It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.

I am now sick.

If I recall I saw that video a few years back on TechTV/G4, like on Cinematech, or on a computer in a store. Cool video though.

I get a bit irritated at times with stuff like this because i get emails all the goddamned time with this type of urban legend crap that any thinking person should be able to see through.

So I wasn't thinking. Even though it's CGI, I still thought it was cool and hadn't seen it before.

Trust, I delete waaaayyy more shit then I post. I think the only other thing I've posted here from email was Halloween cat bowling.

Oh, and I almost posted this joke, but then thought better of it and deleted it.

Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates. "In honor of this holy season," Saint Peter said, "you must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven"

The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. "It represents a candle," he said.

"You may pass through the pearly gates," Saint Peter said.

The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, "They're bells."

Saint Peter said, "You may pass through the pearly gates."

The third man started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties.

St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, "And just what do those symbolize?"

The man replied, "These are Carols."

yep - in theory it may be possible, but you have such a small margin of error that you'd need to account for the way the string is vibrating from the previous ball, in order to calculate the trajectory of the current ball (since the vibration would cause the ball to bounce differently compared to a still string).

Do you desire compensation as well?
Because you know, we could meet up by the watercooler and sort things out.

This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort between the
Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of
Engineering at the University of Iowa. Amazingly, 97% of the machines
components came from John Deere Industries and Irrigation Equipment of
Bancroft Iowa, yes farm equipment!

It took the team a combined 13,029 hours of set-up, alignment,
calibration, and tuning before filming this video but as you can see it
was WELL worth the effort.

It is now on display in the Matthew Gerhard Alumni Hall at the
University and is already slated to be donated to the Smithsonian.

hahah you fool. this isn't even CGI. i've got this realtime demo, it came with my video card.


hahahahaahahahaha

Because we all google the validity of the video clips we watch before bothering to watch them.
