Cool stuff you've found on the web

Spider Man 3 teaser -- this was so feaking cool that I watched it three times in a row and nearly peed my pants with excitement. As a 33 year old man that's the only time you will hear me admit such a thing in public.

This has got me all hot and bothered -- which can't be said for X3 which I couldn't be arsed to go and see.

X-Men 3 was okay, but had some really stupid moments and glaringly obvious mistakes.

Let's just say the sun sets REALLY REALLY fast in America.

Spideyman 3? Ooh... sounds intriguing!

17 so far but can't think of how to word an eighteenth better/differently.... 1000 Y in a M ...

Edit: Still not wording 32 right...24 right, and some of those are american or just scary associations - especially no 12! Too tired to think clearly enough right now : )

Edit: Ok, 27, but I really give up.. tired and some of the associations are really scary

Edit: Ok, 28, but that's really it, i need sleep...I just suddenly had the thing for 33 in my head (Possibly a link to P O T C hehe)

Well I solved most of 'em by myself...I can't believe I didn't twig the last one, considering my most recent obsession (DAMN DAMN HAVE TO WAIT A YEAR NOW ARRRRRGH)...but I did kinda umm...look up some of the answers. Anyway I just counted through the ones I know I got by myself (number 30 a complete and total guess from some weird depth of my brain) and I got 22.

1000 Years in a Millenium.

Those puzzles are fun, but not when they're specific to one single culture, then you can never guess them.

Post by **Ameena** » Sun Jul 09, 2006 3:23 am

Aye...I love those kind of puzzles but if the questions are only guessable if you're, say, American, it's not so fun

I've got 21 so far, it would be 22 but I can't spell farenheight...

And 3 seperate bible questions (at least)? Cultural bias is an understatement!

How about:

7 S in the P
3 S in O B
9 P in the S S
4 C in D M

'fahrenheit' and neither could I to start with. 'Millennium' I got when I realised word doens't spell check capital lettered words...great. To be fair who puts a second n there,. I ask you!

I got 31 before giving up (I had one last brain wave and a friend started doing it so I HAD to stay up hearing his cries), but a friend had to give a hint about a book he read recently to realise what P of C were in the HB

Bible questions aren't really cultural, but it does reflect american culture.

There are like four there, but was so tired made poor passes throug hthe rest without trying getting 12/6/8 or soemthing...need to reload them now after a comp crash!

8.. well that one you should get since it was something invented by your ancestors, fuzzball.

what has 18 somethings and was invented by scottsmen?

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Sun Jul 09, 2006 11:25 am

i meant first pass scores on the other tests last night, i got 18 since scotland is full of the damn things! : )

In the first test i'm staring at no 26 and no 31 and feeling at the very least 26 shopuld be very gettable! No joy this morning with them, and don't want to move on wihtout giving them a decent shot!

OMG I just got 31 while talking about sport which brings me to a score of 32! One more...and it's looking so gettable...like i just have to think about it right...

And lol, how the hell is an american supposed to get no 31 anyway? So much for this test being american cultural!

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Sun Jul 09, 2006 11:53 am

OK, moved on to http://intelligence-test.net/part2/ , got 15 so far, trying to do them in order (though got no 16 in a first pass). Funnily, no 15 is what I just noticed zokathra put above - don't tell me!

I assume 4 c in DM is 4 charatcers in DM btw :)

Post by **Ameena** » Sun Jul 09, 2006 5:07 pm

Ooh yay another one

. Only got four of 'em so far (not in order) but someone's watching telly in the same room and I can't really concentrate properly...still, I'll keep at it

.

Edit - Oooh that's rather evil...at least one of them (if there's more I haven't got 'em yet) that uses an American spelling, rather than English

.
Well, I'm now up to 10 correct...

Edit again - Got bored, Googled, and found that apart from one or two, there was no way I was gonna get most of the rest - they seemed rather obscure or related to things I'd never have thought of guessing.
Oh well, even though I see no link to it, I changed the web address in the bar at the top to read "part3" and here I go...

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Sun Jul 09, 2006 6:34 pm

HAH! 33/33! If only I were doing better with the others... I think I will go back to watching west wing...

*Cough* -- doesn't really belong in "cool stuff" but is so unbelievably bad, despite being ironic, I just had to post this:

I know the link says funny commercials.. but it's not.. I have no idea why it was in my search.. but this is serieously freaky.. if you have a phobia of anything with more than 4 legs.. avoid.

can someone please let me know if they know who made the song in that video game inspired stop motion video?

Linflas?

the song is Chinois

dude.. where would I be without google and babelfish.. I had to sift through a tonne of links and lot's of Dutch just to find any reference..

Post by **Gambit37** » Thu Jul 20, 2006 10:41 am

I love stop-motion work, although the dutch video game one could do with some better editing -- some of it was simply incoherent, mainly when it got dark.
