Oh yes, just watched it last night! It was fantastic!

It was awesome what they've accomplished, and they didn't even want to make any money with it. But I just wonder how long it took them to render the film with only four ordinary PCs?

Fair play :D
Bicycling is a very nice hobby. I was in a bicycling team for a few weeks, but noticed it didn't have the lovely feeling of freedom that makes cycling such a lovely hobby for me. And so, now, if I compete with anyone, that's mostly myself. I like racing with random bicyclers who pass me on the roads, but that's pretty much it all. I do it only when I've got the feeling for it, not when some competition happens to be held :)

I made a little EBT-Quiz about myself. Don't search for the answers on the website of the forum, but just think or quess. Then we can see who knows me the best!!! Good luck.

(Sorry for the pop-ups.)

The page doesn't work, because it's got some stupidly made popup that refuses to move or disappear.

I was sleepy and didn't read some of the questions correctly

. Otherwise, my score would be better.

I tried but I can't see how I'm supposed to choose the person I'm asking the questions about!

Maybe because my computer blocks pop-ups?

I know this is an old story, but they are out there again!

Search google for "failure" and use the "I am feeling lucky button".

How true

Cool map you've got there. Australia is a in a weird place. Somehow I easily think both Australia and America are "on the other side of the world" and then I notice they are on the other sides of the world also for each other. Scary multidimensional stuff! :)

I'm pretty sure this bus is servicing as a replacement for the trams on line 13 in Amsterdam because of some roadwork. It is quite clear if you look at the destination info signs in the front of the bus and in the front of the tram:

How on Earth were the British people able to stay alive while conquering Mt. Everest if they couldn't eat any breakfast?

This is the Hello World Program written in the programming language Shakespeare.

Code: Select all

The Infamous Hello World Program.

Romeo, a young man with a remarkable patience.
Juliet, a likewise young woman of remarkable grace.
Ophelia, a remarkable woman much in dispute with Hamlet.
Hamlet, the flatterer of Andersen Insulting A/S.


                    Act I: Hamlet's insults and flattery.

                    Scene I: The insulting of Romeo.

[Enter Hamlet and Romeo]

Hamlet:
 You lying stupid fatherless big smelly half-witted coward!
 You are as stupid as the difference between a handsome rich brave
 hero and thyself! Speak your mind!

 You are as brave as the sum of your fat little stuffed misused dusty
 old rotten codpiece and a beautiful fair warm peaceful sunny summer's
 day. You are as healthy as the difference between the sum of the
 sweetest reddest rose and my father and yourself! Speak your mind!

 You are as cowardly as the sum of yourself and the difference
 between a big mighty proud kingdom and a horse. Speak your mind.

 Speak your mind!

[Exit Romeo]

                    Scene II: The praising of Juliet.

[Enter Juliet]

Hamlet:
 Thou art as sweet as the sum of the sum of Romeo and his horse and his
 black cat! Speak thy mind!

[Exit Juliet]

                    Scene III: The praising of Ophelia.

[Enter Ophelia]

Hamlet:
 Thou art as lovely as the product of a large rural town and my amazing
 bottomless embroidered purse. Speak thy mind!

 Thou art as loving as the product of the bluest clearest sweetest sky
 and the sum of a squirrel and a white horse. Thou art as beautiful as
 the difference between Juliet and thyself. Speak thy mind!

[Exeunt Ophelia and Hamlet]


                    Act II: Behind Hamlet's back.

                    Scene I: Romeo and Juliet's conversation.

[Enter Romeo and Juliet]

Romeo:
 Speak your mind. You are as worried as the sum of yourself and the
 difference between my small smooth hamster and my nose. Speak your
 mind!

Juliet:
 Speak YOUR mind! You are as bad as Hamlet! You are as small as the
 difference between the square of the difference between my little pony
 and your big hairy hound and the cube of your sorry little
 codpiece. Speak your mind!

[Exit Romeo]

                    Scene II: Juliet and Ophelia's conversation.

[Enter Ophelia]

Juliet:
 Thou art as good as the quotient between Romeo and the sum of a small
 furry animal and a leech. Speak your mind!

Ophelia:
 Thou art as disgusting as the quotient between Romeo and twice the
 difference between a mistletoe and an oozing infected blister! Speak
 your mind!

[Exeunt]
