Amazing Waterfall Theatrics

Check out this video. It is an amazing waterfall creation that shoots water droplets and is designed to make various letters and images. I just hope they are reusing the water over and over for the nice effects. Simply beautiful, definitely worth checking out !

Whether it’s the dramatic countdown, the striking thunderbolts, or the whimsical dolphins, you won’t be disappointed. This method was innovated by Julius Popp in his machine: “Bitfall,” which just as precisely created words that flashed by in the blink of an eye. This would surely make him proud…

Funny Computer Virus Names

AT&T VIRUS - Every three minutes it tells you what great service you are getting.

Bureaucrat VIRUS - Divides your hard disk into hundreds of little units, each of which does practically nothing, but all of which claim to be the most important part of your computer.

French VIRUS - garbles some files and then displays a message asking you for help. If you click OK, it just garbles more files and asks for help again. If you click Cancel, it displays the message, “I surrender!” and shuts down your computer. If you click Ignore, it scans your computer for the German and Russian VIRUSes.

The Naked News reviews the stoner comedy, Pineapple Express by nakednews — Revver Online Video Sharing Network

Warning - the video at the link is produced by Naked News, so you know it will be interesting if nothing else and will likely contain nudity or something like it. If you are offended by such things, you don’t have to follow the link below it’s up to you.

I recently had the chance to go to the movies with my wife. This is not something that I get to do very often. With 2 young children it can be hard to get a few moments for just the two of us.

Luckly my mom was up to visit the past few weeks. So we took the time to go out to see a movie. We choose “The Pineapple Express”.

It is in the “Stoner” genre of movies, which basically means all of the characters spend most (or all of the movie) high as a kite. (At time I think the actors actually were high)

It was a very funny movie though, and definitly worth it. From beginning to end, the characters get themselves into all kinds of crazy messed up situations.

And believe it or not, if you watch it, and all the crazy things that happen, I definitly think it would turn you away from marajuana.

Anyway, the video does a better review then I can, so enjoy it!

Oh and before i forget, special thanks to My Mom for watching the kids for us - You’re the greatest!

Now I just know you want to follow the link and watch the video right? Don’t say I didn’t warn you, may not be safe for work :-)
