Slashdot Mirror
Quickies Knows Quickies. Quickies is Quickies.
We'll start this off with
Ant's submission -- a hilarious story about The Endor Holocaust which no doubt follows the destruction of the 2nd Death
Star. After reading something so clear, confuse your mind
confuse your mind (thanks to
The Musician). Now that you are adequately confused,
cardoso sent us a ridiculous
flash app where you can control dancers. This will put you in the mood to enjoy
the most retro homepage
ever, sent in by mvw
Got some money to burn? Check out the Spinal
Tap Guitar which features among other things, chrome exhaust pipes
and a tachometer that (of course) goes to 11. If you're not a musician,
maybe you'd be interested in Randy
Rathbun's link to personalized
action figures: I could send in my mugshot and be immortalized in
plastic, standing forever atop my monitors with Darth, Goku, and
Trinity! Or maybe you wanna buy
a Dalek? If you're on more of a budget, Jay Novak sent us a great t-shirt
from
copyleft considering all the layoffs around the net companies.
With all of these great things to waste cash on, you might need some
cash:
geekguy sent in a funny list of ways to cash in on Doom without wasting time making a game (like
for example, Doom breakfast serial! Free BFG inside!) Just get id to
license ya!
For you do-it-yourselfers,
mr100percent submitted what
might be the most impressive automotive MP3 player ever. The Pathintosh is a beautifully integrated
Mac complete w/ steering wheel controls, and a custom bezel.
And finally, the eycandy. First up is
davco9200's link to Daily Astronomy Astropix which is actually pretty sweet: today is
Mars Dunes. Second and last of all, the pr0n:
Jeff K sent in
Unix-Sex which features sysadmins getting it on w/ Sun Hardware. Thats why we don't let them work 3rd shift.
Captain: What happen?
Operator: Somebody set up us the time cube!
Captain: Main screen turn on
Gene Ray: Hello Teachers!
Captain: What you say?
Gene Ray: It is useless to resist squared truth! God-Men no longer dispute me!!!
Gene Ray: False teachers on their way to hanging!
Captain: What you say?
Gene Ray: You have no chance to survive in false time.
Captain: All teachers, take off every 'zig'
Hopefully I didn't put any [] around my words.
Here's the history beginning from Early 2000:

Ant(Dude) @ Quality Foraged Links (AQFL.net) & The Ant Farm (antfarm.ma.cx / antfarm.home.dhs.org).
I saw this a while ago, probably in the earlier Quickie people posted about, and I decided to reply to the guy. I took his (obviously highly scientific) diagram with Jesus, the Clintons, Socrates, and Einstein, and threw in Nomar Garciaparra, and "proved" that there really were five days in every "day." It was something really basic, since I just had to respond to the tripe he was spewing. The guy writes back (using my real name; kinda scary) and points me to more drivel he's written, mentioning also that he tried to speak at my university (Georgia Tech) but the "stupid uneducated anti-truth educators" refused to let him. He then writes back again, and asks me if I want to have a debate with him, since I was obviously interested in his wonderful theories. Crazy...
P.S.: would this Quickie subject have anything to do with some random troll posting big hunks of the timecube home page a couple of days ago? The timing is just kinda weird.

I visited my brother for Christmas, and toured the Ernie Ball factory (his buddy is a salesman there)... this guitar rocks! The Tach actually moves the harder you hit the strings! it has a 'Hurst' style '8-ball' shifter, and shift boot, and has really nice chromed pipes cut into the body. I don't recall what the inlays are, but every detail was fabulous, and very over the top -- Just Spinal Tap's style!

Some people have waaaaay to much time on their hands .. probably explains why I am surfing slashdot and waiting for huge flash files to download.
Some days it pays to be me.
