Ok, so I know we aren’t very active on this blog. It is very likely that nobody even reads it anymore. It’s not like people read it in the first place.
I just had to post this up somewhere. I don’t know if this was an actual clip of a British talk show, but you need to listen to it.
My favorite part of this interview:
Guy: Well some of them aren’t built so that the front doesn’t fall off at all.
Interviewer: Well wasn’t this one built so that the front wouldnt fall off?
G: Well obviously not.
I: How do you know?
G: Well cause the front fell off……
This just goes to show that the best comedy is unintentional comedy.
When you view the above link, be sure to realize the full genius of this. What I REALLY want to know (and comment on) is this: Why must one be fourteen years of age in order to receive or purchase Nothing?! Are there small parts involved that a 12 year old might find dangerous?
If this catches on, it could very well go the way of the pet rock. Wish I had gotten to this one first.
Physical Media: World’s Largest Record Collection is Worth $50 Million; No One Wants it for $3 Million
Paul Mawhinney ownes a record collection of 3 MILLION albums and 600,000 CDs. This collection has been appraised at $50 million in value. He is offering it for sale on his website for a mere $3 million and he is having trouble selling it. It is unbelievable that such a collection were not wanted by a bevy of persons wishing to preserve such an awesome collection. If I had the means, I would surely jump at this opportunity. As Gizmodo says:
In a time when you can access pretty much whatever music you want online, hard copies of albums are declining in value, both monetary and sentimentally. But to see such a mindblowing collection as this sitting in a basement, unwanted, is really heartbreaking. This is historic, no matter that we live in the iPod era or not, and it belongs in a museum.
This definitely belongs in a museum! I beg of everyone to spread the word on this. If the interest is out there, the people could even come together to donate this to a worthy institution that would not only be ecstatic to receive such a collection and have the resources to preserve it as well. Candidates would include music hall of fames or universities where music or arts are a prime concern.
This is perhaps the most interesting material I’ve seen in a while. I want to get/make some and see if it is hard when under a magnetic field. I wonder what applications this would have? Besides the human killing machine of death, of course.
While still formulating my post for my previous comment, I stumbled across this article from our pals over at Slashdot. Apparently,“FORMER NASA astronaut and moon-walker Dr Edgar Mitchell – a veteran of the Apollo 14 mission – has stunningly claimed aliens exist.”
I happen to have been privileged enough to be in on the fact that we’ve been visited on this planet and the UFO phenomena is real… – Dr. Mitchell
I think it’s funny. Personally, I know nothing about Dr. Mitchell so as to have any notion of his credibility. It doesn’t really mean anything to me if he was around people “in the know.”
