Gentleman, Ladies, today is a banner day.
Today is a day I launch a new weekly event, run entirely by yours truly.
The event in question, good sirs and madams?
It's shortened name? T-MWTBP-o-R
Or, the elongated version, The-Masses' Weekly Temporary Bookmark Post-o-Rama.
You see, ladies and gentleman, I have a special folder on my computer. No, it's not filled with horse porn OR anything of that nature. No. It is filled with URL after URL of stuff I have culled from the very bowels of the Al Gore Machine. (As of typing this, said folder contains 253 links and grows at a rate of around 5-10 a day, depending on what I read)
They range from the mundane (Oh! Looky! A site entirely devoted to images of
Hypercubes!) to the slightly disturbing. (
The Doom Comic... What the ♥♥♥♥ is this doing here?)
And, as it's rather wordy title suggests, I will gladly post a few up here every...*Checks day*...Saturday, no,
Sunday...I guess.
I shall be taking requests by PM.
(BAN SHIELD ON NAO: I will not, will
not post cracks, warez, viruses, or ♥♥♥♥ like that so I suggest you don't even send it, don't even THINK about sending it. Also: No 4chan stuff unless it is so funny I literally throw up because of it)
Anyways, without any further adieu. I give you the first instalment of T-MWTBP-o-R.
*Ahem*
T-MWTBP-o-R Numero Uno (30/12/2007, Special, First, GALA-Super-Extra-Special-Duper-Large-Edition)The Tetris EffectI find this both slightly disturbingly and disturbingly cool. Apparently, if you play Tetris long enough, life begins to
look like Tetris!
The Right Honourable Lord Wikipedia wrote:
People who play Tetris for a long time might then find themselves thinking about ways different shapes in the real world can fit together, such as the boxes on a supermarket shelf or the buildings on a street. In this sense, the Tetris effect is a form of habit.
They might also see images of falling Tetris shapes at the edges of their visual fields or when they close their eyes. In this sense, the Tetris effect is a form of hallucination.
OH NOES!!!11 NOT TEH HALLUCINATIONS!

(Taken from me telling a friend, actually the now-banned Elpolodiablo, about this)
"(10:57 PM) Chris: Hey man
(10:57 PM) Chris: Guess what I found?
(10:58 PM) El: Do tell
(10:59 PM) Chris: TreeDude.
(10:59 PM) Chris:

Yeah... So... He's a tree... And a guy. Hence "TreeDude".
(DISCLAIM-O-RAMA: I do not support, advocate the existence of, make fun of, and in some cases even acknowledge the disease which I have dubbed "Treeumonia")
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heh-heh. Funny robot. It looks like a bit of fun, and they say it'll eventually find itself on the public market, I may buy one. (Price permitting, of course)
Funny music, too. (By some Texish band going by the utensil-like moniker "Spoon", apparently. It's kinda catchy)
Google "KeepOn and The Beatbots" for more information-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arguably, the first Cornwallis-to-iTunes "segue" ever. And most definitely the first done by Eddie Izzard.
(Annoying-Side-Note-Which-I-Want-You-To-Read-Before-I-Post-The-Link: Until about 2 weeks ago, I thought it was pronounced "segue" and
not "seg-way", which just sounds retarded.)
Eddie Izzard meets Jon Stewart-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Nine Billion Names of God by Arthur C. Clarke is... well... not exactly "chilling" but it's kinda weird. Read it now.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Every sexual fetish recognized by the UK government ever (Posted on FP, and you've probably all ready seen it, but this is for those with their heads in the ground and/or under a rock)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, something mainstream.
The Evolution of Dance has most likely been seen by most of the Eastern adn Western populations, but it is put here simply because of the stupid amount of YouTube (Read: Useless) awards it has gotten. Most Viewed of All Time. Most Favourited of All Time. Over 69 million views. Gentleman, if that view count were to rise any higher the YouTube server would acheieve critical mass and become a small star, thus igniting the atmosphere and killing us all.
So don't click it.
(Aside: It was certainly not the "funniest six minutes I will ever see", Mr. Laipply, but you evicted a chuckle from me at your rather good rendition of "Can't Touch This")

Now, I'm no art snob, but
WebUrbanist.com caught my eye. And for an art blog to do that is an accomplishment of the
highest order. What caught my eye were some of the positively bad-ass things people have made or done.
Examples:
Freaky-deaky light showsI like light shows, I also like Tetris. Marry the two together and you have my undivided attention.
"Extraodrinary approaches to carving ordinary objects"I will say this: The Chain Pencil is awesome.
Camo of fun"Dude, is that Coke bottle talking to us?"
And a whole article on the (in?)famous
Banksy.

Airport confiscated barber scissors + Welder + Silly amount of time = Scissor spiderI am going to make one.

"Firesale"(Bitter, Cynical Aside) God, I hated Die Hard 4...

Legos are awesome.
Here's why.

Everybody loves cats. Including 4chan.
Especially 4chan. Hopefully platonically.
But what of
Robocat?

To quote the post,"
Canadian Public Safety is Serious ♥♥♥♥ Business"
I have no intention of cutting all my favourite blood vessels.

Oh, for ♥♥♥♥'s sake...
Thompson's going to be
all over
this.

Lest we forget...Actually, please, let us forget!

I SEE WHAT U DID
THAR.

I think I'll stick to my little steel box, thank you very much.

Think about it, ten more years until we can do nothing on the internet
for 20 straight hours and not have out bodies hate us.

It's

Man, these guys are
bad ass.
If the French were in Afghanistan, they'd use these.

And lastly, a

More to follow NEXT Sunday, if it is liked.
(Note: I did all of this while my internet was down in Notepad. Yep. Zero interwebs for me. I meant to post this on Sunday but instead it went up on Monday but they WILL go up on Sunday barring my death. But hey, it went up on new Year's Eve so consider it your little gift for the day)
