Maybe they just burn it a lot.

Eurgh - You wouldn't think a black bun would sell well considering just how crap and unappealing mass-produced fast-food normally looks. Then again, most people aren't very clever and will buy anything if there's a brand name stamped on it.

EDIT:

Except these days, you can fit 64 GB on a MicroSD card a quarter of the size of the one shown. That's witchcraft, I tell ye!

Unluckiest child in the world. WTF?

There's a hidden song in Windows XP/Vista/7. Open up (my) computer or windows explorer and go to the directory C:\windows\media. (Replace the letter C with the letter of your local drive.)

You'll find three midi files.

flourish.mid
onestop.mid
town.mid

If you don't have Windows XP/Vista/7 then here's a video.

How did I fix it?

Erm... I have no idea what you're trying to do there, Spooce-aholic. Why don't you just copy-paste the embed code direct from the Youtube page?

Oh God, what is this abominable monstrosity?

Oh God, what is this abominable monstrosity?

I looked it up: it’s a proof-of-concept tablet PC called the Razer Fiona that’s designed for PC gaming. Supposedly it’ll ship with Windows 8, and you’ll be able to connect your Steam library to it. Only hardware spec explicitly mentioned is an i7 Intel core.

Why not to represent yourself in court. Especially read paragraphs 44 and 45.

R v Bruer

These are my favourite bits.

The accused, on various occasions throughout his evidence, pressed a number of plainly absurd positions including:

(i) All South Australian laws were invalid;
(ii) The Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) was invalid;
(iii) The accused’s actions had been lawful because the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth) gave him a right of ownership and possession of his children superior to any orders of a court including the Federal Magistrates Court exercising jurisdiction under the Family Law Act;
(iv) The Copyright Act was passed before the Family Law Act and therefore had validity in opposition to anything the Family Law Act purported to achieve;
(v) The Federal Magistrates Court orders had no legal validity or force;
(vi) As to the requirement in the Federal Magistrates Court order that the children were to “live with the mother” the accused said this,[36]

The accused made various statements and observations throughout his evidence, which, whilst not amounting to admissions, did serve to indicate the way he thought and his reasons for acting. I provide only some of many examples from his evidence of statements made that have influenced me in my ultimate finding that the accused did not genuinely believe that he had a lawful entitlement to take C out of the possession of her mother.
(i) Once the accused had picked C up at the health service ostensibly because he was concerned that she was to receive uninvited (by him) medical attention, it did not cross his mind to find out why she was to receive the medical attention,

. . . it didn’t matter, I had my daughter, I couldn’t give a fuck of why she was in the hospital.

(ii) When arrested by police outside of Cobar, New South Wales after having taken C from the Onkaparinga Adventure Playground, the accused said to the police words to the effect that he thought he would be safe once he crossed the border.
(iii) The accused admitted lying to the police when he was initially interviewed about his not being the driver of the 4WD vehicle during the police pursuit at Mount Barker.
(iv) The accused eventually admitted that he knew that the police had been following him at Mount Barker and wanted him to stop but “he was wasn’t stopping for anyone”.
(v) According to the accused, at the health service, SB refused to answer his questions and tried to ignore him; as a result he “went to take her away; nobody’s got the right to tamper without my permission”.
(vi) On one occasion when asked during examination-in-chief what was the reason he picked C up and took her out of the health service the accused said this,

the mother’s got no idea; she doesn’t know anything about medicine, there is nothing wrong with [C] anyway, in my personal opinion. If I’m not going to know what she’s been tampered with – you can’t just medically prescribe people in Australia, it’s unconstitutional.

(vii) After giving this answer the accused was asked whether he believed what he had done at the health service was lawful. He gave the following explanation,

Yes, I do and I still do.
. . . .
Plenty of reasons: for a start the children are copyrighted, which means they are dramatic work produced by using skill . . . the mother then entrusted me further than that, having me put my surname on them as a trademark which gives me the ultimate say what’s going on with them, until they turned 18 . . .. Everything that has been happening with them is an unlawful breach of that . . .
. . . .
. . . I still firmly believe that because the Copyright Act came along before the Family Law Act. That one overrides that one anyway. The Copyrighting Act says you have exclusive use of the thing, as I’m the copyrighting owner of them, I have exclusive use over them . . .

