Quickies Knows Quickies. Quickies is Quickies.

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the cats-on-mars dept.

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.

    I am surpised that the Cmdr didn't include the obligatory links for all those "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US" freaks

    Well here they are, including the original shockwave movie.

    After that, you are on your own.

    Just for fun, I ran the "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US" through Babblefish (sic)

    I translated the phrase to different languages and back to English, and got the following:

    • Italian: "all your base is belongs to we"
    • Portuguese: "all its base is in them belongs"
    • English -> German -> French -> English: "Your whole lower part being to belong us". Wow.

    All your beats are belong to us.
