The Ryndex

In the English version of Finding Nemo, Gill says “all drains go to the ocean.”

In the French version of Le Monde de Nemo, he claims “tous les égouts vont à la nature” which means “all drains go to the wild.”

The clever part is that this is very similar to a proverb: “tous les gouts éxistent dans la nature” or “all tastes exist in nature” (or “different strokes for different folks”).

I just thought that was neat.

As for the apartment, I’m quite torn. To tell you the truth, it’s the neglected and grotty entrance that’s bugging me, as if that reveals major structural and emotional problems with the building. Ridiculous? How much more would I pay for the same apartment with a lovely limestone foyer?
