I think he said multiple times that he found it very hard to spend his money (for good things) faster than he's still earning it. He was the poster boy for capitalism in the booming tech market when it happened (with all the shitty business practices you can think of), but after he left Microsoft, he's been doing good things and trying to throw as much money as possible on it. He's at a level where his wealth hoarding happens on its own, even if he's not greedy for money. He's not trying to hoard it, he's part of the group of billionaires who keep saying they need to be taxed more.

Dedicated key on an azerty keyboard on tablet/laptop, or switching back to French setting on the phone. If weren't French I woudn't bother searching for it every time.

I can't remember if fiance or fiancee is correct

Fiancé is male, fiancée is female.

The ending theme already shows the main team, it's just Goku, Vegeta, Bulma, Piccolo, Shin, so another 3 people in the second ship. I guess Kibito should be needed because he knows how to get to the demon world, but he'll probably stay back with both ships and not come along (unless Bulma turns it into a capsule first).

Glorio learned about the Z team and Gomah's wish by spying on him, yet he claims he heard everything from another demon king. It's a very odd lie, he doesn't want them to know he was spying? We don't know why he was spying on Gomah in the first place, or if he does come from another demon realm at all, but I expect simple politics between demon realms at this point; if not, he's looking for something by himself and everything is a lie. Other than that, I think Shin is just overly suspicious because Glorio is a demon: Glorio never met any of them anyway, he shouldn't know that anything changed. It may be odd that they are kids (or look like kids at least), but he shouldn't have anything to compare to anyway, so Shin shouldn't have a reason to get suspicious - if not for the fact that we know he's right and Glorio is lying for some reason.

Gomah might be a threat but he doesn't look like final boss material. He might have more political power than actual power, and he'll probably serve to move the plot, like with that third eye thing. The doctor sister is more suspicious, Shin just doesn't know she's involved yet.

Hebrew used a generic word for fruit, all languages translated that word as their version of apple which was generic at the time, and then much later, all languages changed the meaning of their word for apple, it's not specific to French. The use of apple for one specific fruit is fairly recent - more recent than the King James Bible, even.

I don't know what the word in Hebrew is and if it also changed its meaning since then, though.

Momotaro befriends a dog. Momotaro befriends a monkey. Momotaro befriends a pheasant. Momotaro murders a demon king and plunders his fortress island.

But is that a fact

(it's not)

It's a few hundred years later, after the Hittites have disappeared, but Assurnasirpal II claims to have scaled a mountain peak "like the point of an iron dagger" to slaughter everyone inside the fortress at the top. Twice.

Looks like it's the 2015 discovery:

https://etc.worldhistory.org/exhibitions/giglamesh-enkidu-humbaba-cedar-forest-newest-discovered-tablet-v-epic/

It was a handful of extra lines that described the Cedar Forest being much more lively and noisy, acting like a whole royal court, than previous versions. It also showed that the whole tablet was much more recent than previously thought.

I think the joke is this isn't the Lady of the Lake. The guy just saw a sword poking out of the water and thought it was Excalibur, but it isn't. So that's not its scabbard either.

I knew it was Sebastian Stan, but then I watched this (without sound) and couldn't tell if it looked more like Jimmy Fallon or Bill Hader.
