Manga download

There are numerous manga websites that have English translations of Kenji (Manga), but I would love to download the entire series to read offline. Does anyone know of a website that offers such a download? Thanks. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 06:25, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

I don't see any legal means to do so. If you wish to take the extra-legal route, I leave that to you. Mingmingla (talk) 17:42, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

I've tried a few extra-legal ways, and can't find whole sets. The best I can recommend is rightclicking and saving the images from one of the websites you've found (presuming they're like the ones I found). Tedious, I'll admit. InedibleHulk (talk) 19:11, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

You can expect to be visited by Officer Obie in the near future. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 21:24, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

I may be guilty of copying that which shall not be copied, but never anime-style stuff. The tentacles aren't so bad, but the eyes bother me. Purely theoretical, officer! InedibleHulk (talk) 20:29, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Freida Pinto

I was just talking about Slumdog Millionaire with a mate of mine, and we started talking about the older actress who plays Latika, and we couldn't remember her name, so I looked it up. I understand she was born in India, but her name sounds decidedly Italian. Her parents are Sylvia and Frederick. What are their nationalities?

Pinto "is a Portuguese surname, also existent in Spanish and Italian languages. Some Indians, especially people whose family originated from Portuguese Goa, also bear this name." It's also a very common name in Sri Lanka, along with Silva (and its variants), Perera (ditto), Fernando and some others. These come from Portuguese colonial influence, and to a lesser extent Spanish, but there's been little Italian involvement in South Asia afaik. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 19:53, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

I once met a Dravidian with the surname Carlos. "Portuguese ancestor?" "Portuguese priest." —Tamfang (talk) 22:19, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

See Portuguese India. Many native Indian people, especially those with Christian traditions, have Portuguese names. The Portuguese left a pretty big impact in some parts of India, especially the western coast, such places as Mangalore, Goa, and Kerala. See Goan Catholics and Mangalorean Catholics for some background. Besides Freida Pinto, other Indians with Portuguese names include Dinesh D'Souza and Leander Paes. --Jayron32 03:21, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
