Amusements

A quote I came across on the web today:

According to the gun designer of The Matrix.
Larry & Andy Wachowski: Who uses a .50 Desert Eagle?
Gun Designer: A wanker.
Wachowskis: No, who are they made for?
Designer: Wankers.
Wachowskis: Our wankers in this film want Desert Eagles.
Designer: Your film.


And for just about all of you, a beautiful image about work frustration here.

Still trying to track down an eyeball-moulding kit so we can take a cast of my eyeballs. They don't seem to be in common use these days. So far, all three people on the 'might have one' list turn out to have been old optom classmates of my supervisor, which is handy, but we may have some difficulty finding what we're after.

(No, I am not going to use plaster of Paris if I can't find the proper stuff.)

And I, for one, welcome our new parrot overlords. And our squid overlords, too.

Also, creepiest webpage ever. (Link points to a page with description & pointer to cached ick, rather than directly to the creepyness.)

I adore that image, and it will be all around work by 1:30 today.

I'm not so much with that work frustration image, but that might be personality. I'm not so much the beat *myself* up over work frustration kind of personl. See, my kind of work frustration image would feature said frustrated user grabbing clueless cause of work frustration (be it cow-worker or pointy-hair) and beating *his* head bloody into the keyboard... :-)

(Yeah, I'm a "up in the tower until the police come get me" kind of person instead of a "nip off into a corner and put the barrel under my chin" kind of person...)

Dude! I have those cubes in the parrot picture! I've been using them in my interviews with actual human beings. (I have yellow ones too.)

I wonder if the parrot could find how many of them, when stuck together in pairs, fit into a particular box. (Some of my teachers could not.)

And that's my daily dose of surrealism, right there! Woo!

You could always try the mask-makers trick of using liquid latex? *grin*

Out of curiosity, and I may have asked you this before and forgotten, but are these just casts of the front of your eyeballs?

And if not, how do you do it without having to take them out first?

My god, that's creepy. It's like a gallery of RealDolls.
