Remember the computer we explained earlier? It is able to 'create' actors on screen that follow the user's commands, it is also able to make intelligent decisions for other actors, so that they interact with yours. With this you can run very complex games, that would otherwise require lots of people, or lots of time to calculate.

A process of baking by which numerous pies are made by having dozens of small children, each trained in only one step of the recipe, are put in a line along the kitchen table and set to work - with one child mixing dough, one rolling it out, one cutting fruit and another folding crusts. Similar principles are also applied to carpentry, smithing and other trades.

Well, it's that metal bird talked about before. This is a special area near the front of the bird where nobility can sit and eat quality meals while watching magic moving pictures. On a side-note: Airplanes are vulnerable to evil warlocks summoning snakes into their interior, causing a man of African decent to vocalize his frustration at the reptiles.

A thin - no, thinner than that - wafer, circular, that demons in boxes can read and make moving pictures and sound and stuff.

A bunch of really sturdy huts stacked on top of and next to each other. Alternatively, a permanent inn?

Plastic surgery.

A process where you give a group of alchemists money so they can morph materials into your body to create the illusion that you are more aesthetically pleasing based on a perpetuated conformist view of attractiveness. Or bigger boobs.

EDIT: FACK

Those things the doctors wore during the plauge? They have those, except they work better and look 24% less scary.

Two Italians, one stout and the other lanky, clad in red and green respectively, who attempt to save a princess from a dragon by stepping on mushrooms and turtles possessed by Satan.

a drama in which a short fat roman and a tall skinny roman defeat an armada fictional greek monsters and rescue the princess of Troy.  Along the way a corpulent monsters try to jump on your head, eat you, and give you magic flutes.
Its basically an epic... like The Divine Comedy.

[edit]

A kingdom made up of fifty smaller kingdoms, where a man is allowed to say anything he wants and gets to vote for a man comittee member who will vote for a king.   This king must contend with two other committees to pass laws and can only rule for 8 years. 
This country welcomes newcomers and maintains the most expensive army in the world.  These things amoung others has made some residents hate their own coutry, and its people somewhat arogant.

Gender determination of a fetus(although to be fair some today fail to grasp this).
