So I was in Mum's library today, and Colin Charvis came in.

Although I could probably count on my fingers how many of you guys know who Colin Charvis is, but there y'go.

(I didn't tell him that I actually supported England, though :p)

I saw Ben Affleck on the way into work.

I'm not boasting. In fact I should probably post this in Negative Events.

I've seen Freddie Flintoff and the England cricket squad in passing. And no, it wasn't at a cricket match :p

I saw Ben Affleck on the way into work.

I'm not boasting. In fact I should probably post this in Negative Events.how on earth did you know? he has such a generic "pretty boy" face that it's almost painful.

You forget where I work. I see a lot of Celebrities. And Ben Affleck.

You forget where I work. I see a lot of Celebrities. And Ben Affleck.well yes, but either way. his face is so unbearably generic it'd be hard to tell who he was unless there was some overly obsessed fan girl screaming his name

It's a lot easier to tell who Colin Charvis is (if you already know what he looks like, anyway).

And probably more unlikely to see him in Clydach Library than Ben Affleck at Disney.

Ben Affleck? Isn't he Matt Damon?

So I was in Mum's library today, and Colin Charvis came in.

Because of a meme?perhaps it was more hilarious because of the actual character than I realized? :confused:

Without knowing the background of that comic, it really is tremendously ordinary.

but anyway, what's with today's thread title? did heroes start up again?

I'd never heard of the theremin before, but now I am tremendously intrigued (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6bSRcRAhnc&NR=1).

Check out [this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkiBn5ReRsw)] to see Bill Bailey playing the Theremin (they start talking about the Theremin about the 5:20 mark, but the stuff beforehand is very funny).

Hello.

I haven't been around for a while. :/

I'd never heard of the theremin before, but now I am tremendously intrigued (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6bSRcRAhnc&NR=1).

I've seen Elvis Costello play one. Also Bill Bailey and Jonathan Ross, but that was on TV.

The Costello gig was strange and excellent. There was this little aerial sticking out of a keyboard and we were saying to each other "that cannot be a theremin". The idea of Elivs Costello using a theremin was just strange to me, but then he did.

It went on for hours, and sometimes there was no microphone. Also he spent a long time singing mostly to a good-looking girl off to one side.

Hello.

I haven't been around for a while. :/

'Allo !

I just installed a 20-some Helvetica fonts. Now I can make awesome posters! :cool:

WOW! I just recieved the most disturbing e-mail I've ever seen before!

WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR ANY
U.S.
PRESIDENT, DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN GIVE THE FOLLOWING
SPEECH?
'My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of the
Iraq regime has been completed.

Since congress does not want to
spend any more money on this war, our mission in
Iraq is complete.

This morning I gave the order for a complete
removal of all American forces from Iraq This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now time to
begin the reckoning.


Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the
names of countries which h ave stood by our side during the
Iraq conflict. This list is short . The
United Kingdom , Spain , Bulgaria , Australia , and Poland are some of the countries listed there.

The other list
contains every one not on the first list. Most of the world's nations are on
that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later
this evening.

Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign
aid to those nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money
saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the
Iraqi war.. THEN EVERY YEAR THERE AFTER IT'll GO TO OUR SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM
SO IT WONT GO BROKE IN 20 YEARS.

The American people are no longer going to pour money into
third world Hell holes and watch those government leaders grow fat on
corruption.

Need help with a famine ? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call
France .

In the future, together with Congress, I will work to
redirect this money toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at
home On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Screw with us and we will
hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the
earth.

Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try
France or maybe China .

I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic
relations with France , Germany , and Russia . Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring from NATO
as well. Bonne chance, mezamies.

I have instructed the Mayor of
New York City to begin towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles located in
Manhattan with more than two unpaid parking tickets to sites where those
vehicles will be stripped, shredded and crushed. I don't care about whatever
treaty pertains to this. You creeps have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets.
Pay those tickets tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers and limos be
turned over to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love New
York

A special note to our neighbors.
Canada is on List 2. Since we are likely to be seeing a lot more of each
other, you folks might want to try not ****ing us off for a
change.

Mexico
is also on List 2 its president and his entire corrupt government really need an
attitude adjustment. I will have a couple extra thousand tanks and infantry
divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to put 'em? Yep, border
security.

Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty - starting
now.

