Frank Answers: Apes/Monkeys, Blind Samurai Showdown, and Baby Names

From Poosh, the Lost King of China, writes:
What is a good web-site design tool that is easy to use and please could you point me in the direction of a decent "blog provider" type thing. Also, you say you hate monkeys but what of Apes? Apes are not the same as Monkeys I was told.

Most people start out on blogspot using, where people extremely patient will be able to eventually read what you write... on good days. I prefer MoveableType, but you will need to get your own URL and hosting service for that. What nice about MoveableType is that when you link to me you'll be able to send a Trackback to the post you linked. Then people will see all the trackbacks I have for that post and say, "Wow! Frank writes popular posts."

As more Monkey/Apes, they all are the same to me and just as evil. Don't even worry yourself with that divide. Just shoot to kill.


Hodadenon from Rensselaer, NY writes:
Saw your reference to Zaitoichi and blind Samurai below. I had just finished watching a Zaitoichi marathon on cable last week. Blind samurai rock! But who do you think was the better blind samurai, Zaitoichi or Rutger Hauer in "Blind Fury"?

Well, I only saw one Zaitoichi movie so far, but, then again, there is only one Blind Fury movie. Zaitochi seemed to be able to equal in sword combat many different seeing opponents, while Hauer only fought one opponent with a sword quite awkwardly. Then again, Hauer mainly took on enemies with guns. Still, Zaitoichi seems to be the more traditionally skilled, while, on the other hand, Hauer is an American and Americans always win. I think I'll just flip a coin to decide who would win.

...crap, I don't have any change. Well, all you readers can flip your own coins: heads Zaitoichi wins, tails Rutger Hauer.


Richard R. from Moabi, Gabon writes:
What's a really, really cool name for a baby girl?

How about Zora, like that chick form Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire. Sounds like the name of an Amazon warrior to me. That's kinda cool. In all honesty, though, I really shouldn't be naming kids.

* * * *

Please keep the questions coming, e-mailing me with the subject "Frank Answers" and include your name and town after the question and blog URL if you have one. Since I like the whole name and town dynamic, if you don't give me a place you're from, I'll randomly select one.

Rutger wins hands down...besides, I'm still holding a grudge for Pearl Harbor.

Wow, I wrote the above before reading the stuff below...Frank and I must be mind melded or something. Get your filthy Vulcan hands off of me...and go wash your brain.

#2 - Posted by: Bane on July 2, 2003 12:46 PM

One problem, Hauer is Dutch, not american. Still, he expertly skewered that evil bishop in Ladyhawke so he does know the proper way to use a bigass sword.

#3 - Posted by: Mythilt on July 2, 2003 01:22 PM

Cool Girl Name: Zepher

#4 - Posted by: Bob on July 2, 2003 01:41 PM

Doh! Zephyr

#5 - Posted by: Bob on July 2, 2003 01:42 PM

Zephyr is a hippie name. I actually knew a hippie girl by that name. I don't think Frank would ever give a kid a hippie name, would you Frank?

#6 - Posted by: Hodadenon on July 2, 2003 01:49 PM

Beware! The Monkeys are influencing you, Frank! Zora was the name of the female CHIMPANZEE scientist in Planet of the Apes! (Or was it Zera? OH well, they sound enough alike - who wants a name that sounds like a Monnkey?)


Orion

"...One problem, Hauer is Dutch, not american..."

He's an HONORARY Amurrican...and if little Zephyr puts on a few too many pounds, we can call her Zeppelin...

#8 - Posted by: Bane on July 2, 2003 03:01 PM

Zaitochi wins hands down. In his 637 movies, he annihilated over 3,847,021 Japanese bad guys, of whom well over half a million were extraordinarly well-trained swordfighters.

Blind Fury guy killed a couple of dozen guys, tops.

#9 - Posted by: Ken Begg on July 2, 2003 03:06 PM

Zora sounds like a good name, if you live on the "Planet of the Apes"

About blogging, I recommand you Grey Matter. It is only a cgi-script, without SQL database.
My favorite pattern of Grey Matter is that they have several icons, and very huge icons. It is simple to install, and simple to use. You can manage all your page very easily and use it without constrained.

About the girl name, I should think of Heliot. Her fantaisy name could be Heliotness... which sounds like a kind monster name, a man name actually.

#11 - Posted by: Amphitryon on July 2, 2003 05:22 PM

I hate monkeys, too, and especially Apes.

When people ask me why and I run through a list of the reasons that begin with their poo flinging habits, freakish strength, gross hand-feet, and tendencies to just scream like hellions even those whom I consider fairly reasonable people just laugh it off. But I'm serious. Monkeys are bad news, yo.

I don't like birds either but that's a different story.

These ultimate racing pocket bikes are today's fastest growing products in the motor sport vehicle industry, aside from electrics scooters and gas scooters.

Nice site.

A payday loans secured by a personal check - such as a payday loan - is very expensive credit. Let's say you write a personal check for $115 to borrow $100 in quick cash for up to 14 days. The check casher or payday lender agrees to hold the check until your next payday loan cash. At that time, depending on the particular plan, the lender deposits the check, you redeem the check by paying the $115 in cash, or you roll-over the check by paying a fee to extend the payday loans for another two weeks. In this example, the cost of the initial loan is a $15 finance charge and 391 percent APR. If you roll-over the loan three times, the finance charge would climb to $60 to borrow $100 payday loan cash advance.
