one of many robot chat programs - i just found the irony of talking to god rather amusing. But aside from the whole religious thing they decided to program into it, it is interesting to see how the program works.

And this one will blow you away:
Count every " F " in the following text:
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...
HOW MANY ?
Kim Hawkins
Kim Hawkins Eastern Sierra Gallery
WRONG, THERE ARE 6 -- no joke .
READ IT AGAIN !
Really, go Back and Try to find the 6 F's before you scroll down.
The reasoning behind is further down.
The brain cannot process "OF".
Incredible or what? Go back and look again!!
Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius.
Three is normal, four is quite rare.

hehe - ditto ;)
its similar to this one:
The city of Paris is
is a very romantic
place and a
a great place
to propose.
djegerrit? (do you get it)
also this one is cool:
"ghoti" - that is "fish" spelt using phonetic rules of english.
gh = "f" in 'enough'
o = "i" in 'women'
ti = "sh" in 'nation'

Ok - so i saw the second link and was reminded of the first so went to find it to watch it again. Watch them in either order. The first is an absolutely amazing gravity defying breakdancer (just check out the push ups he does at the end) and the second is a 2 year old (still in his nappies) obviously practicing after watching mom or dad do it on their dance floor, i think he will develop into something like the first guy ;)

From ultra wide angle to super super macro. Lots of geeky fun articles on this site. Just read about how black diamonds are actually from space, formed in supernovae explosions. http://www.physorg.com/news87577799.html Or how scientists can now encode data onto a single photon of light. http://www.physorg.com/news88439430.html Is anyone still reading this thread?Kort Kramer - Kramer Kreations
.... well, here's something you can try that I got in an email......
... it's very simple ... you are just supposed to move a red square around with your mouse and try not to get hit by the blue squares or to touch the perimeter.
It says you are brilliant if you can last 18 seconds. I found myself yelling at the monitor... now that was more than (&^%$) 4.895 seconds... I demand a recount!!
what's your best time?
