It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Quickies
It's been a long time coming, so lets start off the quickies with some acts
of senseless damage. Old Wolf
sent us a link to a bunch of pictures of someone Defrosting a Freezer in the best way ever, and an
anonymous reader sent in a site that shows what happens if you put a
CD in Microwave.
Don't use AOL CDs., send them to this lady who collects them
(from gr8fulnded). On to the sex! An anonymous reader submitted a story
about the Robot
Pet Vibrator which is I guess AIBO gone wrong.
elkm discovered
Computerized Contraception. And with
all this digital doin' it going on, its good know that
MITs Erotic Computation Group is here
to research it (thanks
Chris Moon)
The world is full of strangeness, but little of it is as scary as
MissNachos's link to the
Hello Kitty laptop, srini's
link to the Single Pixel Webcam, and aneanti's link to a collection of the
strangest canned foods you'll ever see.
Finally, since it is the holidays, check out mrv's link to LED Christmas Lights which sure beats the hell out of finding the broken bulb.
first, about the microwave thing...tis old. :) But, very cool! I love using grapes/blueberries in the microwave..you cut them in half most of the way, leaving a tiny bit of skin attached in the middle and put it in the microwave for a few moments....huge flames shoot out...tis super cool. Not entirely sure why, but it is definitely neat.
another thing, always poke holes in your hamsters before microwaving.
The anti-salmon
pronoblem
Ho ho, I got you beat. Soldered up a string of my own in 1976.
I think they are trying to prevent that, its much harder to slik your wrists with an AOL CD, than the little metal door from a floppy. god knows I would do it, right their at the mail box if I get another
In theory, if the pixel's color were deep enough, you could imagine that it showed a whole scene, just extremely anti-aliased.

So who comes when this thing is called?
Who moderates the meta-moderators?
Shame on that woman for hoarding all the rare and valuable AOL disks, when this poor sick little girl is trying to break the Guinness record.
Folks, folks, that's not what Hello Kitty is all about.
Check out this vibrator !!
I've never looked at Hello Kitty quite the same way...
Sounds like they changed the definition of "forever" while I wasn't paying attention.
And then it goes on to talk about N and P silicon, and so forth. I guess they changed the definition of "easy to understand" too.
To get something done, a committee should consist of no more than three persons, two of them absent.
The canned food link reminds me of the time I went shopping at the Super 88 Asian food store in Boston and saw for sale packages of "Cock testicles" in the meat section. I didn't pick them up to see if there was a recipe on them, or if satisfaction was guaranteed. At least you can get a discount card for them: http://web.mit.edu/cssa/www/year01_02/services/sup er88_shopping.html
It would be worth modifying my Thinkpad 600X to a PHKL, just to see the face of the IM guy when I return it next year for memory upgrade. That'd be priceless!
Sigged!
I can't wait. Hello Kitty is already on everything else, I'm sure the Segway won't escape its evil grasp, (if it lasts long enough.)
BTW, forget the eBay post, the evolution of the "Hello Kitty vibrator " is going strong, their new version looks to be quite a bundle of joy, (for the kiddies, I'm sure it just mixes hot coco, oops, sorry for the pun.)
Dear Santa
I want to be an AIBO in Japan in my next life.
Over the summer, my friends and I collected over 300 AOL CDs from local stores. We did not do this for some collection, but rather to prevent others from getting them and being sucked into the horrible world of AOL.
Blockbuster's supplies widdled down to nothing. CompUSA had so many CDs on display that it was impossible to even dent their reserves. It was fun to watch the faces of the check-out associates when I grabbed all the CDs in one side of a display which contained at least 40 CDs. I just "[took] one" many, many times.
Still trying to figure out how to make a CD launcher to put all these to some good use.
