Say What?

The Speech Bubble Experiment; I thought that this was a pretty interesting idea, print out speech bubble stickers slap them on ads/posters or whatever around town and leave them for passers by to fill in, then go back later and photograph the results.

There's even a spot on the site to print your own bubbles to stick around your neighbourhood, you subversive little scallywags. If anyone does give this a go, I'd like to see the results.

Since we're on the topic of speech, how about checking out the online accent archive? This site has 100's of different accents archived for you to listen to. They've had people from all over the world read out the same phrase/speech and then put the clips on line. You can select the accent you want to hear from a map of the world. I thought it was interesting anyway. Now you don't have to wonder any longer how someone from Iceland would say "Six Spoons of Snow Peas" among other things.

Now this is what I call a political ad. I'm assuming that after seeing this you're not supposed to want to vote this guy, but damn if it didn't make me want to vote for the guy, because like the one cat in the commercial said, who hasn't taken money from porn directors. I wonder if it's too late to make one of these for Adam?

This link seems a little busticated at the moment but on November 8 Mercury is supposed to be visible passing in front of the sun and according to this map it looks like it will be visible at sunset for most of North America.

Now you know things are getting too PC out there when British Airlines is being sued for religious discrimination by a former employee who was fired for refusing to remove a piece of religious jewelry while other coworkers got to wear their's. Care to guess this ex-employee's controversial religion of choice? Christianity. Read more about it here. It's fairly well established fact that I'm not a religious man, although I am an ordained minister in the Universal Life Church, I figure if you're going to make a rule like that then apply it equally and universally, if no one can sport religious jewelry then no one can, if one can then all can. It's only fair right?

And finally a little more Borat for you - he was left in charge of the Sun's bizzare page for a day, Wawaweewa! Check it out.

Well that's all for now, later
