I wonder if this lends any more credence to stories of giant octopi attacking ships in the old days? Perhaps old sailing vessels looked like tasty sharks or whales passing by? Follow the digg story link back to a video of an octopus killing a shark at an aquarium in Seattle. Impressive!
From DIGG:
A giant octopus takes on a shark in a video like something from a horror movie, Octopuses are remarkable creatures, and are much more intelligent than you may think.
Chu-Wan and I had our first christmas tree in 1999. It was a live tree that was about 3 feet tall when we planted it.
Now it is about 12 feet tall and I noticed today while cleaning the pool that it is forming pine cones for the first time!
This is not a review. This is a promise!
Manhattan Pizza & Subs has been on 7th Street in Phoenix since 1984. I’ve been eating there since 1987. In all that time, only once, in 1987, did I eat a pizza there, at lunch time on a work day. It took them so long to cook it that I got in trouble at work – I had to take it to go, and still I got back to the office late and had to hear about it. (They didn’t actually care that I worked 70 hours a week on unpaid overtime, all they cared was that I was back from lunch before 1:01.)
I didn’t get to enjoy the pizza and I’ve just not tried again. In the intervening 18 years, I’ve eaten hundreds of sandwiches there. I love ’em. Especially the #10, pictured here.
This is my promise to you. I will eat a pizza there in the month of August and review it.
Now that I’ve committed to it, I can’t back out. It’s a done deal.
I was just checking the statistics on my web site and I’m always surprised at what people are looking for: Here are the top search phrases that lead people to my page.
I guess it just goes to show… come to think of it, I’m not sure what it shows.
Tuesday night my office building was struck by lightning. Most of the monitors in the building were left on, but in power saving mode. This was the result!
Wednesday morning, many of the older CRT type monitors looked like this when we turned them on.
That background should be solid blue. This photo was taken by a co-worker and better than the ones I took with my cameraphone.
If anyone was in the building when this one struck, I’ll bet their hair was standing on end!
I don’t generally write entries commenting on news articles, but this one is too much of a hoot to pass up.
Some pretentious wanker filled a bottle of water with melted ice from the Antarctic, placed it on a plinth and had the audacity to call it “art.” More than just plain audacity, he’s valued it at £42,500!
That in itself would be a funny story, but the kicker is that someone apparently drank it in the middle of the exhibition!
While I would never advocate theft, this is just too poetic for words, in fact, there’s the art in this whole situation. It’s beautiful, thought-provoking and it moves me emotionally.
Posted the first episode of Ninja Team Video Project over at ninjateam.com, you can link to episode 1 here.
To be honest, there’s not much in the episode, but I wanted a short, explanatory piece posted first so that people could go back and refer to it later on.
BBC just posted the first pictures of the 10th Doctor’s costume. The series is currently in production for airing next year (with a Christmas special this year, probably around December, I’d guess)
Well, at least it is a lot more traditional. I have hopes the new Doctor might actually do something in the new series, not just watch everyone else save the day…
Check out the official Doctor Who website for more information!
I want that sign on the left as a T-Shirt
Yesterday, James made his first forward-motive action, crawling (lurching, really) off his tummy pillow towards a toy he wanted. I missed the moment, but Chu-Wan was ready with the camera.
