1) A swami-salami is a character from the Powerpuff girls, he was a turban wearing snake charmer, but instead of charming snakes, he had a string of sausages, hence the salami reference.
2) I have been officially studying animation for 3 years now, but I have been into it even as a small child (like most of us). I made my first animations in a very simple program at age 11, they were like sprites or pixel-art characters.
I got a pair of those for my girlfriend for her birthday. They sound really good. I've read that the Skullcrushers just have powered drivers, but the actual bass response isn't that good.
