£14,306. All things considered, I'd be screwing them.
;)

I lied a little to achieve £34736.

I tested it: stating that I believed in UFOs decreased the value by £1800


The information about their company is pretty funny.

the internet is shit.com

Good to know that domain is available...

The free and open country of North Korea...
 

Two blog type sites of visitors - one from Japan and one westerner and, of course, the official site of North Korea!

Your soul is worth £36176. For your peace of mind, 22% of people have a purer soul than you.

I'm pretty sure that boiling kittens cost me a couple of points :D

I'm afraid it's not all that interesting.

I answered honestly, but the test is probably weighted heavily against monogamous, pagan, conservative gun owners who own Nokia products and rent videos from Blockbuster ...

I probably would have lost my remaining 8% by admitting that I shop on QVC and have visited Studio Park. More than once. (it's only like 45 minutes away and it's fun to see television happen)

Oh. Thanks Ep.

It's actually at internetisshit.org. According to the Preview Reply function, this link actually works. Hurray!

It's funny that the Official Site of North Korea is a .com -- which, I understand, stands for commercial. I wonder if somebody thought it meant 'communist', or they just weren't thinking very hard?

"Your soul is worth £48610. For your peace of mind, 14% of people have a purer soul than you."

$80,212.47 or €70,060.87. Nope. Still not for sale...

Your soul is worth £13787. For your peace of mind, 65% of people have a purer soul than you.

Now where is that pounds sterling to dollar converter?

Thank you for the links, Beestie. They were extremely interesting to read.

The English travelogue was very intriguing, and a great story, but unfortunately it kept me up several hours after I had hoped to go to bed =]. Having read that, I would really like to visit North Korea -- it sounds like a fascinating place (not that I would ever want to live there, mind you). It sounds like the Arirang would have been an amazing spectacle to see. I thought it was funny that there was a problem with him taking a picture inside the building at the JSA, and that South Korean tour guides had told them that the building was nothing more than a façade. I was also surprised that no one wanted to push open the door, or present the flowers to the statue -- I would have had fun doing that.

The Japanese travelogue was interesting because it showed what had changed between their visits. The Japanese tourist complained that he couldn't get the schoolchildren to smile for a picture, but the American from South Korea complained that the children in the schoolrooms wore forced smiles whenever the tourists poked their heads in. The metro lighting was insufficient to read when the Japanese toured the place, but when the American took his pictures, it was brightly illuminated.

Wow. DPRK's site is really really good.

Your soul is worth £27098. For your peace of mind, 32% of people have a purer soul than you.

wow. i guess i'm done for.

Waitaminnit!!!

BRIANR has a "purer" soul than I do??????

There is clearly a problem with that test!!! I demand a recount!!!!!

I know, isn't it just? All of the information you need is quickly and readily accessible, and the mouseovers make navigation really easy (especially for those of us with 3-second memories). The only criticism I might have is that it is kinda difficult to find pictures of their fantastic proletariat leaders and North Korean insignia. Even those aren't too hard to find, though, so it's all good.

sorry, wolf.
 

I'm not as wild and crazy as I let on.

Actually, I'm still a virgin with a vivid imagination. LOL

But I hope to one day "do it" with Dagney.

<Grin> Brian

High school mascot gets freak on, and we get to watch
 

A Kansas high school had problems with "provocative" dance styles at their dances and proms.

The Student Council created a video to educate students as to what was and wasn't appropriate.

The dancer? Freddy, the school mascot, in full (bird) costume.

<a href="http://www.ljworld.com/section/schools/story/145633">Dance, Freddy, dance</a>

(Quicktime required for two-minute movie)

This is a site I return to from time to time. Not a good site if you are in a hurry but a very good one if you are patient and like exploring around.

The url speaks for itself: Tower of Babel

I just found my old bookmark file which has sites bookmarked as far back as 1995.

Here's one from the dood who figured that an excellent way to archive the New York Times (at least I think that was the specific mag but whatever) was to encode it in the junk DNA of cockroaches.

I have a feeling that there's a really good joke in there somewhere but I'm too tired to look for it :)

Thanks!
 

Hey there,

Thanks for the mention and the link! :-)

Sorry Malcs64, I can't understand a word you are saying ;)

:D

Espcially for gamers:

test your reaction time

My average was 0.198. I was not warmed up.

http://msdelta.net/~dave/images/cell...-time-test.jpg

I too was not warmed up.

"Your soul is worth £15074. For your peace of mind, 61% of people have a purer soul than you."

Well, I was worried that I am just too damn tame for this crowd, but if I'm right up there with BRIAN, how bad can it be?

eh...I scored a 0.197...without warmup or trying more than once.

I guess that's not too bad for an old fogey!

0.255...I suck.

0.218 on the first try, I suck also.

Great! Now I got beat by the dirty ol' man!

0.225 the second go-round...fuck!

apparently, my reaction time suggests that i may be deceased.

are you guys reading this, or is it the last synapse firing before i see the light?

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; .185 was my best out of three tries. My first was .204, third was .194. Of course, I might do better not trying reaction speed tests at 2:30 in the morning... Oh I invalidated one test 'cause the mouse clic didn't read for some reason and I sat there staring at a yellow disk wondering why it was still yellow for several seconds before clicking again. Oh well...

