A bunch of Youtube atheists are doing a charity event for Doctors Without borders. They're getting some big names this year. PZ Meyers and James Randi will be joining them. It's a 24 hour event and it already started. But PZ and James Randi are on at the end, so tomorrow. The schedule and link to the broadcast itself are in the link below. The schedule is in crazy British time so, PZ is on at 7am EST and James Randi will be on at 9am, followed by Matt Dillahunty from Atheist Experience at 10am. Last year there were some boobs flashed. so go watch it and donate. http://scikidus.com/dprjones/
This is the seventh largest earthquake in recorded history, and the biggest earthquake to hit Japan in the last 140 years. The coast was hit with a 30 foot tsunami (which has also been affecting countries all around the Pacific Rim to varying degrees). Some nuclear reactors are having difficulty cooling down, leading to fears of radiation leaks. Help out however you can.
The Law of Inverse Value: the less you contribute to society, the greater the trauma you can sustain with minimal to no physical sequelae, including falls from 3 stories, stabbings (chest, neck, head, slashings to the face), gunshot wounds (chest, neck, pelvis, leg, traumatic arrest (only to be killed 7 years later in a separate GSW incident)), and high speed MVC's, unrestrained, where multiple people in the other vehicle are killed.
No matter how badly constipated you are, a vodka enema is not a good idea.
Do not suck on snake bite so that you can spread the venom to MORE parts of your body.
When attempting a self-circumcision do not use dry ice to numb the area... and when the dry ice sticks to the... a.... area, do not attempt to remove the ice with boiling water.
I think you draw on a page and some other server elsewhere stores it so anyone else who uses the goggles on that page will see what you wrote. It's like semi-secret graffiti.
Or someone could host their own goggles server which would require a different bookmark thingy to activate the scribbles stored on THAT server. Then it'd be even more secret.
I'm very glad you posted this. Not only is it funny, but it prompted me to look on Amazon to see how much Xenogears is. I found a cheap, like new copy, complete with all materials, for free shipping. Booyah.
So last weekend when I was really drunk with a bunch of friends at a birthday party, we played this one game-- I don't know if it actually had a name, but it was like Picture Telephone. Everyone sits in a circle at a table or hard surface, and everyone has a piece of paper. At the start of the game, you write a sentence. Then you pass it to the person next to you. Their job is to draw a picture of your sentence, fold the paper over so the sentence isn't showing, and pass it on. The next person has to write a sentence about the picture. Next person, sentence. It goes on and on, and everyone's busy the entire game because there are as many papers floating as there are people.
I'd imagine the game is entertaining even while sober, but man, at the end of the game when we were just reading over the transformations, they were SO FUNNY. My sentence started off as a bad drug trip where elven people forced me to fight a dragon, turned into Trogdor burninating the country side, and ended up as Godzilla attacking a city while Frankenstein was chasing me. There were a couple other freaking hilarious pictures too....
It has potential, anyway. Could we perhaps start something like this on the OB, but through PMs? It's funnier in person just because the pressure it on to draw something as fast as you can to not hold up the group, but I figure we could make something of it.
It was a really, really funny game, I'd recommend it for anyone going to a party anytime soon.
We played that paper telephone game at a movie night party. It turned out really well! It reminds me of Witchs Brew with sentences describing the panels in between, and it doesn't try to tell a story.
Gallows was built as a prop for some wild west reenactment thing that a significant portion of my immediate family has gotten involved in. They have for some time been making old dresses and cowboy costumes and amassing an arsenal of fake pistols and such.
I helped put together a gallows that they maybe can use to pretend to hang a pretend bank robber. It sorta broke a little when we were packing it on the trailer (nails didn't hold) so it'll take some more engineering and testing before it'll pass as a safe stage prop.
This is a bit of self promotion, but I've got a blog I'm starting now.
This isn't just a blog about my day. Recently I decided that I would read through the Bible from start to finish just to see what it says when read literally and since I don't really have anything to say when I have discussions with Christians who tell me "it has this amazing unity and prophecies and such". Ryan suggested that I blog my journey so he can read it too, so I thought I'd share it here. Feel free to ignore it, debate it with me on my blog, or whatever. Just thought I'd publicize it a bit.
Dude. I'm gonna be all over that. When I read (about 1/4 of) the Bible I liked to pretend that it was all literal but from a contemporary human's perspective. Like if they just said a flaming sword was guarding the tree of life because they didn't understand lasers.
Just to clarify for everyone: feel free to say anything you like in the comments of the blog, as long as it's not vitriolic. Go crazy with historical interpretation, knowledge of what's coming up in the Bible, or just random conversation. I'm not publicizing this widely--it's pretty much just for my own use and you few close friends. So go nuts!
I watched Thor Saturday night. Made for a good "Rature" activity I guess. There was quite a lot of lightning and thunder to be seen that night after the movie which was cool and maybe a bit coincidental after watching a movie about a god of thunder, but it wasn't quite a rapture. A bit disappointing on that part.
As for the movie, it was a pretty typical Marvel superhero movie if you ask me which isn't a bad thing. It was also the first time I watched a movie in 3D. I gotta say the 3D things is interesting, but it was really more distracting in action scenes. I'm not sure I'd pay the extra for 3D in the future. At least it's good to know that I could see the 3D effect fine and it did not make me motion sick like a sister of mine had watch Avatar 3D.

A walkthrough of all the things in Xenogears that make absolutely no sense. If you've played Xenogears, this is funny as shit.

So...not really all that much like Witchs brew.
