By now you have probably worked out that I like checking out the funnier video's at YouTube. This one is kinda cool because it makes you think and proves the point that you shouldn't believe everything you see on the Internet. If you can't work it out then have a think about that old trick where you count down from 10 on the fingers of one hand and then just add five for the other to prove that you really do have eleven fingers. Just be aware that there is a ad at the end of the video for an American web site and given the story below, we wouldn't want to trust the Amreicans now would we!

The world has gone mad, well at least the American corner of it has. I stumbled upon this crazy story where some poor guy waiting for his girlfriend to buy a coffee was blown up because someone thought he looked a bit dodgy. A police officer involved had this to say ""You can never be too careful, I'd blow up a hundred innocent people if I can prevent another 9/11." Thank goodness we don't have to worry about that happening in Hobart, no one ever buys Starbucks here.

 A few other things I forgot to mention earlier. Beefy asked Boonie for a kiss on Valentines day. I bought some wine from the Kingston BWS on Thursday and they are now selling Beefy and Boonie dolls for $12 and you don't even have to buy two slabs of VB anymore. I wonder if that means they won't talk anymore? And to recap on my recent bad KFC experience,  a lovley KFC lady sent me a "do you want fry's with that" canned letter apologising for the poor service I received. The letter was so bad that some paragraphs repeated previous ones and were obviously out of place.

Wicked, our new helicopter arrived a few days ago. A mate at my work (Jason) had been telling me about these cool little radio control helicopters that he wanted. They had the full range of controls (variable pitch etc) and could do all of the acrobatics (even fly upside down), but they were a bit too expensive for me. I started poking around on the net and found these tiny little versions. They don't have a variable pitch blade so they don't do the cool stuff, but they are sooooo much fun! You can buy the original version from a few Australian websites for about $70 plus postage and I nearly went ahead and bought one, but I thought I'd check out Ebay first. They have cheap copies of the original for about half the price. I missed out on half a dozen before I finally won an auction at a cheap price. I paid only $25.50 including postage! They are the coolest things. It only weighs 10 grams and yet it is radio controlled with a flashing light and two motors etc. I just dunno how they can build them that cheap. Brad and Emma have heaps of fun flying it around the lounge room. At one stage Brad was using my head as a landing strip.

I dunno if I'm breaking copywrite by posting this here, but it's too good not to share. If you want to see more then click on the image below. Click here if you want to know how it's done. Apparantley it's called wiggle stereoscopy. It's done by taking two pictures at the same time from two slightly different angles and then animating them rapidly. You are actually seeing the two pictures one after the other but this fools your brain into thinking there is depth in the one picture.
