OK - here's a cool link to the Film Snobs. And here's a little teaser from the review of XXX: "Starring: * The Iron Giant * Explosions and Gadgets! You Know, Like in James Bond! Or Maxim Magazine! * The Things I'm Going to Do For My Country Directed by a Rob Cohen, Who Should Just Buy A Harley To Deal With His Midlife Crisis and Not Make Any More Movies" ---- Next link is from "How much is inside" And some teasers from the site: "How much is inside a pound of coffee? Coffee is usually sold in U.S. pounds here in California, while cocaine and heroin are available in grams and kilograms. Brooke, Jane and I pose with the first two gallons. I usually only bring one gallon of morning coffee in my car, otherwise my driving can become erratic. * The metric version of these numbers is 26.5 liters per kilogram of beans * There are 3,350 coffee beans per pound, therefore 1,000 beans per liquid gallon * There are about 8½ grams of caffeine per pound of coffee, therefore... * the lethal dosage of caffeine (reported to kill 50% of the population) is estimated at 10 grams for oral administration, so even a pound of coffee probably won't kill you. * If you drink coffee in 16oz. cups like I do, that 3.2 gallons will fill 25½ cups of coffee, more if you leave room for cream * And finally, if you order some complex bullshit like a double-tall, half-caff, skim Mochachino with light foam & two ice-cubes, you are 50% more likely to have someone spit in your drink." But the site is definately worth checking out - at least for the pictures...:-) ---- This link goes for the Hypertextbook. Check out the "Get Bent" section about a 3682 miles long bikeride: "This is the story of my six-week odyssey riding across North America on a recumbent bicycle: a bicycle you ride in a recumbent (seated) position. Recumbent bicycles are sometimes called "bents", which is where the phrase "get bent" comes from." - and his advices, if you'd ever do the same: "1. Don't be cheap with a bike your going to ride for thousands of miles. 2. Don't listen to advice from non-cyclists. 3. Don't own a car." *** - | posted by Tommy on 2:11 PM ---ooo--- |
