Chicago: Deep-dish pizza (Luke)

by

While we’re on the subject of Chicago’s deep-dish pizza, I have to point out this fantastic Jon Stewart rant that was only aired a couple of weeks prior to our arrival in Chicago. The set up is that the new World Trade Centre building in New York is officially the tallest building in the United States, taking over from Chicago’s Willis Tower. While the Chicago media had to concede this, they couldn’t do it without bringing up something that, in their opinion, they have over New York – their deep-dish pizza.

That was too much for Stewart, a die-hard New York pizza fan. This is his response. Enjoy!

Here Comes The Planet 41 – DMF Trivia Night

NOTE: Feel free to skip this episode if you’re not one of our friends back in Melbourne – you won’t miss out on anything. 🙂

In an episode that will, I suspect, be of interest only to our friends back home, we meet up with friends in Edinburgh to take part in the DMF trivia night that’s being held in Melbourne. The Euro team take part via the internet. Gotta love technology! Thanks to Anth for running the quiz and everyone else who helped set it up. Was great to see you all.

Also, find out who wins trivia! Will it be us? I hope it’s us.

(Spoiler: It’s us.)

Here Comes The Planet 40 – Iceland 05

by

In our final Iceland video, we take a Superjeep tour, go hiking over a mountain, sledding down a volcano and touch a glacier. I think we can all agree, Iceland is pretty damn rad.

Also, learn how to say Eyjafallajökull! 😀

Here Comes The Planet 39 – Iceland 04

We go back to Jökulsárlón to see the nearby black sand beach, and then continue our travels across Iceland’s stunning landscape.

Also, here are the promised 80’s-hair-metal-band Iceland horses; none, unfortunately, which are fighting. 🙂
