haven't had enough aneurysms today?


Link borrowed from a friend, who undoubtedly borrowed it from another source on the internet. Check this out, it will literally blow your mind.

The Blue and The Green

Incredibly minorly tangentially related, but I've often wondered, in times of great relaxation, if it would ever make any difference if we perceived colours any differently from each other. Like what if what I call blue and what you call blue are two different things?

Yeah, not nearly as mind-blowing I know. Click the above link again to restore mental overload.

Jimmy Page, this is why you still kick ass.

"You think of the drum part that John Bonham did on Led Zeppelin's first track on the first album, Good Times Bad Times," he said. "How many drummers in the world can play that part, let alone on Christmas morning?"


Thanks for letting me share your birthday!

occasionally, tv is horrible


Shit that was on TV recently that you've already forgotten about:
  1. Growing Up Gotti
  2. That thing about David Foster's kids being rich assholes wrecking their dad's house
  3. Survivor

hey Batman, how did you do that?


Okay, this has been bugging me for weeks. And I know, geeks who point out techological plot holes are in danger of inching away from the "cool" side of Mom's basement, but.

So in Terminator: Salvation, John Connor uses his radio jammer device to corrupt the minds of the motorcycle terminators, and as a byproduct of this, steals one to ride to Skynet.com Stadium. Now, these "mototerminators" are basically killer robots with two wheels. They're not motorbikes, in the pre-apocolyptic sense, because they're not designed for say another robot much less a human to ride them. It's not like Skynet built supercharged Segways and a bunch of killer GOB lookalikes to hunt down humanity. (Which actually may have been more effective, because hey, pretty scary image, right?)

So the question is, if it's just a robot with two wheels that is not designed to actually be ridden much less controlled by some outside driver robot, much less a human... then John Connor, how did you ride that robot? How did you change gears, how did you throttle and brake? The world needs to know!

PS: spoilers above. But who cares, 'cause y'all have already seen this movie anyway.
