Scarebot

Grom’s mate Kevin Warwick has shot himself in the foot somewhat with his latest robot, as he’s made it a little too scary and the Unis ethics board have banned him from showing it to anyone under the age of 18.

I think it’d be fine with a nice hat and maybe a ‘tache

Rent-a-corpse

Some people will go to odd lengths to jump a queue for fuel. As always someone’s there to make a quick buck.

Shameless plug

Seeing as its a slow blog day for me, and the Blogmaster is away – and because the lovely djimm has just finished my band’s new website, I thought I would shamelessly plug milque.co.uk, the official website of Leeds’ *ahem* premier unsigned metal band. Huzzah!

Not our usual sort of item ;-)

But I’ve just found Late rooms. Perfect for that edge-of-excitement-over-exactly-what-your-hotel-will-be-like weekend away.

Macintosh killed my inner child

I used to think all Mac users were a content bunch of arty types, never complaining about Apples, the occasional remark about ease of use.

Unitll I saw this spoof Apple ad.

Now I see they’re just as frustrated by dumb OS issues as Windows users.

The office

OK, The Office is one of the best comedy series ever but it rally annoys me that when they only ever show the danceing clip – OK it was funny, but hardly the high point of the series. Having sadi that, this making of the office. David Brents famous dance. made me laugh. I shall now get off my soap box

Nessie – RIP?

Could this skeleton of a plesiosaur really be the remains of the legendary Loch Ness Monster? (Ah, the good ol’ BBC, thanks again for another interesting news story.)

Thailand cuts short the age of Ragnarok

No, this isn’t about Norse mythology, its about the Nanny State controlling people’s gaming habits. Aparrently gaming is so addictive that it has to be controlled by the Government! This is news to me… (Does that make me a cyber-drug manufacturer? I hope so, ’cause that makes my job sound really cool!)

Drugged man cuts off pen1s and eats it

The 34-year-old claimed he only realised what he had done when he saw blood oozing from his crotch, said a police spokesman.

Wow. Read that last sentence again – ‘The man claimed he only realised when he saw blood oozing’. Those were some drugs he was taking!

Blogtastic

Care for a text file containing every weblog URL the NITLE Blog Census has found to date?

You never know when it might be useful.

Well it might be

Someday

Slightly more useful (if a tad on the large size at 10GB uncompressed) is the database of the data on those sites.

New-Old Bailey

The Proceedings of the Old Bailey, is a searchable catalouge of proceedings that took place at the old bailey between 1674 and 1834.

100,000+ of them!

The searches are very configurable, so if you want to find out what the average punishment handed down by the beak to those who stood acused of “vagabonding” was, or how many people were sentanced to “Death: Hanging in Chains” in 1714 then it’s only a few clicks away

Pri.me.uk is on a go-slow

I’m travelling about quite a bit until next week and will be away from my computer so I doubt I’ll be able to update the site for about a week. In the meantime I’ll have to leave you guys in the capable hands of our contributing editors, Popcorn, Kaye & Al. If there aren’t many updates and you’re bored then play with other stuff on this page – look in the archives, search for random words or go to random links using the buttons in the right hand window.

Mooning Amtrak Trains

Last Saturday was the 25th Annual Mooning of Amtrak in California. Yep, that’s right it’s a ‘tradition’ to show yer butt to passing trains every year. We can’t do it in Britain – no-one could stand to bend over for the half hour in would take for a GNER or Virgin train to pass by.

I scored 8 put of 10 on the ‘Flesh or Food?’ quiz. Which is boringly average. (the score, not the quiz)

Caption Thing

It’s a page full of photos of people holding blank pieces of paper up which you can add a caption to. It’s more fun than it sounds. (NB: their server is getting hit quite hard at the moment so you may not be able to get through if it is – just try again later)

The Amazing Baconizer

The Amazing Baconizer is like an Amazon version of 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon (hence the name). You can use it to link any two items in the Amazon database. It’s fun even if you only use the randomiser bit.

Matrix Tabletennis

This movie from Japanese television is absolute sheer comedic genius. Watch as Japanese actors do an amazing choreographed scene without the aid of any special effects. (3Mb Windows Media file)

Superb.
