[holy king]

yeah, sure would come in handy.

why has nobody ever thought about this?

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Sounds like a business plan!

I'll do the pitch to publishers, holy king you can do the typing.

Google probably uses the algorithm that matches words of similar phonetic meaning, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphone

 

[Masada]

Google is officially awesome. More seriously though, I'm not sure a dictionary would have helped. On the other hand, Google apparently would have.

since i look way more respectable, i suggest the other way round.

Do they sell records anywhere anymore? Like vinyl ones?

 

[ParadigmShifter]

In the UK they sell vinyl records in DJ shops.

 

[Huayna Capac357]

In the United States then.

Do they sell records anywhere anymore? Like vinyl ones?

Yes. But it's limited edition and specialty stuff.

One of the dishes was not rinsed out properly. Now how do I get the taste of dish soap out of my mouth? I tried eating something else with a strong taste but it didnt work.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

You want something acidic, like a lemon. Or vinegar perhaps

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Would an orange work? I have that.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Yeah, try that.

 

[W|M]

Any citrus fruit will work.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Well the orange did work. I think an orange is a citrus.

Is this 1982 or 1983? Content of the rest of the pic could be either.

 

[cardgame]

Very optical illusion-esque

My money is on 1983; you can see the pixels on the bottom right of it that connect the bottom bar with the middle.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Actually, it was from what looks like a photocopy of an ad. Its all blobby and black.

I read somewhere microfilm makes pictures go all blobby. Is this true? Ive never actually seen a microfilm in my life so its not like I could check myself.

 

[shadowplay]

I blew it way up and it's clearly 1983.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

The warranty booklet says that disassembling my optical mouse may present the risk of electrocution and/or death. Has anybody even done that?