We are tired of the one-way highway. Immediately, we'll
be drilling for oil in Alaska- which will take care of this country's oil needs for decades to
come. If you're an environmentalist who opposes this decision, I refer you to
List 2 above: pick a country and move there.

It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. Some will
accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying, 'darn
tootin.'

Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent
life around the world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about
everyone on the planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in
America It is time to eliminate homelessness in
America . To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thank you guys. We
owe you and we won't forget.

To
the nations on List 2, a final thought: You might want to learn to speak
Arabic.

God bless America

Also, regarding weather, it's freaking hot over here. D:
All my kisses chocolates are melted. D:

It's been very hot up here, too. Cooled down the past few days, though, which is good for exam purposes.

So I went to pick up the last payment check thing (I know it has a name, y'know how companies are supposed to give you an extra amount of money after you quit or get fired?) from my previous job, and there was this Particularly Obnoxious ***** that was also supposed to get a last payment check thing and apparently was supposed to receive this a month ago, and she takes things Way Too Seriously that she is now going to sue them, because, and I quote "now a child has gone blind as a direct consequence of this situation" (Apparently she is involved in some association that works to bring care to children, and apparently it was Very Important that she was at another place today because otherwise this kid wouldn't be authorized an eye surgery and she couldn't be there because she had to come get her check, because obviously this was so much more important than anything else) and also because she has been deeply offended after she was told by one of the employees there that she is not too smart. And also because in a previous occasion they had security take her out because she was refusing to leave. So basically she wouldn't let the girl handling the payments do her work until she attended her first, because Justice had to be done! And not only was she expecting her to hand her the check (which she agreed to do) she was also expecting her to listen to all her ramblings about how they weren't doing their work right, and how they weren't doing their work right, and how a kid is now blind, and how they weren't doing their work right, and how she was going to sue them, and how they weren't doing their work right, and... well this goes on forever. The problem here is that she hadn't signed her resignation yet, they require you to sign this document about how the company doesn't owe you anything anymore, how you willingly chose to quit the job, etc etc, and she was refusing to sign this.
So a simple thing as me going, signing check as received and getting out took about an hour and a half because this HUGE INJUSTICE HAD TO BE SOLVED FIRST.

ALL HAIL THE JUSTICE LEAGUE!

I hope that the poor, poor, blind child is now going to sue her.

I seriously cannot imagine a situation in which one single person from one single company not being present at an event would cause a child to go blind much less a situation in which the person in question would not show up to said event....

I love people

Obviously the woman wanted to make herself seem like the white knight up on her high horse and all she managed was to make herself look stupid.

Happy Towel Day everybody!

I had to be reminded a couple days ago.

But we've more than made up for it in the IRC channel by using wet towels instead of the usual trouts to slap each other with. I also wore one over my shoulder during our dinner at a restaurant, but it might have been too small for anyone to notice. :rolleyes:

Or a bathroom boy.

The towel wasn't white! I dread to think of restaurants where the waiters, or bathroom boys for that matter, wear red, and I most certainly wouldn't dine in one.

Seeing as that person was now sporting a picture of himself(and what appears to be his girlfriend) and also sports about a couple dozen other people as friends and leaving corny comments on his profile, I realized this is an actual person rather than just spam. But I still have no freaking clue who he is. I'm quite certain I have never ever seen him. Ever.

Hi,

Umm.. awkward and hypothetical question here, what if... how do I phrase this.. Lets say a "friend" of mine was "pleasuring himself" in the middle of working on upgrading his PC, with the card on the table, he made a "mess" of the card. After the reinstall, the card no longer works, while it was working perfectly before, my "friend" is curious what kind of damage would seminary fluid do to the GPU in question? It was all over the card and on the fan, is it possible the fan itself sucked the fluid into the main GPU and short circuited it? Remember before this card was working 100% and my "friend" observed nothing else out of the ordinary besides the *****.

Advice? can my "friend" return this card? warranty? anything "he" can do to repair it?This is quickly followed by pages of laughter, speculation, puns and one-liners.

I had an idea for a comic similar to this, but more focused on the horrible caricatures of OD members' antics. I didn't draw it because a) I was afraid people would think I was trying to make a point (rather than just drawing a stupid comic) and b) I couldn't be bothered.:p

Posting from my sisters new iPod touch :cool:
She got it thanks to me. :cool:

Whoopee doo.

