Slashdot Mirror

I have switched over to the Summers layout. It relieves the boredom of typing, and my office mates are always commenting on the impact of my work on the company environment. Try it yourself: http://www.rathergood.com/buff...

Cos it is close to us. We like the moooooon! http://www.rathergood.com/moon...

Cuz it is close to us! http://www.rathergood.com/moon...

OK It's probably cheating because it's misinterpreted in a different language, but ... http://www.rathergood.com/elep...

I'd forgotten that site existed. Love it!

Oh, she's got a chicken to ri-ide

At least he didn't wank on his own shit.

That would be disastrous.

Maybe it's to test internet access, don't you know that The Internet is Made of Cats http://www.rathergood.com/cats

So, henceforth, I will only refer to my PC as a soupspoon.

I trust you won't be using your soupspoon without spoonguard. That would be more irresponsible than running Windows 8.

Nah. They will sing the moon song

And we spend alot of time and money protecting children from the evil boobs...

And for good reason (NSFW)

what about http://www.rathergood.com/demon

I see your badger badger badger mushroom, and up you one rathergood.com

Of course, such sites and similar could just be produced as a movie (using HTML5) but (1) that would probably take quite a bit more bandwidth, and (2) I'm not sure it would be easier to produce, because using Flash you can indeed easily do simple animations, duplicate and scale objects, do worse-than-Southpark style animations etc. I'm sure there is software to do this for movies, but it might be more involved/complex than some rainy sunday afternoon Flash hackery.

Btw. I detest Flash, but well...after a couple of beers such websites can make me suspend my hatred for a while.

Of course they did, we like the moon.

It's this kind of irresponsible thinking that represents all that's wrong in society today. We must BAN SPOOOOOONGUAAAAAAAARD!

(brought to you by the Association of British Spoon Manufacturers)

they need to head off spoon crimes. I recommend SPOOOOOOOOONGUARRRRD!

"Apparently, Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting.."

COWUUUBE!

We like the moon!

...All together now! SING! http://www.rathergood.com/moon_song/

American icon? Please, you should know better.

Here's an old tribute to Luciano Pavarotti that I thought was appropriate:

When asked why we need a permanent moon base, NASA officials had this to say.

What? You don't love the moon!? Blasphemy..

Well, maybe that is why these guys like it so much.

it would be lightbulbs.

Or zeppelins.

Or puffins also I think maybe they go quite high too maybe not as high as the moon coz the moon is very high.

(For those who don't get the pop-culture reference, It makes flash worthwhile).

Is "gender gap" the new euphemism for "axe-wound"?

I'm a capitalist. I hate Wal-Mart, true, but I'm a capitalist economically speaking. I see nothing wrong with people driven by profit, I believe in the "invisible hand", although I recognize its flaws.

But I also support various programs that produce no profit (directly) and cost a great deal of time and money, including space exploration.

Why?

Because I'm a human being. I like that we're exploring. I like that we're pushing beyond these bounds placed upon us. I am fascinated by the idea that man could do something so complex as leave this earth and visit the Moon, or Mars, or beyond. It's not just the money - it's the fulfillment of a human desire. Something we were "made" for - to reach out and extend ourselves beyond this sphere and to travel to new lands. I must admit - my thoughts are based purely on ideology, not "reason". But I think I'm not alone in this.

There's something about space exploration that should set off that spark in all of us - something beyond money, beyond mere profit. It's the advancement of the capabilities of an entire species - it's not merely that Americans have been on the moon, but man has been there.

If (when) it costs hundreds of billions to go to Mars and back, with no economic returns, it will still have been worth it. We will then be able to say that man has gone to the moon, that mankind has made yet another massive acheivement.

Are there things on earth that need to be fixed? Yup. But if we wait for things to be perfect here before we leave, we'll never go. In any case, simply giving away money has rarely had a positive effect on most social problems - it's often made them worse.

Why climb Mount Everest, when it gains you nothing and could cost you your life? Because it's there. That's a good enough reason for me to see us go to the moon, Mars, or anywhere else.

In any case, I think we all love the moon...

That will teach me not to preview when links are involved!

Giant Cock!

Not me. I'm with these guys.

We like the moon!

Here is a top scientist from the Russian Space Agency explaining why they want to go to the moon so badly.

Coz it is close to us.

This reminds me of the "physics" of cubic cows explained in this song and lecture, http://www.rathergood.com/zoology.

We like the moon!

But not as much as a spoon...!

A spokesman for the Chinese space program had this to say about a trip to the moon.

Coz it is close to us.

Better buy spoon guard!

IMO they should have had Pavarotti Loves Elephants as well :)

And no We Like The Moon? What kind of lame ass list is this?

Pavarotti Loves Elephants

Singing Horses
