it goes by the name of "Planarity" and would be well placed in a mensa exam.

If the instructions baffle you, then i`m sure you aint alone.
You gotta worry about people who use the word "vertices".
Any way move the dots so the black lines dont cross.

The second one is a little less taxing.

Can i get an amen ?




A critical analysis of probably the most widely sampled drum break in electronica`s history.

From NWA to the backbone beat of drum and bass to Squarepusher to Jeep adverts and beyond.
This documentary charts the path of 6 seconds of pure soul rhythm taken from the Winston`s 1969 b-side amen brother.

And questions the legality of ownership, copyright and its relationship with cultural expression.

Bad Joke Du Jour

A bloke starts his new job at the zoo and is given three tasks. The first is to clear the exotic fish pool of weeds. As he does this a huge fish jumps out and bites him. To show the others who's boss, he beats it to death with a spade. Realizing his employer won't be best pleased he disposes of the fish by feeding it to the lions, as lions will eat anything.

Moving on to the second job of clearing out the Chimp house, he is attacked by the chimps who pelt him with coconuts. He swipes at two chimps with a spade, killing them both. What can he do? Feed them to the lions, he says to himself, because lions eat anything.

He moves on to the last job which is to collect honey from the South American Bees. As soon as he starts he is attacked by the bees. He grabs the spade and smashes the bees to a pulp. By now he knows what to do and throws them into the lion's cage - because lions eat anything.

Later that day a new lion arrives at the zoo. He wanders up to another lion and says, "What's the food like here?"

The other lions say, "Absolutely brilliant. Today we had fish and chimps with mushy bees."

the following is a message from some bald guy who gets very wound up about those very words

The issue with your post is the "eating out" line - I think that's pretty obvious by now. Had this recent post been your first post, I may have let it go. But as this is your second post, with the same message I asked you to remove the first time, the end result is the same.

I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here. I may not have explained myself well last PM. The choice is yours.

me and the missis had dinner here last week , after loads of hype from my work mates and seeing that you lot kinda like the place too , i thought we`d give it a go .

but having said that we did order a plate of anchovy beef on my work mates instructions, which i would discribe as a medium light to the meal .

the anchovy beef did end up providing the nights entertainment tho` . after the server tried to put us off ordering it . but it proved too much for wifee as she kinda stopped eating after a few tastes. i inquired as to why? as i was enjoying the raw beef that had been rendered a pale pink from lime juice and pounded with anchovy fillets. and cut to flat and fleshy strips.

Really Crap Joke


Count Dracula is out "on the pull" in Glasgow.

He spends the night drinking Bloody Marys in various clubs and biting on
unsuspecting women's necks.

He is heading for home, wandering along Argyle street sometime before
sunrise.

Suddenly he is hit on the back of the head. He looks round and sees
nothing. He looks down and sees a small sausage roll. Mmm, he thinks.
What's going on here.

A few yards further on and ........Bang ! He's smacked on the back of the
head again! He whirls round as quick as he can - nothing. Again he looks
down and there is a small triangular sandwich lying on the ground. How
odd!

A few yards further along the street and........Crash! He's smacked on the
back of the head again!! He whirls round as quick as he can - nothing.
He's getting really angry now. Again he looks down and there is a cocktail
sausage lying on the ground.

He stands and peers into the darkness of the night. Nothing.

He walks a few yards further on when he gets a tap on the shoulder.

With a swirl of his cape and a cloud of mist he turns as fast as he can.
He feels a sharp pain in his heart. He falls to the ground clutching his
chest, which is punctured by a small cocktail stick laden with a chunk of
cheese and a pickled onion.

On the ground dying, he looks up and sees an attractive young female. With
his dying breath he gasps, "Who the hell are you ?"

btw, 62% turn out in my home towns constituency, maybe there`s more of us that have *$#@ed off than i thought, or equally as blasé about which utterly dull guy ru(i)ns the country.

The Corporation

Before i say more , or indeed to much on this one, i feel the need for a mindlessly dull disclaimer , for i`m no hippy people , not in the slightest, i will go on record as having never hugged a tree, ever.

As some of you may be familiar with a past trait of mine as being a label whore ( yes past trait, good people as i have been finding it all tirelessly pointless in my married 30 something incarnation ), a wandering billboard for others has been getting very `92 for me in recent years.

