En nu ga ik naar bed denk ik.

Eric Meyer on CSS: Tricking Browsers and Hiding Styles. Fijn om weten, of beter: fijn om het allemaal nog eens bij elkaar te zien.

Heh, ’t was daarjuist het money shot van Legend of the Werewolf. Slécht!! 🙂

What European Tribes Think About One Another. Tee hee.

I PITY DA FOOL WHO DON’T READ THIS INTERVIEW! YOU SCARED, AINTCHA? AINTCHA?

If I couldn’t read, I wouldn’t have gotten the part in Rocky III. If you can’t read, the only thing you can do is enjoy the pictures, not the whole story. Reading is the key to knowledge. Knowledge is the key to understanding. So read on, young man! Read on, young lady! I’m an inspiration, because I’m a product of the ghetto. I was born and raised in the ghetto. But the ghetto wasn’t born and raised in me. I come from a family of 12. I’ve got seven brothers and four sisters. I never robbed nobody, I never raped nobody, I didn’t use drugs. That’s the message I give to the kids now: “What’s slowing you down? Why can’t you make it? You can make it if you want.” I love and respect my mother, and that’s the message I tell the kids?white kids, black kids, whatever. They need to know that Mr. T is real, and that’s the advantage we have. Batman, Rifleman, Superman, Iron Man, Tin Man, they might be nice guys, but they’re not real. [etc etc etc]

Mr. T rules:

Right now, I’m free. I can say it like it is. If I run for president, people will say, “No, Mr. T, don’t write about drugs, you’re the president.” Politics, they make strange bedfellows, with deals and whatnot. I couldn’t be a president. It ain’t worth the headache or the pressure. The money’s too low, and all that stuff. There’s stuff that’d make me dangerous. I’m educated.

Loads more where that came from:

I go out and see a kid grabbing his crotch. Ain’t nobody telling them that. Where do they get it from? They watch MTV. I say, “If you wash up more often, you won’t have to grab your crotch.” I’m telling these guys, “Why you gotta grab your crotch?” Then you see Michael Jackson grabbing his crotch 50 times. What’s with him? Dangerous stuff.

Die vliegtuigen tegenwoordig, ’t is niet moeilijk dat ze rond Area 51 over UFO’s spreken.

Het ding hierboven is de nieuwe Boeing Bird of Prey. Whatever next? Cloaking Devices?

Oooooo Peter Cushing in Legend of the Werewolf!! Late night horror op bbc!

Kom het tegen… het begint hier ineens te hagelen!

En ik ben XEmacs al zó grondig beu. Het loopt echt wel om het kwartier vast, op de meest vieze manieren:

’t Zal voor een andere keer zijn vrees ik. Of toch minstens, voor op een beter keyoard dan deze portable, en een slechter operating system dan deze Windows XP.

Bon, ik ga dus echt mijn best doen, maar het wordt mij niet echt gemakkelijk gemaakt. Ik loop een beetje vast in de verwarring van menu’s, en ik besluit dan maar opnieuw te beinnen, en wat krijg ik te zien?

Pfff. Not impressed, ik heb nochtans een stabiele build gedownload. En ga mij niet vertellen dat ik de linuxversie had moeten pakken, of de cygwin in plaats van de nativer versie, Windows is begod het meest gebruikte platform ter wereld en XEmacs moet zich begod maar aanpassen. Ha!

Het begint slecht: 5 seconden om op te starten, en als het er dan is, is het niet meteen om over naar huis te schrijven van properheid:

Ik vraag mij echt af waarom die mensen niet ergens één iemand een propere lay-out laten maken voor hun software. Het is maar een kleine moeite, en het zou veel van die programma’s zó veel aangenamer maken…

I bit the bullet. Not all the way, mind you: installing XEmacs, not Emacs.

Schaakhumor. De Albrecht in mij lacht tranen met tuiten.

President Bush signed the Congressional resolution granting him power to use military force whenever he feels like it. One thing’s for sure. There are a few counties in Florida that had better vote for Jeb if they know what’s good for them. [Argus Hamilton]

Creepy!

On this site you’ll find some of the hundreds of examples of music with the reversals that you can hear. Backward masking is where a section that has already been recorded is spliced into the original song backwards. Then if someone plays the song backwards you can then understand it, however forwards doesn’t reveal anything intelligible.

And even more spooky:

Research by David Oates has lead to his theory that children learn to speak backwards before they do forwards. David drew this conclusion after listening to many different children in reverse from very when they were born to toddler age. His first reversal discovery was at age 4 months old where he found single words. Then as the child grew more than one word could be found to form short sentences.

Not the kind of thing I’m comfortable listening to alone in the dark. Brrrr.

Woman bites hubby to death after he turns down sex
Kelli Pratt, 45, is accused of holding down her feeble 65-year-old husband and biting him repeatedly after he refused sex. Arthur Pratt, whose skin was riddled with more than 20 deep tooth marks, died Sunday — six days after the attack. “We have a tape recording of him screaming while she was biting him,” says a cop. “When officers arrived, he was screaming that he’d been assaulted. She fought with the officers and tried to bite them, too.” (Modesto Bee)
