The crushing action of your teeth vibrates your head just enough to interface with the screen's refresh rate, causing the picture to "bounce" and shear in your field of view.
This optical effect you describe is even more dramatic if you have something in your mouth that is vibrating.
Or did he think that the fanatic refreshers on Wikipedia that normally hash over every little tiny edit that pops up would look the other way because they worship him like some kind of internet God? I'd give $20 to know what he was thinking.
It's more like a bunch of philsophers looked at the world and thought it was way to complicated to have occurred by chance.
I wonder if these same philosophers look down at their Bridge hand (13 cards) and conclude that the odds of them being dealt that particular hand are less than 1 in 6 billion, so they couldn't possibly have been dealt that hand by chance. The dealer must have given them a seemingly random crappy hand on purpose.
I wonder how much different life would be today if the HMS Beagle had shipwrecked in the Galapagos and <i>Origin of the Species</i> had never been published.

I like the Penny per Page (http://computer.howstuffworks.com/penny-per-page2.htm/) internet economy model, and think it could work. It would fix the ad problems and can generate much more revenue for content providers. It only costs obsessive web surfers more than they already pay for internet. The most casual surfers will pay less for internet access than they do now, if these numbers are to be trusted.
Of course the link I provided is to a site that would stand to make millions more than they already do if everyone switched to this model.

"It sounds like the speaker is implying that the United States owns the Moon because we got there first." And we brought a flag!
