Regardless of what those hippie parents try to tell you, size matters and even babies know it. According to this intriguing study, psychologists found that infants less than one year old understand social dominance and how size factors into it:
"Traditional kings and chieftains sit on large, elevated thrones and wear elaborate crowns or robes that make them look bigger than they really are, and subordinates often bow or kneel to show respect to superior humans and gods," says Thomsen, a research fellow in Harvard's Department of Psychology and assistant professor of psychology at the University of Copenhagen. "Many animals, like birds and cats, will puff themselves up to look physically larger to an adversary, and prostrate themselves to demonstrate submission, like dogs do. Our work suggests that even with limited socialization, preverbal human infants may understand such displays."

At least if he forgets the words, who's gonna know?
Also, it's spelled duct tape.
...But what a waste of talent.... - With such capabilities, this guy could be an ultimate multilinguist if there ever was one instead of squandering his abilities on rapping in a fake language...
'I will warn you that if you just don’t like the tone, beats, sound of ethnic music you really wont like hip hop in general, however that would make you a typical bigot.'
Are you serious? So if I don't like classical music does that make me bigoted against white Europeans? What a stupid statement.
I don't think I could eat the amount I want to barf.
We also need a future international language. One which is easy to learn, as well !
And that's not English ! Esperanto ? Let's move forward :)
At least Bill Shatner speaks Esperanto. Please confirm at http//www.lernu.net
