Bits & Pieces VIII (OMG, Hobo visited! Now this title can't be libelous Edition)

Hehe, shame about the white border to the right.

Also time for a classic:



EDIT: A friend of mine made this today:

I hate this whole fad of "Keep calm and carry on" but that is the first one I've ever seen that I actually like.

[Crashpunk]

I adore the Carry on films

[JennyGenesis]

Clearly this a tattoo which people will ask him in many years "What is it?"

[Crashpunk]

What is it?

[JennyGenesis]

I can't even tell if your being sarcastic or serious.

[Wings of Fire]

What is it?

[moxco]

What is it?

Asides from some reference to pop culture, that is.

[Dynamithix]

Isn't that the Zune logo?

Oh. Yeah.

What is it?

[Varrok]

What is it?

[Nate]

As logos go, I think it's actually quite a good design.

Also, the Zune HD is the best mp3 player I've ever had.

[Manco]

Zune is awesome and it’s a damn shame it’s being rebranded as “Xbox Music”. Pfft.

[DarkHoodness]

Let the conspiracy theories commence!

(I'm pretty sure we haven't figured out how cold fusion works yet, though - That time glasses thing is definitely false, and I'm pretty sure Rife's Anti-Cancer beam is false too. Also, that fuel cell from water thing breaks the laws of physics, as does the water vortex implosion thing. But the rest may be true.)

Have some more random crap:

WoF: I resized your image for you. Also, what?


This is far more entertaining than it should be. It's a realtime tweet-narration of a relationship imploding. In public. On a train. Infidelity, pregnancy and horses are all involved.

[JennyGenesis]

This is funny, and true.

[Crashpunk]

That was great. I fucking hate EA.

[Varrok]

That's old. I already posted that before.

Locomotory muscle function of ectothermic fishes is generally depressed in cold waters, making them vulnerable to avian and mammalian predators whose body temperature remains high. Paradoxically, Greenland sharks Somniosus microcephalus exhibit the reverse of this usual predator–prey thermal pattern by apparently hunting seals in Arctic waters. To examine whether this species possesses cold-adaptations that enhance its swimming performance, we used data-logging tags to measure swim speed and tail-beat frequency (which reflects muscle-shortening speed) of six free-swimming sharks (204–343 kg). For comparison, we compiled these parameters for wild fishes from the literature over a wide body mass range (0.2–3900 kg) and examined the scaling relationships using phylogenetically informed statistics. The sharks cruised at 0.34 m·s− 1 with a tail-beat frequency of 0.15 Hz, both of which were the lowest values for their size across fish species. The mean and maximum speed (0.74 m·s− 1) and acceleration during burst swimming (0.008 m·s− 2) were much lower than those of seals. Our results indicate that the swimming performance of Greenland sharks is limited by cold waters (~ 2 °C) and insufficient to catch swimming seals. However, Arctic seals sleep in water to avoid predation by polar bears Ursus maritimus, which may leave them vulnerable to this cryptic slow-swimming predator.

yep.

I’m glad this had a happy ending. Poor Tim.

TF2.com crashed so I think they 'leaked' this on purpose.

[Crashpunk]

Oh... my god. My sides are killing me... That was amazing.

I fucking love you Valve. Fucking love you.

[Varrok]

Great one Really enjoyed. Could be longer though

[Mac Sirloin]

I feel like they might even follow it up with something more lengthy, but I'm, perfectly okay with this if they don't. I think this was pretty much ideal.

god I so much hate those google ads

I turned into a Geography teacher tonight, this conversation started because the person in the conversation sent me a parcel, however, for the address she put "Engeland (sic), Wales". So I tried to explain to her that England and Wales are two different places, damn foreigners!
