A short while ago, I made sure that y’all weren’t bored by providing you with a link to a website of unprecedented fantastic-ness. I know that I gave you a lot to take in by making you aware of the Dyson Airblade’s official website, but I’m afraid I’ve found something better.
Spam! Take a short trip to the official SPAM website and witness unimaginable awesomeness. For all things related to ambigious pink “food” / putty which comes from a tin, visit the site!
It won’t help. It’s a link to the official website for the Dyson Airblade Handdryer – the ‘only hand dryer that literally scrapes water from your hands’. Fascinating stuff. I’m riveted, I really am.
Evening to all you bloggites. All two of you.
My housemate Becky gets New Scientist magazine. It arrives weekly to our house, and then resides on the table in the living room. Except from the fact that they relentlessly dismiss religion as ’superstition’, it is a pretty good publication. Quite fun to read. Even, or perhaps especially, for non-scientists.
Now, I have a little question for you all. New Scientist recently ran a multi-page article about one particular thing which can be found on our beautiful planet. It was accompanied by a massive picture of the said thing, and a caption. I have omitted the end of the caption, and humbly request your help in completing it. The caption reads:
“Confusing shrimp, wooing females, and scaring off predators. It’s all in a day’s work for ……………”
There you go. Ponder away. An undecided prize to be offered to both the person who gets the actual answer, and the person who comes up with the funniest answer. Leave said answers in the remarks field below. Lou down in Reading (yes you) ought to know that the answer comes from the realm of biology. Does this sound like a creature you could identify? Lucy, Mum, other unfortunate bloggites, I’m expecting funny comments to bring me out of dissertation-related duldrums.
Go!
…than looking at this page? If you feel that you should, but this doesn’t extend towards (a) doing your job, (b) completing your studies, (c) engaging in philanthropic work, or (d) anything else that you are contractually obliged or ought to be doing, then may I recommend The Big Think.
This is a rather curious site, and one can only suppose it will become somewhat successful too. Basically, famous contributors offer their considered opinions on certain subjects in the form of short videos. Not only does this provide for interesting viewing, but it can be inspiring too. You’re unlikely to leave the site with your thoughts remaining unprovoked having watched a few videos on topics that tickle your pickle. A friend of mine told me about this site, and I’m distinctly impressed. Pass it on.
