Friday Ephemera
Look closely and spot the difference. // How to talk like Michael Caine. // Porn and precognition, together at last. // Play spread sheet Armageddon with Impact Earth. // US Navy develops liquid antenna. // LIFE in the laboratory. // Impress the ladies with your speakers. Because chicks dig speakers. // Near-vacuum cooking. // Inevitably, bacon soda. // Un-sign. // Advertising Scrabble. // “Godzilla is virtually impervious to other gigantic monsters, and also to robots, artillery, laser blasts, lava and fire.” // Time-lapse marathon. // Booties for your hound. // A giant monkey made of flip-flops. // The must-have Christmas present.
“Spot the difference” he says…you’re an evil man David.
Uncool, dude.
But funny.
Well, that got the heart going at 5:25a,m…! 🙂
“The must-have Christmas present.”
I’ll take two. And a giant flip-flop monkey. 😀
On big speakers, here’s the relevant scene in Ruthless People where Judge Reinhold is selling the Dominator Speakers.

So big that “When you die they can bury you in it”
Speakers have to be as big as the woman you’re trying to impress.

It’s basic science.
“Play spread sheet Armageddon with Impact Earth.”
Cool. I managed to melt 84% of the Earth. It took a LOT of iron though.
Unfortunately it only deals with newtonic speeds. I want relativistic speeds, damnit!

Think I might buy me a couple of those t-shirts. Thankee.
Somehow I made a crater wider than the whole Earth. Then I ramped it up and created a new asteroid belt between Venus and Mars.
After reading all about Porn and Precognition, I felt certain that I knew what I would find behind the “Booties for your hound” link. I’m a bit disappointed…
Actually, this is the ultimate Christmas gift. At least, for the woman who has everything:

I saw the spot last year, and can assure you it’s not a parody. It really did air.
I am, however, wondering what the women here think. 🙂
I’d prefer shoes. But a Guardian T-shirt will do.

David I love your blog but my 3 year old son isn’t as big fan any more.
Oddly he went to bed tonight better than he has in a month. Have any more
of those spot the diffence videos?
