Maybe if they’ll change the name of the film, they’ll call it Indiana Jones decides not to go to the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull because it is a Silly Place. 
How has this gone 40 posts without becoming another “Indiana Jones and the Elder Stereotype” thread?
I propose instead that we turn it into an Indiana Jones Facts thread.
Indiana Jones was not consumed by the Ark because it feared the repercussions.
Indiana Jones isn’t afraid of snakes. Snakes are afraid of Indiana Jones.
Indiana Jones gets his power from his hat, much like Samson’s hair.
Okay, I got nuthin’…
The standard Latin plural for “penis” is “penes”, and the standard English plural is “penises”. Either is acceptable. “Penii”, though, is just an abomination, resulting from a combination of multiple misconceptions about Latin.
The proper plural for “penis” is “too many penises”.
I thought it was “scrum.”
Not quite a plural, but Diphallia is the medical term for having two on one guy. I guess “Multiphallia” for more than that. Or perhaps specific prefixes for a given quantity: Pentephallia? Octopahallia? Sesquicentephallia?
Pthph…I bet Indy and his party don’t even get past the first room without getting disintegrated.
Indiana Jones to Diphallia in 47 posts.
A side benefit of Diphallia is that in snowy weather, with careful aim, it’s possible to forge a signature.
Heh, reminds me of the battles over the plural of “octopus”.
Indiana Jones and the Tomb of Horrors would ROCK.
No, it’s “legislature”. Or perhaps “law firm”.
Two are called a law firm, three or more become a congress.
Ah, thank you. I know this has come up before but I always forget what the correct form is but still you must admit that “penii” is funnier.
I agree it’s not the best title. I wonder what it’s about, though?
I always liked the concept for the (PC game?) IJ and the Infernal Machine. He fights Communist Russians in the late 50’s for possession of a treasure hidden in the recently discovered ruins of the tower of babyl (a teleporter that works through time, space, and possibly beyond), IIRC. It gets bonus points for being ~15-20 years after the trilogy, just as the movie’s being made ~20-25 years after the trilogy was made, so Harrison’s aging works well (if you ignore the pesky immortality post tLC issue, which I think they’re doing anyways).
Mad props for getting a 1776 reference into an Indiana Jones thread!
The immortality of the grail only worked inside the church/retreat where it resided if I remember right.
I think what the Grail did was heal all wounds, including the minor wear and tear of aging. When Indy drank from it, it cleared out any blockage in his arteries, broke up his gallstones, repaired any genetic damage that might have turned into cancer in thirty years, etc. etc. This makes you effectively immortal, so long as you drink from it regularly, but if you only take the one swallow, like Indy did, it just resets your biological clock. He’s not immortal, but he probably will live to be 130 years old, or something.
I had no idea Strom Thurmond drank from the Holy Grail. Huh.
Not many people know this, but Strom Thurmond’s birth name was Allen Quartermain.
What if on your one drink you hit that bad boy like a frat kid on a beer bong?
