      I see how it works! A magical disco ball is allowed to emit it's soooper groovy radiation over the surface of the disc, which liberates the bits to stand up and boogie! It's so obvious!

      Of course, you have to thicken up the dance floor, but that's elementary.

      Still, I can't believe that there wasn't a single black bit there at the Super-Para-Magnetic Disco...

      I'm curious how many people know about perpendicular because of that effort.

      Just look at how fast the Earth's population shot up since the Get Horizontal ad campaign.

    I suppose that why it has perpendicular recording.

    Whoa dude, you totally blew my mind. It's soooooooo amazing.

    Oh man! Have you ever wondered how they get the cream filling in a twinkie? I mean, sure, you can see the holes in the bottom but, I mean, they're empty on the inside! I wonder how they make the space for the cream to go into. I wonder if they sell the part that they take out of the inside,

    Oh, man.

    Pictures will go upto 10 megapixels but it will stop there. Video might go upto 1024x768x32-bitx100FPS but will not exceed that.

    "You've got a Friend in Porn" by Sean Cullen

    When you're feeling blue,
    you don't know what to do,
    sitting all alone,
    waiting by the phone...
    The world seems so unfair,
    no one seems to care.
    When your worlds are ripped and torn
    you've got a friend in porn.

    Thank you for the porn!
    Though other folks may scorn
    the constant mindless sex
    and the crude special effects,
    it gets you through the day
    whether bi or straight or gay.
    When you wish you were never born,
    you've got a friend in porn.

    When the night is long,
    everything is wrong.
    Your heart is on a shelf,
    you have to touch yourself.
    Reach for your old friend.
    The pleasures never end,
    and I think you'll find
    it's a friend you can rewind!

    Thank you for the porn!
    porny porny porn
    porny porny porn
    porny porny porn

    porny porno porni
    porniddly niddly new
    pornography for you,
    pornography for me,

    You've got a friend in porn
    You've got a friend in porn
    You've got a friend in pooooooorn!
    But there comes a time after which we actually run out of relevant data to put on it.

    Trust me, if your "relevant data" includes pornography, you will NEVER run out of data to put on it. Call that "Gabriel's Law" if you will. ^_^

    When you write "musical creativity", does that mean it won't come loaded with country and hip hop?
