Eight: things I learned from books

If you don't like spoilers, be alert...

  1. Caterpillars are very hungry.
  2. Westley lives.
  3. When attempting suicide, angels with a strong resemblance to Matt Damon appears.
  4. If you are allergic to a thing, it is best not to put that thing in your mouth, particularly if the thing is cats.
  5. Godot stands them up.
  6. The ducks in St.James park really love secret agents.
  7. Bill the Pony lives happily ever after.
  8. Dumbledore dies.

Points if you know what books i'm referring to. Double points if you get em all!

20q

If you're ever bored try playing 20 questions on 20q.net

It's basically a computer trying to read your mind. Which is kinda scary, but also kinda cool! On the site you can choose between different categories, I prefer 20q people, where, you guessed it, think of a person and the magical computer will try to guess who you're thinking of. I actually works!!! During a game, it guessed Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria on the 23 question!!! I won, but still, who is weird enough to think of that old fart?!?! (except me of course.)

also, because the players "teach" the computer as we play, it possible to maybe "trick" the computer a bit. Which brings me to "Project DJ Railstone". It's the bainchild of the vlogbrothers (awesome youtube vloggers: http://www.youtube.com/user/vlogbrothers) and it's kinda cool. John will explain everything:



Ahh, the amezing powers of the internett...
my computer doesn't like to scan.. i can't blame him.. scanning is for losers. that's why i had to use my dad's computer...
