I noticed this forum has an interest in Dragonball popping up across the world, so I thought it might be pretty cool to show screenshots of the absolutely hilarious Bill Bailey on a recent episode of British quiz show QI, sporting a Dragonball T-shirt.
For those who don't know Bill Bailey, I'd definitely look into him, he's an absolutely brilliant, bizarre and rather odd dude, ridiculously intelligent.
Coincidentally on this episode, they also talked about another word for a "halo" being a "nimbus", which was of course FUNimation's dub name for Kintoun
I love humans, always seeing patterns in things that aren't there.

Yeah, it always gives me a little feeling of joy inside when I see someone on TV being a fan of something I am also a fan of. I'm not one of those people that completely idolize celebrities or stand in the crowd holding up boards saying "I LOVE YOU BRITNEY!", but it's nice to be reminded that Dragon Ball's fandom isn't just made up of nerds on the internet, but that other people like it too.
I don't think he's "promoting" DB or anything, though. Bill Bailey's still cool, though.

Holy Hell, I love Bailey but I never knew he was a Dragonball fan...