Back on my Mac.
Anyway, I devised a plan to get it for myself a few days ago. Since my sister wanted an i-Pod, I tought "Hey, I'll get a touch and give her the one I have!". But of course, the Touch is expensive(32 GB model). So I tought "Hey, maybe I can get someone else to cover part of that cost". So I started manipulating my aunt. >:3 My sister believes they (my aunts) have more of a preference for us (me and my brother) than her, since we tend to get more expensive gifts from them. The thing is, when my sister is asked what she would like for a present, she tends to only ask for not expensive, stuff she actually needs, because she doesn't want to ask for much. Me and my brother don't care if we're receiving too much, we aim high. We are scum. :cool:
So I reminded my aunt that my sister only got a backpack on her birthday on january, and that she probably deserves a better present considering what me and my brother usually get. So I told her I could get an iPod Touch for myself and give my sister my iPod if she helped me with part of the cost of the Touch. She was ok with the idea, so we had the guy that got me the Wii from the US to get us an iPod Touch.
However, I didn't get away with it, since my sister ended up choosing to keep the Touch instead. :p
I wasn't counting on that since my sister had told me before that she hated the idea of a touch screen and preferred an iPod Classic. :P

Oh well, it still works for me since I get to test it whenever she lets me burrow it and it actually ended up not costing me a bit. Hoho.
:p

I think I'm going to attempt yet another Soldat mod, this one using entirely original futuristic weapons that I've been slowly inventing over the past while. It'll probably suck, and I don't know where I'll get sound effects, but I'll probably give it a shot just for the sake of trying.

Modding Soldat can be such a pain in the ass sometimes. I wonder why I keep wanting to do it.

hehe! well apparently my comic isn't causing any suspicion at all. so much so that they're suggesting we made an OD :p

I laughed.

I didn't.

what's that from?

From Rapidshare, same as Bloopy's. (only he's a premium user and I'm not :p)

I couldn't manage to do that when I had one like it, all the squiggles were far too small to tell what was meant to be a cat.

Are you implying that RapidShare punish their premium users with ridiculous mathematical CAPTCHAs? The sentence from their site is "No Premium User..."

I was merely serving a dish of copy pasta by the way.

i was hoping that maybe it was actually part of rapidshare because it would be awesome - every time they'd just serve up a captcha that you didn't have to solve

newsflash: nobody gives a ****

Recently, a friend of ours, Simon, moved to Over, just North of Cambridge, UK. He was moving to a lovely property, with a nice garden and a pond.

Simon wasn’t so keen on the pond though. It’s not very child friendly, and with two young ones running around the garden, he thought it would be safer to get rid of it.

A few buckets and hours of sweating later, Simon lifted the pond lining to discover a laminated piece of paper sitting at the bottom of the gaping hole that once was the previous owner’s pond.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2179/2536237662_a6fe22700e.jpg

Whoever created this, come forward. You’re weird and you’re funny. And you’re creeping the hell out of us!


For those who don’t want to read the image, here’s the full text. I waited for someone else to type it up, since I couldn’t be bothered - I think they call that crowdsourcing?

10th July 2003

To whom it may concern:

If you are reading this then I can only assume that you have removed the pond under which this note was buried.

Of course, as I am not around at the moment, I am not in a position to comment on why you may have chosen to remove the pond and, it is fair to say, that there could be any number of reasons for doing so. I will not try to list those potential reasons right now but there could be quite a lot of them. One of the more bizarre reasons could be that the removal of the pond was the direct result of a bite on the ankle from a Wildebeest, but I shall not speculate.

Anyways, I would like you to be aware that the digging of this pond and it’s subsequent filling with water and stocking with fish and aquatic plants took a considerable amount of personal effort. It’s not just the digging of the hole you know (although clearly that is a major part), but also the consideration that had to be given to the sitting of the pond, its shape and size, its location close to a convenient electrical supply, etc etc etc.

I have to admit that I am a bit miffed about all this. You have just destroyed (yes, I know its a strong word to use but there are principles involved here) something that took me a long time to do. If I came along and destroyed something that it had taken a long time for you to do then I think you would be a bit miffed as well, so just think on that.

Enough of this. Just get on with what it is you think you are doing, you snivelling pond destroyer.

Oh, and by the way, I hope your head falls off.

My friend just told me that the two main male characters of popular anime "Naruto" are going to become a couple. I don't really care about anime particularly but if this has any truth to it I'd really like to know about it. I'm sure someone here watches it or at least pays better attention to this sort of thing than I do.

