The best part about the video is that this is my school's choir and I'm one of the basses in the bottom-right corner.

The laughter was when we made a mistake. We hadn't rehearsed in the dark, so we hadn't figured out that our conductor wouldn't be able to signal us back in at one point. One of the guys sang at the right time, but noone else followed and everyone laughed. We managed to pull our shit together really well after that, really.

Once the lights come on I'm the 4th from the right in the second row of boys.

Kimmy generally looked more interested in those taps than he did all that dancing and mucking about. Lul worthy.

TF2 can parody ANYTHING!

Ugguu ^_^

TF2 AIN'T GOT NOTHIN ON MAH BOI

The right one appears to have teeth.

Is the Darth Vader bun actually black?

If so that is, scary.

It would seem to actually be black.

Which is, uh, kind of disgusting.

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.

I alert twitter users that they typed sneak peak when they meant sneak peek. I live a sad life. https://twitter.com/#!/StealthMountain/favorites

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.
