For the 2009 Sequel/Spinoff Series See: The Shak At Home
The Shak is an Australian children's television program broadcast on the Nine Network. Its four hosts, Curio (Drew Jarvis), Nitro (Beau Walker), Picasso (Kendal Nagorcka) and Eco (Jacqueline Duncan) answer viewer questions, queries, dares and challenges in an entertaining and educational manner. Each host's name relates to their personality and the type of stories they present. Viewers send questions and suggestions to the presenters via the shows website.
The series is filmed, for the main part, at a studio resembling a large shed or shack, hence the name, it decorated with all manner of objects. The presenters arrive via a prop of a wave, and exit through a door on the other side of the shack. They are known as 'Shaksters', as are the viewers. Other filming is done at various attractions and locations on the Gold Coast where the Shak is set, with Dreamworld being a regular filming spot.
In 2006, the filming was done at Sea World but since early 2007, filming has been done at Whitewater World theme park. This was explained via an explosion made by Curio, which resulted in the Shaksters moving. and the opening titles were fully animated however in 2007 it was changed to a mix of Live action and animation.
Curio is a municipality in the district of Lugano in the canton of Ticino in Switzerland.
Curio is first mentioned in 1196 as Coira. In 1298 it was mentioned as Cuyri.
During the Middle Ages Curio, Novaggio, Banco and Bedigliora formed a Kastlanei. The first village church, consecrated to St. Peter, was mentioned in 1352. The present church was built in 1609.
Historically, many residents emigrated to foreign countries for work. Some of these emigrant families became quite famous. They include the family Avanzini (notaries, doctors, construction workers) and Visconti (architects and engineers), who worked, from the end of the 18th and over the entire 19th Centuries, in Piedmont and Russia. Their success led them to perform a number of philanthropic works in Curio. In the 19th and at the beginning of the 20th Century, this resulted in a number of charitable foundations. The most significant was the art school, which was founded in 1850. In 1985, the Museum of Malcantone was founded in the old school building.
Vile forms of Necros lie rotting my mind
Feasting like maggots - maggots in flesh
So left your ruined cortex behind
Now the maggot knows glee as it nibbles on your spine!
[Chorus:]
Maggots! Maggots!
Maggots are falling like rain!
Putrid pus-pools vomit blubonic plague
The bowels of the beast reek of puke
How to describe such vileness on the page
World maggot waits for the end of the age!
[Chorus]
Beneath a sky of maggots I walked
Until those maggots began to fall
I gaped at God to receive my gift
Bathed in maggots till the planet shit
[Repeat chorus a lot]