When asked if he believed that the Family Court [by which his counsel must have been referring to the Federal Magistrates Court] order were lawful the accused answered,

Not entirely, no, not at all, effected by corruption. I wasn’t entitled to even find out why decisions were being made. I’m still not entitled to find out why decisions are being made, it’s unconscionable conduct isn’t it.

For the benefit of everyone else, since you never actually supplied a link.

Anyways, best Twitter account ever? Yes, yes it is.

That man is a genius.

I did.

Youtube embed codes don't have [url] tags in the middle, nor random half-broken tags like 'http:>'. Also, Youtube embed codes generally work, rather than producing 404 error messages.

I suggest you try and copy-paste it again.

I did. Does it work now?

No. Does it work for you?

No. Does it work for you?

No.

How did you know? Maybe I could change it manually?

Just copy and paste the embed code without putting stupid [URL] tags in it. There.

I don't put any [url] tags in it. I simply copy and paste it without changing anything.

Here’s the code you posted:

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="[URL]http://www.youtube.com/embed/E1KJw6f7v8Q[/URL]" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Note the

src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/E1KJw6f7v8Q"

part of the code, which has BBCode tags added to it. Youtube embed codes do not use those tags, ever.

Here’s the code with the BBCode tags removed:

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/E1KJw6f7v8Q" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

This produces:

It’s possible the forum software saw the URLs in the code you posted and automatically wrapped them in [URL] tags, but I couldn’t get it to do that myself.

e: Oh my god this post has broken horribly.
e2: Fixed. Someone make a note that [noparse] tags break things.

On another topic, this video boggles my mind at how much work must have been put in to it:

I tried viewing the page source but didn't find anything wrong. Do I look at it another way?

-edit-

It fixed, IDK how, I guess I was messing with the posting options to see if I could fix it.

-edit 2-

If I paste the embed code in the post, surround it in [html] tags, preview the post, then delete them, it fixes. I'll quote it so you can see the fixed post.

I posted this on "I've just seen" thread. I am a big fan of the Old Spice adverts and one of the biggest stars of them has returned for another ad campiagn :D

Adam and dog Trailer from Minkyu on Vimeo.

and this

(design by adolf born)

also I am a very lucky guy because I purchased this book http://covers.openlibrary.org/w/id/1045966-L.jpg for 10 euros in a nearby antique book store who is about to lock up and therefor sells every book for half the prize.

People avoid fan corner like the plague and are also fed up with the silly amount of Minecraft topics that are flooding the forums these days, I know. However, this does deserve your attention - It's something home brewed by the members of this forum. It's Oddworld related, and 7 months in the making...

Oh and the Onestop.mid thing and other midis are a very old "secret" that near enough everyone knows about these days - People should try playing those midis on actual instruments, done properly. Bet that'd wow a few people.

And what was with that Oldspice advert?

Haven't seen the other adverts? They are amazing.

And I thought I had them all...hehe

Also DarkHoodness that is amazing.

Pi-pi-pizza boomerang

@Crashpunk - Of course I have, they're getting weirder though.

Interesting form of censorship, maybe this just tickled me 'cause its late:

Wow Chubfish! I barely had the patience to make it through Portal 2, never mind figure out how to complete a level using the smallest amount of portals...

Weren't there enough cars in it for you?

there wasn't enough DICK

Zero gravity is amazing, it's a shame I'll never get to experience it - Same could be said for most people though.

I found this while snooping around Lorne's Facebook page ('cause I'm good at lurking), it deserves a listen:

Also maybe I should do this:

And this is tragic. :(

You won't believe how funny it can be doing impressions of this with friends
