Here's one....

How deep is a frog pond?

Knee-deep. Knee-deep.

Here's another....

What do you call a dog with no legs?

Doesn't matter, he's not going to come anyway.

Awesome! I'm not even a photographer, but I want to try this out.

This was very cool. I thought their Mac OS X welcome song was a bit odd, but you can't argue with the slick design of this video.

Ha! Awesome! The guys at work loved this one! At least the liberal, libertarian, and paleo-conservatives did. The neocons didn't find it as funny, but still appreciated the well done spoof.

Mac for me. I have a year-old MacBook Pro. First laptop I've ever owned without issues! Excellent machine. No going back fo me either.

My favorite is still Akiyoshi Kitaoka's Rotating Snake illusion: http://www.ritsumei.ac.jp/%7Eakitaoka/rotsnake.gif

Re: …It’s TGI Friday: Beer? at Didnt You Hear…

Don't drink beer, but I certainly have a soft spot for soda. Topping the list is probably Stewart's Key Lime.

...so graffiti's gone corporate - was only a matter of time.

Re: …You should start running and biking? at Didnt You Hear…

All good points. One of the suggestions was an mp3 player for runners. I'd recommend the iPod Nano. It works with something pictured in the photo Cory picked to showcase these articles, the Nike sensor. For about $30 extra, you can get a sensor to go in the bottom of your iPod that will record your runs and allow you to set goals. This was one of the most encouraging things to my wife and I as we started running late last year.

No worries, Mate! Good to see Joe Bloggs enjoying himself. Look forward to the posts when you return.

Re: …It’s TGI Friday: Travel?

Maasman — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 08:12:00 -0000

You should blog the highlights of your last trip, it'd be an interesting read. I've always thought the islands of Tahiti looked like the place to go, so that's where I'm placing my vote.

Wow! That's incredible. The shoes flying off make it look like he just shattered.

Re: …It’s Movie Monday: A Gentleman’s Duel?

Awesome film! I also enjoyed their Gopher Broke flick.

Re: …Root beer float cupcakes look delicious? at Didnt You Hear…

Okay. These look really good. Now I'll have to figure out how to cook.

Re: …It’s Website Wednesday: AfriGadget?

This is an incredible site. I'll be sharing this with my students today. Thanks!

Re: …It’s TGI Friday: The Swag Bag?

Maasman — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 10:23:02 -0000

Two things I like about this blog: 1. Content - Mostly stuff I hadn't heard before and edgy enough that I can (occasionally) use some of the things in my high school classes to interest the students; 2. Engaged Author - Cory is constantly trying to connect with his readership and improve the site. Kudos for a job well done!

Re: …Sound can play tricks on your mind? at Didnt You Hear…

This reminded me of the McGurk Effect. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McGurk_effect for explanation

Basically, if you watch the lips of the guy he seems to be saying "da da," but when you look away, you find he's actually saying "ba ba." The strange thing is that you can look away while he's saying it and it'll change for you.

I think this might be the best video: http://www.media.uio.no/personer/arntm/McGurk_l...
