or hands in a "L" shape?

[Kyomi]

Right, Hypermobility. Didn't -KarumA- say something about being able to stretch his elbow up to the point that it looks like "^" I believe that's kind of stretching would fit as "Hypermobility" same applies for the part where you put your hand down and able to move the joint of the elbow in a very flexible way and almost pointing in any direction.

I can do almost 180 Deg. rotation (Maybe about 160 or so) of the elbow joint myself without moving my hand or shoulder, and it does freak people out because it naturally happens when I put my hand down somewhere and have a minimum of pressure on it. Though it seems I don't have Hypermobility Syndrome, or anyhow I don't have any of the "major" symptoms.

so that's what that is called
and yeh i can do the same, without putting any pressure on it or holding onto anything turn my ellebow around to about 160 degrees
people freak out when they see it because when i stretch my arm i automatically twist it, my sis would alwasy poke me and say "ooy do your arm normal!"

I see, I see. I didn't know what "^" was, lol. A big capital "L" would be easier ^_^. Well... one more useless knowledge to add to my database of useless stuff.

I'm not a musical person once so ever, but I'm looking for the instrument that creates the neat sound for the first 20 seconds of the Ef ending. I'm not gonna buy it or anything but just for the sake of interest ^^

-The Ending Clip for reference ^^

My first guess would be Harmonica. I considered it being a Accordion to, but the more i hear it the less i believe a accordion can produce such a sound.
Though my sense of music isn't what one would call good either, so i could be wrong

I think you are correct. I went (yeah, yeah don't mind my broken grammar ^_^, "was") watching some movies on both and the Harmonica sounds seem much more similar to that of the song than the Accordion.

For anybody who watched the original Iron Chef, did Kobe appear before or after Morimoto? Wikipedia says Morimoto appeared in February 1998, but nothing on Kobe except he came back to Japan after spending around 4 years in Italy after the show's debut in 1993. That would make it around 1997-98.

[[DOT].L]

If memory serves me right, Morimoto came onto the show just a bit later than Kobe.

Edited: see following post.

I didn't expect Kobe to be the last one in since Kaga mentioned about getting another Iron Chef after the battle with the Thai chef during the Nakamura era. Anyways, thanks.

EDIT
To the post below: Oh, alright. Now that fits better with my above assumption.

Actually you know what, I got the names in reverse order (now why did that happen). It's Kobe who came first.

[Sakura_Kinomoto]

hmmm just doing a bit of research and yeah it does look like Kobe came first

2 forum-related questions just out of curiosity:

1. If a thread starter deletes the first post, would the whole thread be deleted?
2. I assume it's an unused forum feature, but what's this group membership in the profile? (I'm not about talking about the custom group above the avatar.)

1. It shouldn't, it's jsut another post.
2. That is something that I personally think has no uses, it just display what your interests are. That's all I can remember ^^

Its the same thing..

group membership in profile = custom group above avatar. Also, the profile list all group you joined ( go check Cats profile) but only display one above the avatar.

Currently, it brings no benefit, other then the fact that the feeling that you belong to a family inside a big huge family.. thats all ^^

oooo.. I just noticed I can view my infraction table in my profile Not just in my CP .. buuuu

Actually I just checked an the "Delete" button under Edit does not appear on the thread you start, so I guess you could edit your post to nothingness, but not delete it.

OK, thanks for the answers, people.
