This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

According to the internet the turban fabric is 645 meters long, weighs 100lbs and takes several hours of his day to put on... His neck must look like a question mark lol

If he wears it everyday I imagine he must feel a lot lighter at the end of the day like there's less gravity. Also 100 lb is 45.35924 kg apparently.

So what you're saying is, he's a super saiyan?

He is wearing the correct orange color for Master Roshi's dojo...
