If you remember Zero Wing, you'll also remember those “Engrish” subtitles that gave birth to the internet legend of “All Your Base Are Belong To Us”. Now they've been set to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody for the perfect synergy of geek and ... er.. geek. Witness All Your Base Rhapsody.

Regretfully, this is one of the last videos this guy ever shot

"Sixty is the worst age to be," said the 60-year-old man. "You always feel like you have to pee and most of the time you stand there and nothing comes out."
"Ah, that's nothin," said the 70-year-old. "When you're seventy, you don't have a bowel movement any more. You take laxatives, eat bran, sit on the toilet all day and nothin' comes out!"
"Actually," said the 80-year -old, "Eighty is the worst age of all."
"Do you have trouble peeing, too?" asked the 60-year old.
"No, not really I pee every morning at 6:00. I pee like a racehorse on a flat rock; no problem at all."
"So, do you have a problem with your bowel movement?"
"No, I have one every morning at 6:30."
With great exasperation, the 60-year-old said, "Let me get this straight. You pee every morning at 6:00 and have a movement every morning at 6:30. So what's so bad about being 80?"
"I don't wake up until 7:00."

I/O Brush ?? ...

How cool is this - I/O Brush is a new drawing tool to explore colors, textures, and movements found in everyday materials by "picking up" and drawing with them. I/O Brush looks like a regular physical paintbrush but has a small video camera with lights and touch sensors embedded inside. Outside of the drawing canvas, the brush can pick up color, texture, and movement of a brushed surface. On the canvas, artists can draw with the special "ink" they just picked up from their immediate environment.
There are many paint/drawing programs on the market today that are designed especially for kids. These let kids do neat things, but kids usually end up playing only with the "preprogrammed" digital palette the software provides. The idea of I/O Brush is to let the kids build their own ink.

BSkyB has agreed to buy broadband provider Easynet for £211m to help it expand into the fast-growing market for high-speed Internet connections. It is to pay 175 pence in cash for each Easynet share, a 38% premium to their closing price on Thursday.
The deal is expected to allow it to offer broadband, video-on-demand and telephony services to customers. This will put it in head-to-head competition with the merging cable companies NTL and Telewest, as well as BT.
The deal had been widely tipped in the City, Easynet confirming several days ago that it had received an approach from a potential suitor. Early reports had predicted that BSkyb, the UK's biggest pay-television company, could pay up to £150m.
In early September Easynet reported a small rise in first-half underlying core profit. The firm added at the time that it expected to post a net profit in 2006.
Underlying core profits from continuing operations rose to £3.3m for the six months to June 30, against £3.2m 12 months earlier. Revenues rose by 12% to £77.1m and Easynet said it was cash flow positive in the second quarter.
James Murdoch, chief executive of BSkyB, said: "Today's offer reflects the exciting opportunities that now exist to combine quality entertainment with significant high-speed connections." He added the deal gave BSkyB access to an IT network covering around 50 towns and cities in the UK, which was similar to the footprint of Telewest. The target was to have equipment in 1,000 exchanges and access to 75% of homes around the country.

Brian, The world expert on European wasps and the sounds that they make, is taking a stroll down his local high street. As he passes by the record shop, a sign catches his eye. "Just Released - New LP - Wasps of the World & the sounds that they make - available now"
Unable to resist the temptation, Brian goes into the shop. "I am the world expert on European wasps and the sounds that they make. I'd very much like to listen to the new LP you have advertised in the window."
"Certainly, Sir," says the young man behind the counter. "If you'd like to step into the booth and put on the headphones, I'll put the LP on for you."
Brian, world expert on European wasps, goes into the booth and puts on the earphones. Ten minutes later, he comes out of the booth andannounces, "I am the World expert on European wasps and the sounds that they make and yet I recognised none of those."
"I'm sorry Sir", says the young assistant. "If you'd care to step into the booth, I can let you have another 10 minutes."
Brian, The world expert on European wasps and the sounds they make, steps back into the booth and replaces the headphones. Ten minutes later, he comes out of the booth shaking his head. "I don't understand it", he says, "I am the world expert on European wasps and the sounds that they make, and yet I still can't recognise any of those!"

