Picture of the day edit

There wasn't any space to place this on my lookup... -_-0

De Viron Castle is a castle in the town of Dilbeek in Flemish Brabant, Belgium. Commissioned by the de Viron family, which settled in Dilbeek in 1775, the castle was built in 1863 by Jean-Pierre Cluysenaar. The Tudor-style castle was built on the ruins of a 14th-century fortification that was destroyed in 1862. One of the medieval towers, the Sint-Alenatoren, can still be seen in the park surrounding the current building and is named after Saint Alena, who lived in Dilbeek. The castle has served as the town hall of Dilbeek and housed the offices of the municipality since 1923, and was listed as a Belgian protected monument in 1990. This photograph shows the facade of De Viron Castle with the surrounding park in the foreground.Photograph credit: Benoit Brummer

Episodes of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya edit

The episodes of the anime have a bit of an odd numbering system, and many of the episodes seem to be aired in an anachronic order. The earliest example of this is the fact that episode two is generally considered the real episode one. During the previews for the next episode, the viewers are always given two different numbers for the following episode. One number from Kyon, who lists the episode numbers in the order in which they aired, and one number from Haruhi, who numbers the episodes according to where they actually fit chronologically in the plot.
