Michio Kaku spiraled in and out
yesterday and today – first as a co-passenger in Miniverse (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6776808/

Hayao Miyazaki has worked with
Toei Studios, who created Interstella 5555, Daft Punk’s Discovery album’s

the kettle is boiling.”

Apropos the Thames meander,
rowing is both hands on one oar while sculling is one hand on each of a pair of
oars.
