Male stereotypes are also misrepresented in video games. They are seen as strong, violent, and crude.

Visitors ! Duke the dewback and Tom the tauntaun made their way to the steps to Bonnie's basement apartment. I left the photos unedited and with the original titles.
The dewback is a creature featured in Star Wars: A New Hope. Native to the desert planet Tatooine it served as transport for the Imperial forces. A massive reptile over two metres tall, it derived its name from a habit of licking morning dew from its back.
The tauntaun is a Star Wars creature native to the artic world of Hoth. It is a large biped with reptilian and mammalian traits that was used by the rebel forces as transportation.
I find it somewhat amusing that these creatures were employed as some of the high tech vehicles of Star Wars failed to function in these planets' extreme environment. I surmise our Toyota HiLux ( Tacoma over here) truck would run well on either planet.

Duke & Thelonious est un voyage créatif, à la fois joyeux et exigeant, qui se vit comme une fête, comme un pas de danse, comme une course poursuite funambulesque effrénée à travers les joyaux du jazz.
Spécialistes des réinterprétations — souvenez-vous de l’hommage à Georges Brassens — et des recréations musicales de tous genres, Denis Charolles et ses comparses s’acoquinent avec deux monstres sacrés, deux grands pianistes et compositeurs : Duke Ellington et Thelonious Monk. Ellington, alias the Duke, c’est l’élégance faite swing et mélodie, la luxuriance du Big Band. Thelonious Monk, c’est l’originalité absolue, l’âpreté faite poésie. Une mélodie, un rythme et c’est notre mémoire qui s’affole : In a sentimental Mood, Crépuscule With Nellie, Epistrophy, Sophisticated Lady, Braggin’n Brass, Concerto for Cottie !
Les musiques à ouïr, l’un des ensembles les plus déjantés de l’Hexagone, vit la musique avec un appétit féroce qui se propage comme une onde. La puissance du swing, encore une fois, bouscule le public qui bascule, sans retenue, dans la fête.

The Duke of Lancaster is a railway steamer passenger ship that operated in Europe from 1956 to 1979, and is currently beached near Mostyn Docks, on the River Dee, north-east Wales. It replaced an earlier 3,600 ton ship of the same name operated by the London Midland and Scottish Railway company between Heysham and Belfast.
The Lancaster was sold to Liverpool based company Empirewise Ltd, who intended her to be used as a static leisure centre and market. She arrived at her new home at Llanerch-y-Mor, near Mostyn, on 10 August 1979. The ship was brought into a permanent dock and the hull was sealed — not in concrete, as is commonly thought, but surrounded by a large tonnage of sand pulled out of the Dee estuary. Known as "The Fun Ship", it was also possible to visit her bridge and engine room. Conversion for use as a 300-room hotel did not appear to go beyond the preliminary planning stage. Its use as "The Fun Ship" was relatively short-lived and it was subsequently closed to the public because access to the ship is via a bridge under the North Wales railway line, which is too low for emergency vehicles. Over time, the vessel has become increasingly derelict.
The ship was later used as a warehouse by its owners Solitaire Liverpool Ltd, a clothing company registered to the same address as Empirewise Ltd. Despite rumours that the ship would be scrapped, the company stated that they have no plans either to sell it or to restore it and its current use is uncertain.
Despite having large amounts of its exterior paintwork covered in red-leading, the interior of the ship is in very good condition. It was featured in the 2011 series of BBC2's Coast.
