Backmasking
categories: Geeky, Music

I remember when I was a wee-kiddo I used to spin my Led Zeppelin records backwards and try to hear the hidden satanic messages. Now, thanks to the Internet and technology I can’t even begin to understand, all we have to do is press buttons! Oh! And Britney Spears has backwards messages too!

RoboDump 1.0
categories: Funny, Geeky

RoboDump is a robot. And it poops. Forever. A horrible, never-ending bowel movement complete with straining grunts, horrific gas, splashes, and pee sounds.

Two questions regarding this one: 1) Where can I buy one? and 2) How do you nominate someone for the nobel prize?

Loose Change
categories: Crazy, Geeky, Videos

Loose Change is an 80 minute documentary exploring some well known conspiracy theories regarding the events of September 11th 2001. At the very least it is quite well done and showcases the ability of the internet to serve as a free distribution mechanism.

Vote for the Worst

FindSounds – Search the Web for Sounds

FindSounds allows you to search for audio files based on keywords. It seems to work well, though I am basing that entirely on my one search for ‘fart’. The results definitely left me satisfied!

Caring for Your Introvert
categories: Geeky

Do you know an introvert? Perhaps you are curious as to how you should be caring for him/her beyond making sure their litterbox is clean, their water is fresh and that they have plenty of kibble.
Now I’m off to sleep with models since I am most certainly not an introvert… *soft crying*

Behold, the ravages of age!
categories: Geeky, Pics

A family in Argentina have been taking pictures of themselves on June 17th every year since 1976, creating a fascinating look at the aging process. They were lucky, because unlike my family they completely missed out on the giant-clown-glasses phase of the 80s.

What do you get when you combine French people, bicycle messengers and an ice race track? Good times, that’s what!

Drug Induced Spider Webs
categories: Geeky

NASA scientists, no doubt in a down period between shuttle explosions, give spiders various drugs and take photographs of the resulting webs. There’s a prize for guessing which drug results in the most dysfunctional web! (The prize is love.)

God Help Us All

Now hold up a minute here… Am I the only person who watches Battlestar Galactica? Does anyone remember a little movie called ‘The Terminator’? Human robots = bad idea. Honestly I don’t know why we’re so worried about the terrorists. We need to invade Japan.

I mean, who wouldn’t think of building an intelligent MIDI sequencer with hamster control for a school project?

The attack of the cat paws

These are fake cat paws with claws that can be controlled by a small switch hidden in the “handle”. Probably best to purchase two. And while you’re visiting the site, why not pick up some USB dog flash memory?
