If you're worried about homophones, don't study Japanese

Obligatory RRJ link. Warning: if you know any Japanese this might undo a lot of it.

Some times I wonder if some cosmic aliens had a debate about how many collisions one language can have. One of them probably said: “Hold my beer. Give me a planet and 10 million years. I’ll prove you wrong.”

All that stuff about pyramids being built by aliens was probably just that one alien trying to win a bet by messing around with earth. Maybe Japanese was the end result of that bet.
