Friday Funday CXLI
Posted by Thomas J. Brown at 0925 hrs
Friday Funday brings you some fun and interesting links from my travels around the internet. Funday links will open in a new window.
Universcale [del.icio.us]
This is an interesting look at the size of stuff from femtometers (which contains stuff like protons and neutrons) to light-years (which contains the entire universe). It really puts things in perspective!
Supermarket 2.0 [del.icio.us]
A series of interactions between a few characters in a grocery store that is "completely web 2.0 compliant." As a web geek, this had me laughing. My favorite part was when the woman is shopping "Pandora-style".
Top Figures [del.icio.us]
This game is... Interesting. It's a little bit like Jenga, but you'll just have to play it to see what I mean.
Trysil Twintip [del.icio.us]
A game where you're a skier trying to do as many cool tricks as you can. The controls took some getting used to, and the game is a little choppy on my computer, but the graphics are pretty nice and music kicks butt.
Radio 1 - Pizza Guy Pranks [del.icio.us]
Scott Mills, a DJ for Radio 1 in the U.K., often pulls hilarious pranks on unsespecting people live on the air. One day he called a pizza joint to order pizza and the guy on the other end was a jerk, so Scott decided to mess with him on the show. FYI, if you can't understand a thick Scottish accent, you won't get as much out of this clip.

Universcale:
See also, the very excellent Powers of Ten, and the more modern Cosmic Voyage (I can't find a good copy of Cosmic Voyage, so...).
Top Figures:
So the goal is to remove as much as possible? Got it. Those in-game instructions are ... hmm. Anyway, you can still remove one more piece, if you hit "Next Level" fast enough. ^_^
Pizza Guy:
"Do you do take-away? What's 12 minus 6?"
Classic.
