This last one makes me lose my damn mind, every time.

it's like "They live", but SHIT.

I often feel

The world isn't real

An illusion formed

To create disillusion

A simulation made

To foment frustration

What am I?

Man or God?

And thus I sigh

If I am a man

Then what is the plan?

If God I am

It must be

That I am a great big sham

"If I were fire, I’d burn up the world"

If I were fire, I’d burn up the world;
if I were storm, I’d raise a giant swell
and drown it all; if I were God I’d hurl
this rat’s-ass circus all the way to hell.

If I were pope, how happy I would be!
I’d cheat the Christians blind and suck their blood.
To serve as emperor I might agree,
so I could chop off everybody's head.

If I were death, I’d go to see my dad—
of course with mother I would do the same.
If I were life, I’d run from them like mad.

If I were Cecco, as I was and am,
I’d take the lovely and the lively dames
and leave for you the ugly and the sad.

Cecco Angiolieri, Late 13th Century

I've seen the version with John Hurt once. It was years ago, but I remember it left an impression on me. I remember it as powerful, heavy in the good sense of the word.

But the book really ripped my guts out. I must read the book again, and then see the movie.

The feeling I can't shake is the sheer familiarity of that typeface. I'll be damned if it doesn't look exactly like my grampa's old Olivetti Lettera 22.

That scribbled plate, whatever it is, is an old friend, someone spotted him on the forum some time ago.

I was looking for diagrams of how an optical printer works, but so far I haven't found any.

I wonder if there was any place where a little sheet of acetate might have fallen, and it wasn't spotted because the writing was done with a weak marker. But it showed up in the picture because it shone trough the helmet's white.

It's obviously a different layer to the laser bolts, because it just stays there, stationary.

JEDIT: My mind was almost working there, it was Harmy that first spotted the marker scribbles:

My room smells like farts and my back hurts.

Well that's a very broad category isn't it? I fall into it, most of the time.

If this forum didn't have trolls and/or noobs, Frink would have no one to ridicule. ;P

I see where you're coming from. As I said, I provided those links because I think they're interesting.

I currently don't have a place to store my browser's bookmarks (running a Lubuntu Live CD), so I'll leave these here, as they're potentially interesting reads for someone out there.

I'm surprised no one has posted this one yet.

I know, too obvious.

I have improved the thread title, it was too long.

If for some reason you haven't checked out Swede Mason already, his "Put dat cookie daun" remix is a MUST.

Come on, don't tease! If you actually mean 24 hours a day, you've just given me a reason to move up there.

It's not just Clarkson. I loath all 3 of them with a passion I can barely express.

 Fancy that. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I would gladly pay a (small) fee to have a tv channel broadcasting Top Gear 24/7. Simply can't get enough of the bastards. :)