Mine was .208. Remember this when you see "safety" studies claiming reaction times of 1 or 2 _seconds_.

.225

no wonder I end up dying a lot in first person shooter games.

This site is a guy that built a replica of Howard Hughs racer plane. Very cool if your into planes.

Ok Bruce , when i get rich and famos i will buy both of us one of these bad boys !!!!

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This is my result from an honest take on the test... Um, damn. I'm pure. Must be because I don't have a Blockbuster membership anymore...
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sadly, I don't feel all that great about my 'purity' for some reason... The purity .... it makes me feel... unclean... Like my cynicism is imperfect or something...

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Yeah it is. I choose to believe this test is unfair and I am, in fact, not in the purest 1/5 of the people.

all that clean livin' really balances out the basic personality evil, whit...congrats.

i think i'm a little less pure than you...........but anytime ya want lessons.............:D

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Personality evil? I've always thought my personality could best be described as "sweetness and light." Actually, I've scored awfully high on every one of these damn online purity tests...

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; As far as lessons go, I'm always ready to learn something new. Back in high school I used to wear a button that said, "I have no bad habits, but I'm open to suggestions." Offer still stands....

You wanna be a Nun??:confused:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sure, why not? It seems that I'm pure enough...
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Yeah, lock me up with all those repressed, chaste women... It'll be good for all of us, I think. Just make sure I'm put in with the younger group, I'd be new to it and wouldn't want unfair advancement.

homestarrunner, yes?
 

Anybody on board with me for voting for
homestarrunner as coolest site of the
day (year?) . . .



homestarrunner

Paul

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, probably not.

Not that its not interesting but............

Tell you what: I'll give it one :3eye: or mebbe 2 :rolleyes: s but think I'll hang onto my "site of the year vote" for just a little longer :)

I don't get Homestarrunner but I love Strongbad.:)

I looked at this site the last time it was spammed here. It wasn't funny then, either.

I think we're just out of the demographic, El, you know, like the same way that Barney is fascinating to 3 year olds but makes everyone else homicidal?

60 album covers with the lettering removed. How many can you identify ? I could only name a couple.:(

I got 19: 5, 7-11, 14-15, 17, 23, 26, 31, 36-37, 40, 52, 54, 56 and 58.

5: REM, Automatic for the People (1992)
6: Cranberries, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? (1993)
8: Smashing Pumpkins, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (1995)
11: Blur, Blur (1999)
15: Janet Jackson, Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989)
23: Pink Floyd, The Wall (1979)
25: Fleetwood Mac, -- obviously, and a 1975 photo but not 1975's "Fleetwood Mac"... can't place this one otherwise, is it a re-release?
26: Stevie Wonder, Songs In the Key of Life (1976)
27: ELO, Out of the Blue (1977)
52: Beatles, The Beatles (White Album) (1968)
58: The Roots, Things Fall Apart (1999)

Extremely difficult challenge and Syc shows his enormous mind for music. The lad knows his stuff, he is like an encyclopaedia.

Uh ... I feel so ... inadequate.

I got The Wall, Songs in the Key of Life, and The White Album, also recognized Fleetwood Mac, but have not a clue which album, thought the space-shippy thing might be ELO and was pretty sure it wasn't Boston ... I've probably heard cuts off ALL of those albums, but have no clue what the cover art looked like.

I'd heard you're supposed to be able to identify stuff from your high school years best, but I spent much of that time buying albums by Maynard Ferguson and Chuck Mangione.

What can I say. I was a marching band geek. (yeah, this one time, at band camp ...)

Since UT revealed his, I'll reveal the ones I got that aren't in his list:

7--Californication, Red Hot Chili Peppers
9--The Fat of the Land, Prodigy
10--Beautiful Freak, Eels
14--Ill Communication, Beastie Boys
17--The Colour and the Shape, Foo Fighters
31--Hatful of Hollow, The Smiths (I originally thought this was the self-titled album, but after looking at their album covers, it is indeed Hatful of Hollow)
36--Pet Sounds, The Beach Boys
37--Nimrod, Green Day
40--Stripped, Christina Aguilera
54--Ozzmosis, Ozzy Osbourne
56--Vs., Pearl Jam

And graciás El Sapo...what can I say? I dig music.

Rho adds:

Damn...he's good. I told him to look at those covers b/c I figured he'd know 'em best.

1--Bounce, Bon Jovi
UT and I got 4, 6, 10, 11 and 26.
12--Morning View, Incubus
I just found 25--The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac
27--After the Gold Rush, Neil Young
32 is definitely ELO.
37 is definitely Green Day.
50 doesn't look quite like the Basement Jaxx cover.
I don't think 53 is Metallica. There looks to be some sort of amp setup in the background.

Shit, he whipped my ass.

49 10,000 Maniacs?

Could 53 be Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath?

CB Slang!

Don't really know what prompted me to go looking for this, but reading it brings back fond memories of cross-country trips riding next to my father, listening to him banter back and forth with other CB users. It was neat.
