Family Guy Petarded Chart Generator

 Petarded sign

If the Church sign generator wasn’t to you liking, maybe this one will be more your style,

In the "Petarded" episode of Family Guy, Peter Griffin does well at Trivial Pursuit and claims he’s a genius. Brian challenges him to take an IQ test. Peter is game, and the result indicates he isn’t exactly Mensa material. The administrator shows the chart on the left to explain where Peter’s result places him – on the lower end of "retarded", right above "creationists". You can make your own IQ test results by filling in the form below.

This should make the game play a bit more fun in a first person shooter. The gun shoots doors. no, not like the gun will only blow away doors, it makes doors that are connected. Shot one makes the exit, shot two makes the entrance. See? Check the video out if you don’t understand it.

How to: Make a Harmless Tripwire Mine

Tripwire mouse trap mine

 

Mumm… there’s a hardware store on the way home that sells all the parts I need to build these uber nifty mousetrap tripwire mines. Very harmless (even if you do put roll caps in them) and easy to make these booby traps could mean and end to office desk pilfering. If you have a bag of these mines, a couple of micro-claymores, and a few Nerf guns you would be all set for a very un-productive day in the office

Flickr’s Down For a Kip

Flick is down contestI like a place that when there is an outage they make it into a contest:

Just print out this page and colour in the dots. When the site’s back up, take a photo of your creation and post it to Flickr, tagged with "flickrcolourcontest".
Team Flickr will pick a winner in the next couple of days, and that lucky duck will get a free year of Pro.

The Flickr blog says that they lost a temporary storage facility so some of the older photos, some 20 TB worth(!), are being restored from another location. Nothing was lost but it might be a little bit until things are back to normal in Flickr land. Until then I’m breaking out the crayons!

Bigelow Inflatable Space Hotel Test A Success

 Bigelow hotel

This will be very cool if it proves to be safe and reliable. So far the test unit is about eight feet in diameter and is iintended to bring back data on deployment and durability of the structure. The craft deployed its solar cells perfectly and is charging the batteries, a sure sign that that all is going well. If you head on over to the Bigelow page you can see some video taken from cameras located outside and inside the ship. The insides are a little cluttered with photos and whatnot that people paid to have flown on the mission. You have to fund this somehow, space ain’t cheap!. Mission controllers are working on reducing the air flow inside so it isn’t as chaotic in there.
