In my day, we made our own movies using a light bulb and creative hand poses casting animal shaped shadows...

Heh...here's another joke, from TFA:

Now I will say this on the note of the fabric store types: Not Geeks! These are the types of people that never get out and experience the world.

Pot, kettle. Kettle, pot. Hey, you're black too!

Nah, my idea is better. Re-wire a retina scanner to output a DVD stream, and then you've got the BIGGEST picture of them all.

Although I did see Matrix 3 in the IMAX, and it was a little scary to see Morpheus's face. I mean, the dude had like 2-foot pores!

well... you could connect your notebook that is on the crappy ugly shelf to the ugly loud useless rack and then project all your porn in your new projector.

Your calculator was a DIY project too, wasn't it?

I read one page--the one on "Theroy." I find it distracting when someone doesn't bother with even elementary proofreading. If the content is interesting enough, I can overlook it, but this didn't seem all that novel. Just so there'd be some discussion, I made a quick list of the first errors that sprang out at me in the "Theroy" page. Doesn't everyone know some pedantic jerk that will edit their stuff for them?

1. principals : principles
2. cheep : cheap
3. cellulous : celluloid?
4. threw : through
5. LCD's : LCDs
6. Simi-gloss : semi-gloss
7. portal : portable
8. Walmount : wall-mount
9. theroy : theory
10. togeather : together
11. its : it's
12. . : ?

    I anxiously await the first person to point out a spelling or usage error in my post--it's traditional.

Simi-gloss : semi-gloss

Actually, Simi-gloss is a brand name. Each can comes with its own painter-monkey.
