our family is kinda …weird!
just a minute ago, my parents realized (after i slightly pointed it out) that they had been watching tv with the audio channel for blind people. for half a year.
they just didn’t think about having more than one audio channel in digital tv.
my dad said that he had noted more and more movies had commentator-voices saying everything non-verbal that happened. “it’s for all the blind people!”

i couldn’t stop laughing! :mrgreen:
so eventually, i switched it back to normal audio…

***edit***
another of today’s anectodes:
my grandma came over today. when my dad said he had heard that carrots have very positive effects on one’s eyesight, she said “well sure, or have you ever seen a monkey with glasses?”
i’ve known that joke since i can remember, and it is still funny in certain situations. it’s just that MONKEYs like BANANAs very much, not carrots. :grin:
(well, at least in the jokes and tv-shows they do)

not really knowing what i was looking for, i found this page:

identity crisis

i love that mixture of humor and observation!

there’s some fun stuff that i stumbled across in the last days:

this page says that NOLF is used as an abbreviation for:

i think the last one is just great!
 
 
and i found this while surfing wildly through the net:
Hamlet in Ten Seconds
Forget READING Shakespeare – save some time by watching Hamlet in Ten Seconds!
you just have to see that!

 
 
44 to go!

this is funny:

yesterday i received an email of a very-remote-acquaintance who was seeking computer help.
her question was: “what should i do if i can’t get an internet connection?”

let’s back up here: she sent an email telling me that her internet-access didn’t work.

to be fair: there is a slim chance that she wanted to say something like “it works now, but what should i do if i ever don’t get a connection?”, but i don’t really think that’s the case here…

ok, i confess. i did it.
i took some time that i didn’t have in the first place and did one of those quiz-thingies – the question being “what kind of social entity are you?”. now have a look at the outcome:

Category III – The Regular Jo(e)
You are the quintessential standard conjured by the word ‘Friend’.

What Type of Social Entity are You?

now, i don’t mind if people do drugs, but – for one moment – imagine how many of them the illustrator must have taken…
greetings to sweden, then! :wink:

i’m pretty worn out now.
the ratio of “concentrating” to “not-being-able-to-concentrate-anymore” has dropped drastically.
i’m feeling like “johnny mnemonic”. what a bad movie!

anyway, i couldn’t help but share this little song with you:
it’s from southpark (s6e09 – free hat).

the plot: people want to free a murderer of 23 toddlers (that he killed in self-defense; his name is hat). they’re trying to cool the governor’s hot temper with a fresh island song.

this song is cool! i think most southpark-songs could easily take on disney-songs!

[listen to fresh island song]

just remembered that line from an “are-you-a-computer-geek”-survey:

YES I AM!
