"Who wants to be a millionaire" : Indian style

Washington Post article When are they going to make a Survivor clone? __________________ survivor was a clone itself actually - from a swedish show named (i think) "robinson" after the swiss family robinson. an indian one would be kinda cool though... but they'd have to put them in like siberia or something, because indians would already be used to heat and eating rice and bugs all day. hehe, no offense. __________________ Actually, I think it was the clone of a clone. I work with a few guys from the UK, and they said they had "Survivor" there before, but it was called "Castaways". And in what manner is calling indians "bug eaters" not offensive? That's like calling Chinese people "dog eaters" or something. hehe, that is offensive, even if you didn't mean it. __________________ no no no, bugs are a delicacy in india... like beetles and what not. i didn't mean anything at all by saying that. the point i was trying to make is that a new approach will be needed as indians are accustomed to a diet based upon things such as rice. the cuisine in india is such that bugs to them would not be as repulsive as it is to americans. i hope this clears things up some. __________________ Yes, Survivor was a rip-off. The original series was called Gilligan's Island __________________ quote: Originally posted by got apex: Yes, Survivor was a rip-off.

My parents are from India and from the way my mom reacts to cockroaches, um, she's not thinkin food hehe. The weird thing about Indian diet is everything has to be frickin spicy and it's all veggie for the most part. Personally, I keep my 12 guage and Bessy out in the backyard for those summer BBQs hehe ------------------ Ço£o§§ü§ - yeah you can read into it... __________________ mmmm mmmm mmmm.. spicy Indian food. Gotta love that. Of, course, good ole' Bessie burgers are always good, too. ------------------ §=-Sp34dFr34k-=§ __________________ is there any connection between the indian rupee and the rupees used in zelda games? it strikes me as odd to call the currency in a fantasy video game after real currency. __________________ quote: Originally posted by Speedfreak: mmmm mmmm mmmm.. spicy Indian food. Gotta love that. I definitely agree!!!! __________________ Zelda, eh? Time to break out the nesticle, and start playing that some more. what a classic. Speaking of nesticle, got to love the genecyst too __________________ Most of the RPG and D&D stuff are actually based off of Indian mythology of some type. That's why the funky words like Avatar (an Indian word) are used - in essence it it the highest form of goodness or some spiel like that. It's a sanscrit word according to my dad. So yeah, I'm guessing the rupee would be the same. "Oh, welcome Homer Simpson. My name is Apu". __________________ rupees sounds like a VD