"I really am terribly sorry", says the young assistant...

made me giggle ...

Jim and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Jim suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there. Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled Jim out.
When the Director of Nursing became aware of Edna's heroic act, she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.
When she went to tell Edna the news, she said: "Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged. Since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of another patient, I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness.
The bad news is that Jim, the patient you saved, hung himself in his bathroom with the belt of his robe right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead."

Edna replied; "He didn't hang himself; I put him there to dry.How soon can I go home??

another theory ...

What we know:

The numbers 4,8,15,16,23,42
The alarm needs to be reset every 108 minutes
The job is a 2 man job, not a 1 not a 3 a specifically 2 man job
If the system is not reset its the end of the world in some way. They're guarding something.

The theory:

4+8+15+16+23+42 = 108 - No surprise there
108 * 2 = 216 Number of minutes number of people needed to monitor the system

216 = 6*6*6

What are they guarding?

more lost ... ...

The idea was they were drugged by the plane gas masks and laid down on the island to wake up. The idea also suggested that the debris of the plane on the island was another plane and a complete simulation as part of an extravagant experiment. I don't know if I buy the theory or not. I know if this show ended tomorrow and that was the plot, I'd be very upset with that. Sort of a total recall moment

Lost ...

excellent flash movie set to a "version" of Bohemian Rhapsody


is that the Dharma logo on the plane (screen capture from episode 3)


The project is a psychological experiment...There was no plane crash ... the "survivors" are part of a "lord of the flies" type experiement...to see how people react in stressful situations...I'd bet that Walt isn't even anybody's son. They were all "placed" on the island with post hypnotic or drug induced suggestions that they were survivors.
The experiement is some type of sociological test to see how people form groups, leaders and how they interact. Of course this can all be found out and then the experiment collapses leaving them truly trapped.
I agree with this theory 100%. It is the only one I have thought about or read about that doesnt have any holes.
I think it might also be possible that they are arent even on an island but in a lab hooked up to machines. Some psychology experiment.
I believe that the flashbacks, their memories, are implanted to give each subject a particular personality.
It might explain the inconsistancies such as Hurley's lotto ticket being different in 2 different scenes. And also the cloth Jack had on his left arm in the episode where Boone dies being on his right arm in one scene. These could be minor details that the people running the experiment dont bother with.
The biggest hole in the story for me is the fact that 70 or so people could have survived a crash in a plane that was torn apart in mid air. Some with hardly more than a scratch.
Its a bit far fetched I agree but with this show...who knows

its Friday ...

A fully submersible watercraft that is designed to mimic the look and abilities of our beloved aquatic counterpart, the dolphin. The Dolphin, originally patented as a VASH (variable attitude submersible hydrofoil), was invented by Thomas Rowe in 1987 with his Dolphin, Noland 1. On September 7, 1992 it became the first lighter than water vehicle to ever successfully "fly" underwater. This groundbreaking craft proved the concept of underwater flight, and paved the way for a new form of aquatic transportation.
The Dolphin has full 3-axis control (pitch, roll and yaw) much like an airplane. This allows the Dolphin to perform numerous tricks, not possible with any other watercraft today. These tricks include:

- Prolonged snorkel dives of 15 seconds at 20 mph

- Dipping below the water and then jumping clear out of the water

- Porpoising like a Dolphin

- Barrel rolls and multiple roll overs

- Mid air rolls with inverted landings

- Pitching straight down and popping up backwards

- Planeing at 30 mph with the canopy fully open

- Diving underneath a rubber raft or prop boat

funnies ...

ok it may be feminine humour but its good ...

My boyfriend, not happy with my mood swings, bought me a mood ring the other day so he would be able to monitor my moods. When I'm in a good mood it turns green. When I'm in a bad mood it leaves a big fucking red mark on his forehead. Maybe next time he'll buy me a diamond.

My husband came home with a tube of KY jelly and said, "This will make you happy tonight." He was right. When he went out of the bedroom, I squirted it all over the doorknobs. He couldn't get back in.

He said - Since I first laid eyes on you, I've wanted to make love to you really badly. She said - Well, you've succeeded.

