YEEEEAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHH
Metachat Fun Fact Of The Day: St. Pierre and Miquelon, two small islands off the coast of Newfoundland, were originally named the "Eleven Thousand Virgins" by Portuguese explorer João Álvares Fagundes in 1521. Island tourism would probably be more extensive if the original name were restored.
The Onion returns to cultural relevance... temporarily, at least. They've been off their game for a few years.
This is an "Amuse Killdevil" thread -- wherein I do implore you to entertain me.
"A laser sounds boring until you hear it work." "Digital audio is awesome!" Learn more about an astonishing new innovation, the Compact Digital Audio Disc Player. Available now from SearsTM for only $589.99.
I like the cut of your jib.
Post your Social Security Number here.
This is a movie pitch thread. You're in the elevator with a famous producer of mass-market blockbusters that usually feature lots of gratuitous explosions. Begin speaking.
This is my hello thread. Hi!
I don't like all-nighters. No sir.
Whatcha doing tonight, mecha?
And if you go chasing rabbits / And you know you're going to fall...
I have a gift for you. I'll just leave it at your front door.
Do you know your blood type? Do you believe it describes you accurately?
Waiting for letters sucks. Yeah, so I'm practically stalking the postal worker who drops off the mail. I'm supposed to hear any day now whether I have been accepted into my first choice program. How can I chill the hell out about it?
GET A BRAIN! MORANS
If Microsoft designed the iPod box... A self-deprecatory spoof video commissioned by the product packaging overlords at Microsoft -- leaked onto the internets for your viewing pleasure.
It's my birthday. I'm 29 today. Nearly three decades of life and I'm not sure if I've accomplished anything of lasting worth in my 20s. Well, I have one more year before I hit 30 to do something about that, I guess.
TRACKSUITS made from FERROUS METALS may cause CHAFING.
Logo hypertrophy [askmecha] Why is it that every company I design a Web site for wants its logo to occupy half of the page?

This is one of the most common things I run into as a designer. How can I convince the latest company that it's not a good idea to splatter their (unattractive) corporate logo across the entire top of the page?
Who here likes pancakes?
This is an ad hominem attack thread.
This is an incoherent thread.
My computer caught on fire this morning.
User pages are all 404s. Which makes me sad. [Bug report]
Meat whistle. To the untrained eye, it may look like any ordinary, run-of-the-mill, hot dog-shaped whistle. But, it's not just any whistle...
Can you finish this nice challenging game? Try not to touch the walls with your cursor. Good luck!
Zeldman holds forth on Web 2.0. A very interesting and well-considered take on tags, AJAX, RSS and other latter-day Web buzzwords.
The document contains no data. I was already nostalgic for 2005, so this is opportune.
Where can I find a good "time and materials" Web development contract template? The only thing turned up by my google searches are sketchy "contract mill" sites that want $75 for documents of questionable value.

I've used up my AxMe question for the week, so I'm posting this here (of course, if any generous Mecha user wants to repost it on AskMe, I'd be eternally grateful...)
If no one is around and dinner was tasty, do you lick the plate?
So how do I stop being a nihilist? I'm genuinely curious.
Dodge a bullet. [flash, may load slowly.]
Name the 75 bands in this picture. I'm hopeless at this kind of thing. Metachat, help me!
Spin the string. Fun with Flash -- reminds of a 3D spirograph.
Time-lapse painting. [Quicktime, via Boingboing]
Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar I usually develop against Firefox with the Web Developer toolbar installed, and this seems to be a close analog for IE. Pretty slick.
Guess that launch code! From 1960 until 1977, all U.S. Minuteman nuclear long-range ballistic missiles shared the same 8-digit launch combination: '00000000.'
The Email Time Capsule. Send a harangue or words of positive affirmation to your future self, via email. Wierdly enough, a free service provided by your jowly capitalist friends at Forbes.

TRON. For your amusement, a networked 3D Tron lightcycle game. Completely free, multi-platform, and highly addictive. Live the greatest movie EVAR!
Most significant world events you remember.
Teleology according to Guinness. An advertising approach you won't see in the States. Sigh. [Quicktime.]
Fun With Jalapenos. So I sneezed while eating a veggie burrito filled with lots of jalapenos. A determined squadron of peppers somehow went right up my nose. I'd imagine getting a shot of pepper spray to the face feels similar.

Having just spent ten minutes flailing, thrashing and nose-blowing, I'm curious what similar food experiences you've had...?
Waxhoff. And there was a great earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became as blood.
Fun with Google Translation This is the thread, in which we speak only in the sentences, which run repeated times many by Google translation are left. Hardest to understand the best one.
OK, this rain needs to stop.
It's Friday night. It's the end of the week. In what celebratory activities will you partake?
Color photographs from World War I. [Takes a little while to load.] In color, the people and the places seem so much less remote from our own experience.

These also remind me of this great exhibition of early Russian color photos at the Library of Congress.
Where should we invade next? Americans share their views. What do we have against Australia all of a sudden?
Salon.com redesigns It's long overdue, and very pretty -- but wow if it isn't slower than Metafilter on Thorazine, at least for the moment.
Common knowledge. What's a thing you didn't know that everybody knows -- and your lack of common knowledge was revealed to the world in a painfully embarrassing fashion?
The document contains no data [And suddenly, many hundreds of people, their dark reverie interrupted, recollect that the sun is shining outside and throw open the blinds...]
Evil cats. Ok, talk to you later.
I am bored. In this thread, good people of Metachat, I do humbly importune you to entertain me. I know that you are equal to the challenge.
Reminder: Share The 9622v2 Love There having been a worrying downturn in new contributions to 9622v2, I enjoin, entreat and implore all and sundry to participate in this history-making endeavor.
