Ahahaha! Brilliant summary of the Twilight movies, and now I can save the time to watch them :o)

If 'Twilight' Was 10 Times Shorter And 100 Times More Honest

If 'New Moon' Was 10 Times Shorter and 100 Times More Honest

If 'Eclipse' Was 10 Times Shorter And 100 Times More Honest

If Twilight 4 Was 10 Times Shorter and 100 Times More Honest

Cool, if you google for the number 241543903, you'll get pictures of people putting their head in a fridge...

:o))



Is it bad that I'm a woman and still think this is funny?

Sudoku and many other sorts of logic puzzles like the ones at Conceptis rate highly among my favorite pastimes, but sometimes something different is a nice change.

Fantastic Contraption provides such a change. The goal is to move the red piece into the goal area. You have wheels and rods and you'll have to create a contraption that accomplishes this task. Very simple concept, but very entertaining play! And the higher levels get more demanding on your creativity, so it's far from boring.
And once you've mastered all the levels, you can try to find different solutions, e.g. without using wheels, with parking the red piece in the goal area instead of just moving through or with tossing instead of driving etc.

My manager sent around the following text a few days ago:



What makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wondered about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If:

A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J	K	L	M	N	O	P	Q	R	S	T	U	V	W	X	Y	Z
is represented as:
1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18	19	20	21	22	23	24	25	26

Then:

H	-	A	-	R	-	D	-	W	-	O	-	R	-	K
8	+	1	+	18	+	4	+	23	+	15	+	18	+	11	= 98%

and

K	-	N	-	O	-	W	-	L	-	E	-	D	-	G	-	E
11	+	14	+	15	+	23	+	12	+	5	+	4	+	7	+	5	= 96%

But,

A	-	T	-	T	-	I	-	T	-	U	-	D	-	E
1	+	20	+	20	+	9	+	20	+	21	+	4	+	5	= 100%

and

B	-	U	-	L	-	L	-	S	-	H	-	I	-	T
2	+	21	+	12	+	12	+	19	+	8	+	9	+	20	= 103%

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you:

A	-	S	-	S	-	K	-	I	-	S	-	S	-	I	-	N	-	G
1	+	19	+	19	+	11	+	9	+	19	+	19	+	9	+	14	+	7	= 127%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty, that while Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the Bullshit and Asskissing that will put you over the top.

If you want something done right, do it yourself - or you might get results like these:

If you liked Lemmings, you'll probably like Scribble as well. Cute little beings called Blots walk around, not caring if the way is safe or not. You can (and have to) draw bridges and walls to get the blots safely to the exit of each level. A nice puzzle game, I had quite some fun with it :o)

Found a really awesome game - Chronotron.
A little robot travels in a little Tardis. The goal of each level is to retrieve the time travel circuit so it can go on. But there're a few obstacles to overcome to get it. Since the robot can't handle everything alone it needs help from its past selfs, so it has to go back in time several times to solve a level. Really cute and nifty!

Three things you shouldn't say to your manager when asking him for a salary increase:

3. "If I get a salary rise, I don't have seen anything at the last company's Christmas party."
2. "One more misinvestment wouldn't make a difference for this company..."
1. "I have an affair with your wife, and you know very well how expensive her taste is."

The Tour de Farce is over and really doesn't need any more commenting, but today I heard another funny name for it: Spritztour
It's an amusing wordplay, because the word Spritztour means a trip or spin, but the verb spritzen means injecting something, e.g. with a syringe, so a Spritztour could literally mean a tour on which one does injections all the time...
