My current wallpaper.


By Brian FitzGerald on Sunday, November 06, 2005 - 8:33 pm:

That's really cool.


By R on Sunday, November 06, 2005 - 9:23 pm:

Ow. That make smy eyes hurt. Not good. Definately not good. *blinking*


By Influx on Monday, November 07, 2005 - 7:01 am:

I had that as a wallpaper for a projected PowerPoint presentaton. You should have seen the audience's reaction. "No, it's really not moving."

I love a lot of the illusions on that page.


By R on Monday, November 07, 2005 - 5:43 pm:

You mean it isnt moving on its own. Oh. Wow. That one really played with my astigmatism so I didn't go looking around the site. Are they all like that?

This is upsetting but I thought I should pass it
along. Check your driver's license. Now you can see
anyone's Driver's License on the Internet, including
your own! I just searched for mine and there it was.

Picture and all!! Thanks Homeland Security! Where
are our rights? I definitely removed mine. I suggest
you do the same. Go to the web site and check it out.
Just enter your name, city and state to see if yours
is on file. After your license comes on the screen,

click the box marked "Please Remove". This will
remove it from public viewing, but not from law
enforcement http://www.license.shorturl.com/


By Blue oops Berry on Tuesday, November 08, 2005 - 6:33 pm:

I found out this is just a joke. I just renewed my license and figured I could not change to "no view" yet so didn't try. Sorry.


By ScottN on Tuesday, November 08, 2005 - 8:35 pm:

Yes, it is a joke.

When in doubt, enter bogus info on the form, such as:

Hermann Munster
1313 Mockingbird Lane
Anytown, CA, 92929


By Influx on Wednesday, November 09, 2005 - 5:06 am:

Did you enter any other personal information, such as your license number, on that site?


Don't.


By Brian FitzGerald on Wednesday, November 09, 2005 - 7:02 am:

All it's got is First name, Last name, City and Zip zode. I think it is just a little joke and not any kind of a list builder to sell to junk mailers since that zip code is shared by hundreds of thousands.

How Jolly Can You Get Old Saint Nick? Use your arrow keys to move Santa. And stay off the train tracks! My highest score so far is 535.

This is so not right.


By Benn on Saturday, December 10, 2005 - 12:23 am:

Here's the first version of Sober Santa. I think I like it better.

Merry Christmas!

Which M*A*S*H character are you?

Me, I'm Hawkeye.


By Benn on Thursday, January 19, 2006 - 12:59 am:

For Next Generation fans. It's weird.

Live long and prosper.


By John A. Lang on Thursday, January 19, 2006 - 7:40 am:

I'm Father John Francis Patrick Mulcahy

(Well, you're not really him; you just resemble this fictional character. A bit.
Let's get that straight before you start administering the last rites or teaching nuns how to box.)

The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny. Lots of cool references in this one. Pretty funny, too. May not be suitable for work or school.

Did you know?

Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried. Ever.

Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.

Chuck Norris is currently suing NBC, claiming Law and Order are trademarked names for his left and right legs.

The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.

If you can see Chuck Norris, he can see you. If you can't see Chuck Norris, you may be only seconds away from death.

Chuck Norris has counted to infinity. Twice.

Chuck Norris does not hunt because the word hunting implies
the probability of failure. Chuck Norris goes killing.

Chuck Norris' blood type is AK+. Ass-Kicking Positive. It is compatible only with heavy construction equipment, tanks, and fighter jets.

Chuck Norris is 1/8th Cherokee. This has nothing to do with ancestry, the man ate a ••••••• Indian.

In fine print on the last page of the Guinness Book of World Records it notes that all world records are held by Chuck Norris, and those listed in the book are simply the closest anyone else has ever gotten.

There is no chin behind Chuck Norris' beard. There is only another fist.

You can find 9 pages of Chuck Norris "facts" at www.chucknorrisfacts.com

I'm not sure whether I should pity this guy, or admire his efforts...


