Laughter algorithms
Friday, November 17th, 2006Wow. Sometimes I really hate the way friendster works… remind me to never press any of the tabs while editing my post - because, unlike Google (which is clever), Friendster is stoopid.
Having lost my brilliantly funny post, I declare this one a Tribute to the best Post in the World.
The best post in the world being the last one wot I writ. This is the truncated, and much less funny version. You’ll just have to imagine …
I read xkcd.com because I like the comic … and now, he’s done a ‘funniest pic in the world’ algorithm (maybe he’s just bubblesorting, but whatever).
Samples below… and then a link ;) Lucky you!
I wish I’d been this smart at school … Damn their brainwashing!
In aaaaaany case, the image choices are tainted with my bias. For lots more:
the funniest images (don’t forget to vote)
Don’t have a cow-man!
Tuesday, November 14th, 2006Wow… Watched on bbc news:
Freaky. Scientists want to be able to shove human DNA into a cow egg so they can create embryos which are part human, part cow. This blend is known as a Chimera (defined as part human, part other). The embryo at the end will be 99.9% human, 0.1% cow.
My personal background is scientific, but that really WAS not presented well!! Hahahaa.
What if the scientists wanted to let the chimera embryos grow? :o Think of the bullying potential if they ever live to primary school age! <insert obligatory arbitrary joke here> What about racism? Religion?
*light bulb*
Immunity from Hindus! (or would they stone you for deity dilution?)
White supremacy! (except for that 0.1%)
Udders! (no, I don’t get it either)
You get to be a chimera outside of Dungeons and Dragons circles
Letterman will pay you lots to go on their show
Sooooo … I’m not against this - stem cell research is important, but damn, they aren’t doing themselves any favours with the way it’s being described.
Why don’t they use cats instead? I bet there are thousands of pet lovers that’d want to nurture a cat/human cross :p
omg I’m such a girl!
Monday, November 6th, 2006As we’ve discussed previously, (keep up - there’ll be tests soon) I was going to make a teenage blog. I feel it’s fitting to subtly disguise my urge to tell people that I’m currently infatuated with a girlie anime by blaming it on the fact that I’m pretending to be an angsty teenage girl with C-cups (again, keep up).
It COULD be that there’s a distinct drought in the number of decent animes around, which means I’m watching girl-anime… but there’s something about "Nana" that keeps me watching. Characterisation? Hmm, relatively simple … songs? Catchy, but repetitive. Weird relationships? Self reflection? Perhaps all of the above.
I should also mention here (out of character) that I watch action-filled, testosterone-fuelled, ultra-manly films with guns and bombs. Just to prove that it’s not oestrogen that flows through my veins you understand. And while we’re on the subject … Neil Patrick Harris was outed! Omg! Coolest ultra-cool, chauvanist character on tv series was gh3y! Damnit!
Aaaaaaaanyways. Girlie rant over. Now go force yourself to watch Nana already. Esp if you’re some kinda girl. Or if you’re in some kinda relationship with a woman.
Everyone has a mum, so get to it.
PS. Devil Wears Prada. Omg. Those outfits!
