I really thought this day was going slow on the blogging side until I saw this stupid gadget. The Email Clock ticks the amount of email going into your inbox, so you can… well, I have no idea what you can do with this information. No clue whatsoever.
What Today’s Kids Think About Old Games
Last year they let some kids play old, classic, games. Their reactions to the games were hilarious. So hilarious, actually, that they repeated this with different games again this year (and got an equally funny result). (via The Old New Thing)
מוזרויות בקניונים – חלק שתיים
הקטע עם נעלי הקרוקס לא אקסקלוסיבי לקניון אם הדרך. גם בדיזנגוף סנטר (ובעוד קניונים) יש את אותה אזהרה. אבל בדיזנגוף סנטר יש משהו אחר מעניין. באחת המעליות לכל קומה יש גם מספר וגם שם. המספרים והשמות הם כדלקמן:
- קומה 1- (גם כתוב בטוש לידה 0): הכיכר
- קומה 1: קומת כניסה
- קומה 2: קומה ראשונה
- קומה 3: קומה מעל
- קומה 4: חניון גג
ברור לי שבעקבות אי הבנות רבות מישהו כתב בטוש אפס ליד 1- כי אנשים פשוט לא הבינו שמשם אפשר לצאת. לפחות ככה נראה לי. אבל למה קומה 2 נקראת קומה ראשונה? ולמה קומה 3 נקראת קומה מעל?
Israel and Moon Settlement?
I enjoy The Dilbert Blog so much, I feel I have to point to it from time to time. Two of Scott Adams’ latest posts really made me laugh:
Favorite quote from My Middle-Sized Problems:
I have only been married for a few months, so maybe someone can tell me how long it takes before a wife stops asking when you plan to fix things. I have my fingers crossed that it stops in a few more weeks.
Favorite quote from Moon Real Estate:
You can pretty much predict the next thousand years of lunar history. It goes like this:
- The base station solves all of the technical problems of living on the moon.
- A rich guy builds an ultra expensive tourist destination on the moon.
- Lots of other rich guys build hotels and casinos on the moon.
- The cost of lunar colonization falls.
- Israel starts building settlements on the moon because land is free.
- Muslims see this as an insult because the symbol of Islam is the crescent moon and they don’t want Jews living all over their symbol.
- Islamic terrorists will try to use rockets built by North Korea to fly to the moon and blow up stuff.
- The North Korean rockets will keep missing the moon.
- Islamic terrorists will start blowing up more stuff than usual in America because it doesn’t require any North Korean rockets.
Nintendo Wii Safety Manual
The Nintendo Wii looks like a great gaming console, being the first to have a motion sensing remote (check out this video). I’m not into gaming, so I wouldn’t report it unless the crazy safety manual that comes in the Japanese version.
Following the hilarious entry, some people added “the missing pages”, which are just as funny.
7th Graders And Time Machines
Check out this funny post about what 7th graders wrote when asked to write about what they’ll do with a time machine.
By the way, this post is from the excellent The Old New Thing – Raymond Chen’s blog.
The Self Stirring Mug Video
From the “I am not making this up” department comes the self stirring mug. Readers of this blog are welcome to get me one of these for my upcoming 30th birthday. Not really. (via Digg)

Funny Inventions Roundup Video
Absolutely Hillarious. My favorite quote:

Ace looks for the fish in the monitor
I let Ace watch a video sample of a cat movie in a loop. Cat movies are intended to interest the cat and draw its attention. About 3 minutes and 20 seconds into the video, Ace gets upset at the fish swimming inside the screen and goes looking for them.
