ROFL!

This is just too damn funny!

Just a couple of variant Terror Threat Level Meters for those of you who are so inclined to be stirred into a panic of mass hysteria by Big Brother.

Be seeing you.

It always seems to come back to that now doesn’t it?

I was surfing around this vast little interweb of ours and stumbled across something that made my little geek heart go all aflutter. A size comparision chart.

No, not one comparing the cup sizes of the Star Trek hotties (though I’m sure that there is a cult dedicated to exacting those measurements somewhere out there), but rather a comparision of sizes for the various startships and vehicles of the various series and genres that we’ve grown to love over the years

You can check it out. and compare just how big Moya from Farscape is compared to an Imperial Star Destroyer from Star Wars, or a Galaxy Class starship from Star Trek is. And if you use IE to view the page, you can pick up and move the images so as they’re side by side if you like.

While surfing about I also stumbled across this fun and goofy little tool known as the Historic Tale Construction Kit which is a scan of the medieval Bayeux tapestry that depicts the battle of Hastings in 1066 that allows you to depict your own historic scene.

While I haven’t bothered to create anything respectable on my own yet, I will share with you this link to someone who has.

Enjoy

And lo…. the computer that was once a lowly and pathetic tortoise has ditched the cumbersome shell, added some street slicks and taken a dose of speed to become a new and improved racing gerbil of unsurpassed speed, agility and power.

…

Ugh, enough mixed metaphors already!

Uh, yeah. Anyways, The computer is back up and running once again. Yay me!

A question that has plagued civilized man (for 28 years or 1,216, depending on your point of view) has been answered at last:

Estimating the Airspeed Velocity of an Unladen Swallow.

And if you don’t get the signifigance of this you need to watch more Monty Python

Okay, still no new motherboard. The didn’t have the one I wanted in stock so it’s on order with an ambiguous ETA due to the holiday season. It could be forty-eight hours, it could be a week. We’ll just have to wait and see. *twitches spasmodically*

Though it was amusing to listen to the salesman try to convince me beyond the shadow of a doubt that THIS was absolutely identical to what I had ordered

Anyways… Happy Holidays and whatnot.

Okay… on that new Mobo and chip thing. Currently on hold as I realized the board I’m currently holding isn’t exactly the one I ordered so…. Gotta go and get the right one tomorrow.

I’ll update more once I do get the right parts (here’s hoping they have em in stock)

Woooooohoooooo *chants* I am ev-il Ho-mer! I am ev-il Ho-mer!

Okay… I’m not, but it was the best chant of joy that I could come up with and if you’ve ever played Quake 3 with me and the Homer Bot you’ll find that rather hillarious.

Anyways, I’m about to install my new Motherboard and Chip on this old and tired machine. Finally I take a leap out of the bronze age and into the supah fast silicon era.

Remember that Roman 20-sided die? I checked the Christie’s website and It was auctioned on Dec. 11^th. It apparently sold for $17,925 US Dollars.

It better roll 1000 criticals in a row for that price! Sheesh!

Some days it just doesn’t pay to surf the net. Other days you find wonderfully funny little gems like this.

Gotta love vintage smut. It’s just too cheesy for words sometimes. You can find some more pics of old vintage smut/erotica bookcovers Here. I still think the Satan one is the best though.
