@@ehazeha1621 true, D&D's original Demogorgon looks like a two-headed baboon with tentacles or something similar. Not my favourite design. It would have been cool if the Stranger Things series used a Mindflayer as last boss in the kids' dungeon, thus naming the creature this way instead. It also enhanced the analogy with psionic powers and Eleven.

As a Pokemon fan myself I went crazy over the title
Fun fact. Since the Rafflesia is a parasitic plant, that can be seen in Vileplume's evolution line too. Oddish has a Mandrake in his head In Gloom the Rafflesia starts growing and you can see leftover leafs dying from the Mandrake And then Vileplume has the full Rafflesia, with no trace from the Mandrake Fun
"you're smells like flower today" "aw- really?" "yeah, well i mean bunga bangke" bunga bangke is local name for rafflesia. and that is local-oldschool joke. thank you for listening my ted talk

I think I've seen pictures of this flower before but I didn’t know it was a parasitic plant. It's pretty amazing how it uses its stench to attract flies. Thanks for the video. Also, maybe you could talk about honey ants next, if you haven’t already.

That merely means they are using its scientific name as their common one. Japanese borrows a lot of words this way. Fun fact, chocolate chip cookies, in Nihongono (Japanese) are called, "choko-chippu-cookieo," I shit you not. Coffee is, "cohio," where they kind of use the h sound, because their f version is very h-like. I tried to learn Japanese years ago, because my parents lived there for two years before I was born, and taught me some basic phrases, but having to learn both another language, **and** three new ways of writing, simultaneously, was just too hard for me. Side note: to my ear, the most beautiful spoken languages are: Swedish, when spoken by men, and Japanese, when spoken by women. Cheers!
