Sometimes, you come across a website, which is perfectly safe for work (hint hint), but cannot be described as anything other than, well, weird! Both these are 'recommendations' rather than links I've found all by myself, but still worth sharing IMO...

We Like the Moon (http://www.rathergood.com/moon_song/)
NB - you might want to turn the sound down a tad first...

And specially for ducasi (although it's quite a well-known one)

Some people have too much time on their hands... unfortunately, I'm not one of them, but it's Friday :clap:

Silly and strange links please...

Anybody for badgers (http://www.badgerbadgerbadger.com/)? Or maybe some bubble wrap (http://www.fun.from.hell.pl/2003-11-24/bubblewrap.swf)?

Or perhaps Magical Trevor (http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/magical+trevor/) is more to your taste? If so, here he is again (http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/magical+trevor+2/).

Even weirder is this (http://www.izpitera.ru/lj/tetka.swf) site.

Or for those who liked the Yoda singing thread, try going here (http://www.withlouis.com/film/yoda/) to see the master himself in action!

I have no idea. It won't work for me. Keep getting a message that it won't work with my browser (Internet Explorer - pretty much standard!). :tears:

Seems like a nice place to put this

--------------------------------------------




In 1994 at the annual awards dinner given for Forensic Science,AAFS.
The President Dr Don Harter Mills astounded his audience with legal complications of a bizarre death.

On March 23, 1994 a medical officer examined the body of Ronald Opus.
He concluded that Mr Opus had died as a result of a shotgun wound to the head.
Mr Opus had jumped from the top of a ten strory building intending to commit suicide. He had left a note to the effect indicating his despondency.
As he fell past the ninth floor his life was interrupted by a shotgun blast passing through a window, which killed him instantly.
Neither the shooter nor the the deceased was aware that a safety net had been installed just below the eighth floor level to protect some building workers and that Ronald Opus would not have been able to complete his suicide the way he had planned.
Orinarily a person who sets out to commit suicide and ultimately succeeds, even though the mechanism might not be what he intended, is still defined as committing suicide.
The fact that Mr Opus was shot on the way to certain death, but probably would not have been successful because of the safety net, caused the medical examiner to feel that he had a homicide on his hands.
In the room on the ninth floor, where the shotgun blast eminated, was occupied by an elderly couple.
They were arguing vigorously and the husband was threatening the wife with a shotgun. The husband was so upset that when he pulled the trigger he missed his wife and the pellets went through the window striking Mr Opus in the head, on his way down.
When one intends to kill a subject “A” but kills subject “B’ by mistake one is guilty of murder of subject “B”
When confronted with the charge of murder the old man and his wife were adamant and both said that they thought the gun was unloaded.
The old man explained that it was a long-standing habit to threaten his wife with an un-loaded shotgun during the course of their arguments. He had no intention to murder her.
Therefore the killing of Mr Opus appeared to be an unfortunate accident; that is, if the gun had been accidently loaded.
The continuing investigation turned up a witness who saw the old couple’s son loading the shotgun about six weeks prior to the argument and fatal shooting.
It transpired that the old lady had cut off her son’s financial support and the son, knowing the ponpensity of his father to use the shotgun threateningly, loaded the gun with the expectation that his Father would shoot his Mother.
Since the loader of the gun, was aware of this, he was guilty of murder even though he didn’t actually pull the trigger.
The case now becomes one of murder on the part of the son for the death of Ronald Opus.
Now comes the exquisit twist.
Further investigations revealed that the son was in fact, Ronald Opus.
He had become increasingly despondent over the failure of his attempt to engineer his Mother’s murder on March 23rd 1994 he went to the the top of the ten story building and jumped off, only to be killed by a shotgun blast through the ninth story window.
The son had actually murdered himself.

A True Story.

It was in Magnolia as well wasn't it? I hated that film but loved the beginning stories about coincidence (which is the basis of the film).

Well, after DJ has rudely dragged the Jango thread back on-topic, I thought I'd better not post this there.

But Kev F, you really need to know about this site... Barbie and Ken will be better dancers if they have more partners in freestyle.

Take the time to do this it's freaky::eek:

1) New York City has 11 letters

2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.

3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin
Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.

4) George W Bush has 11 letters.

This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more interesting:

1) New York is the 11th state.

2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number
11.

3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11

4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers.
6+5 = 11

5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1 =
11

6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number
911. 9 + 1 + 1 = 11.

Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own mind:

1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was
254. 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.

2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year. Again 2 + 5 + 4
= 11.

3) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.

4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers
incident.

Now this is where things get totally eerie:

The most recognised symbol for the US, after the Stars & Stripes, is
the Eagle. The following verse is taken from the Quran, the Islamic
holy book:

"For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle.
The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo,
while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for
the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was
peace."

That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.

uncovinced about all of this Still ..?! Try this and see how you feel
afterwards, it made my hair stand on end:

Open Microsoft Word and do the following:

1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first
plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.

2. Highlight the Q33 NY.

3. Change the font size to 48.

4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS

What do you think now?!!

~stuff~There is a detailed debunking of this in Snopes (http://www.snopes.com/rumors/coincidence.asp) and linked pages. Amongst the falsehoods:


Neither Iraq nor Iran has 119 as its telephone country code; American Airlines Flight 77 carried 64 people, not 65

The Madrid bombing took place 912 days after the 9/11 attacks.

Regarding the purported Quran verse about the awakening of a fearsome eagle, our piece on that subject explains there is no such entry in that holy book, let alone one occuring in Chapter 9, Verse 11.

Q33NY was not the flight or tail number of either of the planes that were crashed into the World Trade Center that day.