But , having said that the pursuit of profit, both personal and professional has had a strong hold on my work ethic for the last 17 years. I must also say that after watching "The Corporation", i`m kinda envious of my lovely wife as she has a blossoming career within the non-profit sector.

I`m also struggling with my ideals of ambition and prosperity for the wife and i, as "The Corporation" turns the high street on its head, and about time too.

does wanting a new flat screen monitor make me a bad guy ?

and i find myself wishing that i didn`t crave starbuck`s lattes so damn much , and there was a convenient alternative but hey thats another issue .

but i`m just a cook , right ? . one that has been favouring independent business as an employer.

Guess-the-google

the google inspired image guessing game

stop rolling your eyes at the back and pay attention. you could learn something here

hmmmmmmm not really !

any way play to your hearts content Here

my top score is a whopping 369 , how about that then eh ?

This year's race-baiting ice cream product is...

.....Sweden's "Nogger Black," ice cream


have a look here

"Nogger" is apparently an existing ice cream product, an ice cream bar previously available in vanilla encased in chocolate, with a nougat center. Nogger Black substitutes toffee for the nougat and encases the vanilla ice cream in "crispy salty licorice." Which, in addition to everything else, sounds a lot less appetizing. (Northern European cuisine suffers from a regrettable impulse to make everything taste like herring.) Licorice is black, hence the dubiously entitled "Nogger Black."

Sweden's Centre Against Racism points out that the logo is rendered graffiti-style, which would seem to suggest that the association with black urban culture is deliberate. My guess is that GB Glace thought it was being "edgy" by emulating black hipsters who use the N word (but who certainly wouldn't condone its enunciation by any pale-skinned Swede). The company comes close to admitting this. "Even if the word 'black' in the logo is inspired by graffiti, we don't see anything wrong with that, nor about alluding to black culture or hip-hop," a GB Glace spokeswoman told Reuters. Not even when it's paired with a word that's one letter away from the most toxic racial epithet in the English language? "We certainly had no intention that the name, 'Nogger', would be associated with any negative word." This statement makes me want to summon a wide-eyed, rage-shaken, and magnificently dignified Sidney Poitier, circa 1966, to answer, "The word ... is Noggro!"

Ferrari Formula 1 Team change

The Ferrari Formula 1 Team fired their entire pit crew yesterday.
The announcement followed Ferrari's decision to take advantage of the UK Government's Youth Opportunity scheme and employ people from Glasgow.

The decision to hire them was brought on by a recent documentary on how unemployed youths from the Glasgow area were able to remove a set of wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas Ferrari's existing crew can only do it in 8 seconds with millions of euros worth of high tech equipment.

Tony Blair went on record as saying this was a bold move by the Ferrari management, which demonstrated the international recognition of the UK under New Labour.

As most races are won and lost in the pits, Ferrari now have an advantage over every team. However, Ferrari may have got more than they bargained for...At the crew's first practice session, the Glasgow pit crew successfully changed the tyres in under 6 seconds, and then within another 12 seconds they had re-sprayed, re-badged, and sold the vehicle to the McLaren team for 8 bottles of Stella, a kilo of speed and some photos of Coulthard's bird in the shower

i found this restaurant review online

"My partner and I went to this restaurant last night having heard great reviews. In all, the food and service were excellent. However, there were two great exceptions that overshadowed the entire evening. Firstly, the chef decided to take out his own sodium deficiency out on my poor rack of beef ribs. There was enough encrusted salt to melt an ice rink. Secondly, and by far the worst still, we were unfortunate enough to be sat next to a table of six thirty-something professionals revellers, who thought it would be funny to scream, throw food and then draw beards and moustaches on each others faces with a burnt wine cork, impersonating horrid world dictators and Craig David. One of the revellers then catapulted himself to my table and asked if he could draw a monobrow and moustache across my face. Although I fervently refused, he went ahead anyway, and I was left looking ridiculous. I was shocked and appauled, especially when the whole restaurant including my partner (now ex.) also laughed. Yet to my astonishment, when I complained, the waitress said to me "chill out man, can't you see they're having fun". Today, I remain so shocked and upset, that I have taken a day off."

the place in question is
The Anchor & Hope
36 The Cut, London, SE1 8LP

It's unusual use of composited still images ( photographs taken in Cuba, circa 1970s ) to create strangley three-dimensional scenes that shift and reform while you watch.