If there's truth to this, that's what I expect will happen too. I find it sad, not that it would mean the end of Naruto which I don't really care about, but that that is the kind of thing that people think we have to censor. The idea of a homosexual relationship in an immensely popular kids show is super intriguing. I just kind of wish it wasn't Naruto because, hey, at this point in time, who HASN'T envisioned Sasuke and Naruto amidst the throes of passion?

Highly unlikely. Currently in the manga they are about to fight each other, or so it seems. Besides, given all tha thas been shown they consider each other as brothers.

Is that a coloboma (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coloboma) on both sides? :-/
Or are you using contact lenses?

10 points for Mr. Bonz. It's a really rare scenario where part of my iris just plain never developed, and even rarer because they aren't exactly symmetrical. Only on the bottom, there, so not quite cat/lizard/whathaveyou eyes, but I do get that a lot. To answer Pikkul, yeah, the effect is pretty drastic. I can see very far downwards, although a lot of it is peripheral; I can be looking straight ahead and barely see the movement of my feet as I walk. That's the good news. The bad news is that I'm extremely sensitive to light. I have to squint on cloudy days.

Although my vision is reasonably sharp, I believe this is related to my needing glasses; the vision part of my brain, naturally, expects the pupils to be round and not keyhole-ish, so they don't know how to focus just right.

Lastly, I'm very fortunate that this happened only to my iris. Had the same thing occurred on something like the lens or retina, I would have been born blind. They weren't sure if I would ever see for a couple of days after I was born.

That's neat.
Though, that seems like a weird word to use for something like that. "Interesting"?

Anyway, if I ever draw your sigworm again, I guess I have another trait to add. :p

Hey, you could take a better picture of your eyes and upload it to the Wikipedia entry for coloboma.

Then again, I barely ever try, given the lack of pretty ladies in the vicinity.

Being profane in order to upset wasn't my intention. It was a play on words, and I judged that using the actual words or ones that closely matched the pronouncements would emphasise the joke better than allowing asterisks to take their place.

This is insane.

This guy is telling people that he was hired as a game tester for Gran Turismo HD a year or so ago, and he reacted too quickly for the programming, so the engine was pushed to the limit, making it harder and harder for him to react to it. The physics engine kept improving and he kept pushing himself to conquer it, and eventually he apparently thought at the speed of light and saw god.
But then he's kicked off the project, and the "company owned by Kazonori Yamauchi is making money off God’s image", so we should stop playing video games. (!?)

As awesome a tit-typing probably is I was typing with my eyes closed.

"i am posting" went well.

I went one to the left on the W, then right on the Y and the entire word 'eyes',except the S, which I went to the left of: "eith mu rurd"

"cvloderf." happened because I hit the C and V together, went one to the right of the S, then hit the R with the E and finally went left of the D.

And this has been why I shouldn't post with my eyed fu5r4tm.

although i started this post on home row with my eyes open i immediatly closed them and typed the entire thing with my eyes closed. i am seriously wondering how well this went.

fake edit: hell yes.

typing with one's eyes closed is remarkably easy - i don't understand what everyone is making a fuss about

(that was typed with my eyes closed, of course)

doesn't seem like it would be a big deal to tyupe like this. I know I at least don't ever look at the keys themselves. granted, I know I've made a mistake and can't edit it now, but that's the only real problem I see with typing like this.

so yeah, editing doesn't go very well but aside from that typing with closed eyes is rather easy :p

Typed with my eyes closed. Only a couple of minor mistakes but nothing too bad. :cool:

The cazy thing about typing without lo0oking is that it's rearkably easy if you've been typing for a while already. It's just a vase of remembering where the keys are.

Bugger, a few noticable mistakes. In my defense, I'm using my laptop - I imagine I'd be better with an actual keyboard.

Then I have to remember where every other key is.

Although that's not the biggie. I mean, I can do the whole "look at the screen while typing" thing, I'm doing it now. But with my eyes shut, I can't check what I've just written and edit it.

Generally, our numbers are formatted as follows:

01234 567 890

However, with the addition of "02" numbers for London and other areas (most UK landlines begin 01 with a 5 digit "SDT" code, then a 3 digit "area" code and then the final 3 digits for that specific phone), different formatting has been adopted for 02 numbers, to make them read slightly better. Mobiles always start 07 and have their own random formatting :p

Yes.

I suppose I should share my US number as well, considering. Otherwise I'm excluding an entire continent.
