So bizarre
A random vanity Google image search yeilded a hotlink (tsk tsk) to this picture:
It's a post to some sort of Russian game that seems to start with this image.
Here's a translated version.
So random. I originally blogged about the eggs here. I had a pretty cool husband. :>
Japanese commercials are so much better than ours
I wonder what a Japanese Superbowl commercial would be like...
Tom Cruise is crazy
So cool.
Don't be discouraged by the long intro.
Googlewhack!
Also: "fire rescue elvis" is a Googlewhack!
... well, at least until this post is indexed...
iPhone: Will it blend?
Ahahahaha! There are a million of these here. :)
Off to Michigan!
I am off to the UP (to hang with all the yoopers) and I shall be gone until Sunday night. For once, I am actually leaving my computer at home, though I am armed with my camera, so be prepared for photos. :)
Until then, here is a surreal cartoon for you all:
Bathtime at Clerkenwell
Let's dance.
Twelve Tone Masters!... with a guest appearance from Igor Stravinsky!
I actually can't listen to this without laughing so hard I cry.
WWO?
World Without Oil :: Document Your Life In The New Reality
I think this is a really interesting project. I believe that most Americans take our low low gas prices for granted and could really benefit from a shift in perception that something like this might bring. I think it's wonderful that something like this has been set up and I think it's even better that they seem to have a lot of participation... including some of my friends! Woo!
Now, I know that in the course of this project the 'price' of oil will rise. This is like, what, week 1? Week 2?
But.
I can't help it. I haven't driven at all since we moved here, so I'm still calibrated to UK gas prices. And I look at $4.25 per gallon and I think: Shit that's cheap!! :>
For comparison, because I haven't done this in a while and just to continue the raising awareness thing:
0.942 pounds/litre * 3.785 litres/gallon * 2.0046 dollars/pound (sweet JESUS when did that happen???) = $7.15 per gallon
Here's a list of what we're all paying (on average) around the United States
So for all of you taking part in this WWO project, I ask you to pause when the price gets up near $7.00. These oil crisis prices are what some people pay everyday. Just a thought.
