I don't know why, but afros have always been extremely amusing. Part of that for me might have to do with how exotic they are to me -- I'm very Irish, certainly some of us can get really curly hair but it's nothing like that, I inherited the "wavy" gene apparently and I could never pull off that hair style.
What era is this from? Heh, I suppose I'll see if I can find this and watch it.
I enjoyed the Greek mythology and history portion of the their little crazy link-following game.
