green porno - whoa.
Some bizzare films about insect sexuality. Actually
they are pretty good, kind of swede-like. Starring
Isabella Rossallini. Trippy stuff. Viewer discression
is advised.

memrister
Scientists create first Memristor: The missing
fourth electronic circuit element
The new component is called a memristor, or
memory resistor. Up until today, the circuit
element had only been described in a series of
mathematical equations written by Leon Chua,
who in 1971 was an engineering student studying
non-linear circuits. Chua knew the circuit element
should exist—he even accurately outlined its
properties and how it would work.
Thirty-seven years later, a group of scientists
from HP Labs has finally built real working
memristors, thus adding a fourth basic circuit
element to electrical circuit theory, one that will
join the three better-known ones: the capacitor,
resistor and the inductor. Fascinating, read on.

paintball panzer
Weighing in at 900 pounds, the one-person Paintball Panzer is
seven feet long and three feet high and features a Honda GX390
engine, fiberglass shell, caterpillar tracks, roll cage, and fully
integrated fire-while-driving paintball gun. The gun itself is
two feet long and has enough firepower to shoot 15 paint shells
per second.

mori - an internet-based earthwork
We live in an actively seismic area here in California.
There are many detectors throught the state recording
these seismic events from our area as well as for many
hundreds of miles away in all directions. The Mori
display can even record events that occur here in
Southern California.
Mori displays streaming seismographic data measured
continuously from a site near the Hayward Fault above
University of California at Berkeley. The earthquake
detector is a Streckeisen STS-1 seismometer that measures
vertical ground velocity. Data is collected by the Berkeley
Seismological Laboratory and relayed to a server in the
Alpha Lab. Your display is delayed 30 seconds due to
frame buffering at the detector.
Enjoy….

have a laugh
The next time someone asks you a dumb question wouldn’t you
like to respond like this?.....
Yesterday I was buying a large bag of Purina dog chow at Wal Mart
for Athena the wonder dog and was about to check out. A woman
behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think I had,an elephant?
So since I’m retired, with little to do, on impulse, I told her that no,
I didn’t have a dog, and that I was starting the Purina Diet again.
Although I probably shouldn’t, because I’d ended up in the
hospital last time, but that I’d lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an
intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and
IVs in both arms.
I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way
that it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets
and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry and that the
food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again. (I have to
mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now
enthralledwith my story.)
Horrified , she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the
dog food poisoned me. I told her no; I stepped off a curb to sniff
an Irish Setter’s ass and a car hit us both.
I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack, he
was laughing so hard!
Thanks Jeff,

synsepalum dulcificum
Imagine cutting a lemon into four quarters and then
eating them like a delicious navel orange without
flinching or making a sour pucker face. Not too many
people can do this but now you can like the best of them.
When you eat a piece of this strange fruit, it makes
everything sour taste sweet for the next hour or so.
What the heck you say! Read on…

printable paper
Here is another website that has some nice
printable paper. These sites may be a little
“ink intensive” but in a pinch, you can create
and have high quality specialized paper for
whatever application you might need. Have
a look.
