On the latest Grey’s episode, (spoiler after this) the patient is called John Doe. I didn’t get why Meredith said that John Doe is George. Turns out “The name "John Doe" is used as a placeholder name for a male party, in a legal action, case or discussion, whose true identity is either unknown or must be withheld for legal reasons. The name is also used to refer to a male corpse or hospital patient whose identity is unknown. This practice is widely used in theUnited States and Canada, but is rare in other English-speaking countries (including the United Kingdom itself, from where it probably originates – see "Origin" below). In the United States, the term John Doe is sometimes used to refer to a generic male. On various forms, the first name listed is often John Doe, along with a fictional address or other fictional information, to provide an example of how to fill out the form.”-wiki

And look what Wikipedia said about the Singaporean equivalent- “In humour, everyday equivalents are either: Tan Ah Kow and Tan Ah Beng.”

LOL. I doubt they use it in court though. Haha.

“Hard to imagine a more undignified gig for a band of Weezer's stature - supporting their lesser, dumber imitators, the newly reformed Blink 182, at a T-Mobile gig at Hollywood's Paramount Studios (May 14).

Still, Rivers Cuomo made the most of the situation, treating a pretty joyless crowd to a sprightly cover of MGMT's 'Kids', before seguing into a briefer, and slightly more shambolic, burst of Lady GaGa's 'Poker Face' - and acknowledging the slightly tawdry nature of the performance with an acidly sarcastic shout-out: "T-Mobile in the houuuse!" “-NME

I have no idea why but Weezer reminds me so much of The Killers in this video. And some ah.. interesting comments on the Youtube site of this video. Lol.

Check out Joel Madden singing in Italian:

The song’s not bad too anyway. I like Joel the blonde. Haha.