By MikeC on Monday, April 17, 2006 - 6:48 am:

I'm sure this was posted before, but in case you missed it, please check out www.ymtnd.com. Lots of stuff, many of it dreck, many of it inappropriate, but a lot of it funny (the interface is oddball, hang with it).

Stuff to see:

*The original "You're the Man Now Dog!"
*The Picard Song
*Howard Dean Singing the OC Theme
*Various Do a Barrel Roll jokes
*Chunk Is Invincible

Can ANYONE explain this to me? How is it reading my mind? I figured that the recurrence of the symbols several times on the parchements that they show you (I say "parchments" in the plural because the symbols change), and perhaps some knowledge of human behavior and reactions may play into it, but that's not enough. I asked James Randi how it's done, and he said, "Take a careful look at it." Anyone? Anyone?


By Benn on Tuesday, March 27, 2007 - 10:57 am:

Explain what? Are you referring to another site? If so, which one, Luigi?


By LUIGI NOVI (Lnovi) on Tuesday, March 27, 2007 - 12:03 pm:

Oops. I meant this one.


By Benn on Tuesday, March 27, 2007 - 12:15 pm:

Was that a joke? The gopher was wrong with his guess of what number I was thinking of.


By Benn on Tuesday, March 27, 2007 - 12:17 pm:

Tried it again and he was wrong again. I even used the same number. I know a card trick where I can do way better than that.


By Josh M on Tuesday, March 27, 2007 - 8:20 pm:

If you look at the symbol chart, you'll see a certain symbol repeated throughout. These all correspond to a certain number and that number is the only possible result for any two digit number in a set of ten using this process. For example, 80-89

80->8+0->80-8=72
81->8+1->81-9=72
82->8+2->82-10=72
83->8+3->83-11=72
and so on.

On the sheet all of the multiples of nine should have the same symbol next to it.


By LUIGI NOVI (Lnovi) on Tuesday, March 27, 2007 - 10:57 pm:

So how does it work, then?


By Josh M on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 - 12:51 am:

The only possible solution for any number from 10-99 run through that process will equal 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, or 81. The symbol that shows up at the end will always be next to all of those numbers. Thus gopher "reads your mind".


By LUIGI NOVI (Lnovi) on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 - 10:10 am:

Thanks.


By Dustin Westfall (Dwestfall) on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 - 12:16 pm:

Here's the full math, if anyone cares:

Take any two digit number N, with digits A and B, so that:

N = 10*A + B

If you add the two digits and subtract the total from the original number, you get:

N - (A + B) = 10*A + B - (A + B)
= 10*A + B - A - B
= 9*A

Since A is a whole number, the final number is always a multiple of 9.


By LUIGI NOVI (Lnovi) on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 - 9:41 pm:

Um............................................well, yeah, obviously. I mean, I was just gonna say that myself.

Try reading this out loud to yourself. You'll eventually crack up.

FACEBOOK


By Benn (Benn) on Tuesday, February 03, 2009 - 8:44 am:

I'm on Facebook. I did have a MySpace account, but I rarely use it anymore. On Facebook, I've gotten in touch with some old classmates of mine I've not heard from in years. Which beats the hell of MySpace. (MS also tends to be more girlie and teenie bop to me anyway.)


By Benn (Benn) on Tuesday, February 03, 2009 - 10:06 pm:

Okay, John, you've been added to my Facebook friends lists. Welcome aboard!


By John A. Lang (Johnalang) on Wednesday, February 04, 2009 - 6:46 pm:

Thank you. I just invited Luigi to my list


By Benn (Benn) on Wednesday, February 04, 2009 - 9:52 pm:

Yeah, I've already added him, meself.


By Todd M. Pence (Tpence) on Saturday, February 07, 2009 - 2:54 pm:

I just made a Facebook page. I've finally joined the 21st century!


By John A. Lang (Johnalang) on Saturday, February 07, 2009 - 3:34 pm:

Send me an "invite friend"


By Jon Wade on Sunday, April 26, 2009 - 9:36 pm:

I'm on Facebook, too. If any of the old LICC gang is on there and wants to friend me...