He said 'Shall we try swapping positions tonight?'.
She said 'That's a good idea... you stand by the ironing board while I sit on the sofa and fart'.

Lost is no longer just a TV series ...

Last week, we looked at The Hanso Foundation at http://www.thehansofoundation.org, the fictional web site of the company who built the Bunker on the island. Interesting but not too deep.
Well, it turns out that is you add an “s” to the url to access a secure server, you get a completely different experience - https://www.thehansofoundation.org. A url, which leads you here. A polar bear, a spaceship sound, a wierd soundtrack, and a morse code title that translates to “a long time ago, on an island far, far away”.
And then, if you add an “S” to THAT website, you get this, which looks to me like something just waiting to be hacked.

look out Apple ...

After the news yesterday that Apple has quadrupled its quarterly profits, thanks to global sales of more than 6.5 million of its iPod music players over the past three months the competition is hotting up...

Last summer Patrick had this thought, "Wouldn't it be cool if there was an MP3 player that looked like a PEZ dispenser?" You see, I had been reading this article about a guy who had turned an Altoids tin into iPod speakers. Out of curiousity I thought I would ask PEZ if they might be willing to license their brand for such a thing. To my astonishment they didn't think I was crazy. Fast forward a year, a bank loan, a family loan, some nagging doubts, a lot of late, late nights, and a lot of diapers. Now it is here. The PEZ MP3 player.
If you are looking for an MP3 player that is a little different.... If you love PEZ... If you like the idea of a stay-at-home dad, working out of his basement, taking on the giants of Cupertino, Tokyo, and Seoul... If you love independent music, podcasts, blogs, maverick ideas, and doing it yourself... This is the MP3 player for you. (full story here)

free sky perhaps ...

Satellite broadcaster BSkyB is understood to be planning to use up to £1bn to buy its way into the broadband telephony market in a direct challenge to the former telecoms monopoly BT.
The move would allow the satellite firm controlled by Rupert Murdoch to offer a package of phone service, broadband internet access and pay TV. In order to achieve this, Sky is understood to be considering buying one of the fast-growing broadband service providers. Any acquisition is likely to cost more than half of the £1bn Sky plans to raise by issuing a corporate bond. The bond issue, announced on Tuesday, surprised the City.
Sky's potential acquisition targets include Homechoice, a TV-over-your-phoneline service, and broadband suppliers Easynet and Pipex.

BBC = Bloody Big Con ...

The BBC wants to increase the licence fee by 2.3% above inflation to boost its programmes and digital services. The corporation is to present its bid for the next licence fee settlement to a House of Commons select committee.
If the government accepts the BBC's proposal, the fee would rise by £3.14 per year until 2013, not including inflation. The current fee is £126.50.
BBC director general Mark Thompson said the rise would fund the switch-over to digital TV and BBC on-demand services.
The BBC says it needs an extra £5.5bn over the next seven years to pay for more original programmes, new digital and local services and increased costs.

My thoughts: Technology is evolving at a pace such that pay-per-view on a micro level should be possible once the digital switch-over is complete. So let's pay for what we watch - 30p per episode of Eastenders, 50p for Top Gear, £1 for the FA Cup final etc. This should help ensure a halt in the decline of the BBC's output quality. If this cannot work then the licence fee should be scrapped and either direct funding from government or advertising brought in fund BBC.

further research ... ...

1) The Orientation Video said that you had to stay for 540 days in the hatch. That's 108 x 5.

2) The guy who led Desmond into the hatch was named Kelvin. We obviously know Kelvin for the temperature scale, but he also had another theory I found on the 'net:

"Kelvin argued that the key issue in the interpretation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics was the explanation of irreversible processes. He noted that if entropy always increased, the universe would eventually reach a state of uniform temperature and maximum entropy from which it would not be possible to extract any work. He called this the Heat Death of the Universe."

I don't really know what that means, but it might have something to do with the "End of the World" Desmond spoke of if you don't push the button. It also might be important to note that Kelvin is generally regarded as a bone-headed pig who declared in the early 1900s that there was nothing left to be discovered in the world of Physics.

