They were talking about this on last week's show while discussing SkyMall magazine. One of them imagined a giant sky mall warehouse somewhere in the middle of America, filled with hot dog toasters and speakers that look like rocks.

BTW, these guys do a very funny video game podcast.

This should be combined with the "Universe in Powers of 10" video, because, you know, we are all human-centric.

Very affecting!

My wife can't watch it, reminds her of j-horror.

Almost the EXACT same injury happened to a cowoker of mine this year (2009), but she wasn't playing soccer, she was just turning around, in very high heels, in the bathroom. she crab walked out on her own power and banged for help, I was the first one to see her and called 911. her foot was pointing the wrong way too. She broke three bones in her ankle.

I love this game (really, multiple play throughs), but I can't approve of this, its pure spoiler. Isn't there a nice "best of" collection of clips out there?

Learn to cook. Or if you already cook, cook more often. If you need motivation watch Robert Rodriguez' '10 minute cooking school' special feature on the "Once upon a Time in Mexico" DVD. and I quote: "Not being able to cook is like not being able to fuck."

For the fundamentals, buy "How to Cook Everything" or "How to Cook Everything Vegetarian" by Mark Bittman, it covers the main ingredient groups (grains, meats, fruits, etc), recipe types (soups, breakfasts, pies, etc), and equipment.

I LOVE weekends because I can start they day with something awesome like a quiche or stuffed crepes, start some bread dough, go to a farmers market and supermarket/butcher for fresh ingredients, make a nice salad/sandwich for lunch (left over roast beef and sauerkraut, yum), do some errands (or bake a pie with fresh fruit), and finish the day with a nice oven roast (pork loin or beef rib roast with veggies), fresh bread and wine.

TURN OFF THE GOD DAMN CHAIN SAW.

I was sure there would be a second disaster.

When did Dylan become Waits?

>> ^spawnflagger:
Sandra was right - I had no idea who Ryan Reynolds was...
this was totally staged, but still hilarious.


It didn't even try to look real. there were several cameras and many cuts. and its from "Funny or Die", a skit comedy Web site. how did this comment even enter someone's head? its like watching Speed and smugly stating "That was fake."

please, up vote spoco2's comment.

srsly, WTF?

Time to bring back the speakeasies!

Holy fucking shit. my lats are aching from watching.

Oh, and he looked like a freak. eats some god damned carbs man!

That looked INSANELY dangerous. How much thrust did he have left to decelerate and control his landing?

Incredible episode. I treasured a dirty, home made VHS copy back in the day.

Snatch was the VERY FIRST movie I every downloaded on Kazaa. Ironically, I never actually watched it. I only showed the opening minute (the robbery) to people to show them how bloated DVD's were, and how it was completely viable to DEMAND that movies be made availible by download. I tried watching it once, it wasn't very good (didn't get past brad Pitt's intro).

Over 8 years later, I can finally watch half decent films online via Netflix (the quality of their silverlight video has gotten much better recently).

Spoco, I'm not sure you are right. Holograms store interference fringes from a diffraction grating in holographic media. You can then take the burned media and shine light (same wavelength as the original incident light) on it from the reverse angle (originating from where the scattered light would have landed behind the media) and you will get an image of the original diffraction grating projected on a screen (or eye). you can store entirely different fringe patterns at different angles in the same spot (within the limits set by the physical lattice of the media and the wavelength of light being used), but in typical holograms you store the fringe pattern of the SAME grating at a different angle.

It looks like these things accomplish these end result: a recording of fringes for a given diffraction grating on a media. Sure, the images aren't actually produced by light, but I don't think that is a requirement. The point is that his scratching pattern contains the information required to reconstruct the point sources that would have created such an image for multiple incident angles.

This is what makes holographic data storage so exciting, storing a whole X by X grid worth of information on some Y by Y by Y chunk of media, and storing ANOTHER X by X grid of info ON THE SAME SPOT at a different angle.

PS I'm drunk. and this guy is my hero.
