There is a great article on The A. V. Club about the Colbert Report. If you don’t know about the Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert plays a right-wing nut-case talk show host. The show is almost believable, given that many of those guys already seem like parodies of themselves, but the truthiness of the show occasionally comes through.
One of the things that caught my eye in the article is that Colbert was apparently a pretty avid D&D player in high school.
Nikolay Valuev (the big one), a boxer from Russia, won the heavyweight championship. Coming in at seven feet tall and 323 pounds, he is both the tallest and the heaviest champion in history.
This picture is not photoshopped. The guy really is that big.
“Proceeds from the sale of this media may be used to fund a private militia of off-duty police officers who march through major municipal areas, wearing FBI-type jackets marked “MPAORIAA”, and use strong-arm tactics on American citizens.”
Frankly, the actual warnings look like parodies of themselves to me. Our copyright policy is nuts!
Gary Reighn has set up a home theater that looks like the bridge of the Star Trek Enterprise.
This is a little too geeky even for me to do, but it sure looks cool! Inasmuch as the word ‘cool’ can apply to ‘things having to do with Star Trek’.
It’s a kill-or-be-killed Nazi dodging, duck hunting, extravaganza!
*This* is obviously the reason Flash was invented – so we can play the game in which Duck Hunt! (the game) meets 1945 (the game). If you thought shooting Nazis was fun, or you thought shooting ducks was fun, or even if you didn’t, this game is for you.
This just dumbfounded me, although I guess it shouldn’t. If you want a miniature of your Warcraft character, just nab the 3D model with OGLE and print out out with your handy-dandy 3D printer.
Of course, OGLE is a generic tool for grabbing 3D models from any program that can use OpenGL to display the models. Which is most of them. OGLE is also free, and Free.
So, build stuff in auto-cad, print it out at home, in 3D. The future is now.
Why isn’t Kinko’s offering this service yet?
There are tons more listed on this free music guide.
You can also try iRATE radio, a free Java application that tries to download (free) music you like based on how you rate the songs.
There is lots more out there. Google has the answer.
I don’t know much more than you do about this. This site shows a kid, about three years old, lighting up a cig.
His parents should be drawn and quartered.
If anyone can read the site and give a translation, I’m very interested.
You can check out the Altavista Babelfish translation. Just cut-n-paste the URL http://www.6park.com/life2/messages/4562.html and select Chinese-simp to English.
Memomo is a foreign language flashcard site, well implemented and with a nice understated html style, that you can use for free! You don’t even have to give them any information about yourself – the signup is just a username and password.
I plan on using it to brush up on my German & Spanish, and learn some Italian…