3) Turn of the Screw by Henry James was shown. Quick synopsis:

"In The Turn of the Screw, Henry James creates a masterful psychological thriller, with "the strange and sinister" occurring in the midst of the usual. He engenders a nightmare quality to his tales- an unspoken, ungruesome "sense of evil" that allows the reader to imagine the horror from within. Further, blending the innocence of children with ghostly evil creates a terrifying combination. The terror lies not in the apparitions themselves, but in what is happening to the children; they change from "sweet things" to open liars and mean-spirited little beings.
A particular "turn" is represented by James' young governess, who is frightened by the all-too real daytime hauntings, but continually insists on telling the reader how calm she is. And the most haunting turn of all comes with the final questions left hovering before us: Was the deepening spell actually an emanation from forces beyond the dead? Or was it, in innocent and terrible fact, a manifestation of the young governess' own unconsciously possessive passion for the spirit of Miles - a passion first kindled by the uncle who had "charmed and beguiled" her, and then left abandoned in a lonely country household to spawn its own deadly ghosts within her soul and the souls of those around her? In essence asking, "What is the source of evil?" this tale, written in an eerily slow-moving, deliberate nineteenth-century style, has been called the greatest ghost story ever written."

4) B.F. Skinner was mentioned. He's the "operant conditioning" guy from our early science classes. Here's the link, pay particular attention to the "Theory" section.

http://www.ship.edu/~cgboeree/skinner.html

5) The book that Desmond was reading was The Third Policeman by Flann O'Brien. Here's the link to it, published in 1999.

system of a down ...

Conscious metal heads System of a Down have announced that their new album will be titled Hypnotize/Mesmerize and will be released as a two album set with the CDs slated to be issued roughly six months apart of one another.
Disc 1 of the set (Hypnotize) will be in stores during the latter part of the first quarter of 2005, while Disc 2 (Mesmerize) is expected to see a late Summer/early Fall 2005 release date. Both installments of the album will be released through the American Recordings/Columbia Records label.
The band, who is currently locked down in a Los Angeles studio doing vocals had this to say about the forthcoming double layered album, "There has been a great deal of upheaval, very troubling times for all of us over the past year or so," said vocalist Serj Tankian, "and that has brought forth a lot of emotional material. There¹s a good amount of social commentary in the new songs, as well as songs where we deal with love, with reminiscing, relationships, politics, and funny experiences."
Malakian wrote most of the new songs and is producing the album with Rick Rubin. He admits that a two album set was never part of the initial plan for the band's next album. "When we started recording, we were focused on making every song the best it could be, to really give a thousand percent to every, single track. Doing a two album set never entered into our thought process. But when we looked at all the songs we had and arbitrarily tried to choose 'the best' fourteen for one album, we realized we had two album's worth of really great songs, and that they all connected with each other. We didn't chase this idea, it chased us."
The decision to release the two discs six months apart was made simply to give fans time to get into and really live with the music from Disc 1 before plunging into Disc 2. Both Hypnotize/Mesmerize discs will be completely
recorded, mixed, and sequenced at the same time, before Disc 1 of the two album set is released.

sue and countersue ...

There are two commodities that the RIAA has in great abundance: cash, and consumer resentment. Since the start of its concerted legal assault on digital media piracy, the RIAA has become a veritable pariah. Aggressive legal action against consumers doesn't exactly engender trust and respect, so it is no surprise that a casualty of the RIAA's war against piracy has decided to pursue retaliation. Tanya Anderson, a 42 year old disabled single mother from Oregon, has filed a countersuit against the RIAA, in which she claims that the organization engaged in numerous crimes, including fraud, deceptive business practices, and racketeering. In addition, she claims that RIAA has been "abusing the federal court judicial system for the purpose of waging a public relations and public threat campaign targeting digital file sharing activities." more here

1001 horsepower equip the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 with a level of acceleration unheard of in the sports car segment, propelling it from 0 to 62 mph in just three
seconds and past the 200 mph mark in a mere 14 seconds. Thanks to its 923 lb-ft, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4’s enormous propulsive power is not exhausted until it reaches
252.3 mph (406 km/h): the maximum speed for which chassis and drive train have been designed. Any further performance escalation is limited by current design and construction.
Also unique is the power transmission via an innovative directshift gearbox.
