String Theory in Two Minutes or Less
If strings are the fundamental unit of everything then...
What Are Strings Made Of:
- nothing
- everything
- pure thought
- energy emanating from the harmonic dance of the cosmic void
- spiritual ichor
- gnome farts
- pixie dust
- aether
- god
- 42
- or just a bunch of horseshyt which exists only in the minds of a handful of manic theoretical math weenies desperate to prove something. Anything.
0/0. Ha, take that mathboy.

Choggie's Roast Thread (Parody Talk Post)
No need to come up with stuff. Everything is already out there!

When I type "Choggies Comments" into the Anagram Generator it comes up with
"Hectic Gnomes Smog" amongst others (pretty accurate description if you ask me)
If you google "Choggie" in images, the 🇩🇪official&client=firefox-a&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi">first hit is a Dachshund
'nuff said
A toast to the roast!
archive.org support (Sift Talk Post)
I get a "movie not loaded" error message from Galeon, the Gnome web browser. It looks like it can't handle the ojbect tag correctly. Which is weird since it's supposed to use the same engine as Firefox. Gnome/Galeon sucks anyway.

Gnomes stealing underwears or something?
Fawlty Towers - Dont Panic!
I think thats the following scene, actually, he trips the gnome in this one, picks it up, stares at it ,and calls O'Reilly (IIRC)
Fawlty Towers - Dont Panic!
I like the line before this scene which goes something like "and if you don't do it right, I shall stick a large garden gnome into you" which at the end, he is heading off to O'Rielly carrying a garden gnome.

Blood elf female - According to the Burning Crusade Collector's Edition DVD, the blood elf female dance is made up of excerpts from various Britney Spears videos. More accurately, the dance was taken from a Korean "iDance" video. The dancer seems to take a few moves from Britney, but otherwise it should be stated that the choreography is hers.

Incredible 3D Printer
So this is what I thought of when I first watched this - Does it count as theft if you find something on the internet, say a plastic gnome, and print it out on your 3D printer? Sure, they only have 2D images on most things for now, but in the near future, that could change. What are companies to do when their products are being made instead of bought for a fraction of the cost?
And yes, I realize these things are created in a CAD program, but one day they might not be. One day you might be able to take any 3D image and print it out.
BBC reported WTC7 Collapse while it was still standing!!
It wasn't as if the collapse of WTC 7 was a huge surprise. We had been told that the building was burning and in danger of collapse for some time that day. After WTC 1 and 2 had collapsed -- an event that had previously seemed impossible to most people -- the media were very primed to be the first to report on the seemingly inevitable collapse of WTC 7. Yeah, the reporter looked pretty ridiculous standing in front of a building that had not collapsed, while reporting its collapse, but if this was some sort of a conspiracy, how is that mistake any evidence at all?
1) Option 1: The Beeb was part of the conspiracy and the reporter jumped in with her bit way too early. Uh, right. Even many of the conspiracy theorists on that BBC thread think that the BBC was most likely fed false info from some nefarious someones somewhere, rather than being part of the Cabal.
2) Option 2: The BBC, poor dupes, were fed the prescient info too early AND the reporter didn't look behind and see the intact building before reporting on its demise. This requires TWO mistakes, not just one.
3) Option 3: On a horrible, confused, overwhelming day, the reporter screwed up. No conspiracy required.
Some days, I think the 9/11 conspiracy theorists should join forces with the underpants gnomes:
1) Odd bit of data
2) ???
3) CONSPIRACY!!
Upvote for the primary material and the discussion, not for the conspiracy theories.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
your average mac user can't add a WEP key either,
Well, there is a wide breadth of Mac users. Sure there are the graphic design/video/sound people who might have problems with the more techie stuff -
Then there are the would be Linux users who want all the goodies that Linux offers with a much better UI than anything from KDE or Gnome. (ooh, I may have just opened a second OS war front)
How to Get a Satellite Image of Any IP Address in the World
Start -> Run ?
Hmmmm I don't see that in Gnome.
But yeah this guys seems to not know the difference between a domain name and an ip address.
Almost President
Few will understand this without context, but I thought it was funny enough to share: Poland has a Prime Minister and a President.
From VS.pl: http://www.videosift.pl/story.php?id=4866
Well in the last election a pair of twins were elected to office. One was elected president, the other to parliament. Like in many countries with parliaments, any member of parliament can, in theory, become Prime Minister.
Well, long story short, government got reshuffled and the 2nd twin is now PM, making some people upset - in part b/c they promised that they wouldn't both be in the top two positions, yet they now are.
Translations (Prawie jak means "almost like" ... some need no translation but I'll be thorough)
Soviet era sedan: "Almost a coupe"
Chicken: "Almost an eagle"
Hugs: "Almost like love"
Backyard: "Almost like being in Saint Tropez"
Gnomes: "Almost like art"
Race: "Almost a champion"
Final: "Almost a real election"
"*Almost* makes a great difference"

President Lech - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lech_Kaczy%C5%84ski
PM Jarosław - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaros%C5%82aw_Kaczy%C5%84ski
And yes, their name is spelled essentially the same way as that of the Unabomber, I know - except for the original Polish letter "ń"
Thanks ender.
