3.31.2004 Neat trick. (put your mouse over his face) posted by Christopher Null | 6:41 PM "I cannot see a real difference between a library that places a photocopy machine in a room full of copyrighted material and a computer user that places a personal copy on a shared directory linked to a P2P service." Damn, that's a good way of putting it! TheStar.com - Court rejects music lawsuit posted by Christopher Null | 6:36 PM 3.30.2004 Gummi bear experiment tips I've heard from a number of folks (including the Discovery Channel) who are having trouble replicating the experiments herein. Here are some pointers. Believe me, there is no Photoshop trickery involved -- I haven't the time or the ability to phony up such a picture! > Use cool or cold water! Hot water will melt the Gummi bears immediately (producing the brown goo showin in experiment #2). Remember, Gummi bears are basically very dense Jell-O. The goal is to get the bear into as much of a Jell-O'ed state as possible. > We are using "Trolli" brand bears. Other brands may behave differently. > Wait. It will take a few hours before you see the initial swelling. You'll have a well swollen bear if you wait overnight. After about 3 days, the bear starts to disintegrate. > Plain water works best. We've tried other liquids, like tea and cold coffee, but nothing soaks into a Gummi as good as plain old water. (Hard or soft water may affect your results, however.) > Have fun. Please folks, this is not serious stuff. posted by Christopher Null | 9:15 AM 3.29.2004 Fun with Track Changes... [strike out] posted by Christopher Null | 10:41 PM Here's an over-the-weekend experiment of about 10 Gummis in room temperature water. At some point they start to slowly melt and merge, though not fully like in experiment #2. Look closely at the green bear at the bottom of the glass and you can still see the arms and legs poking out a bit. (In related news, my "coffee-soaked Gummi" experiment was summarily removed by the janitorial staff.)

Citizen Kubrick posted by Christopher Null | 12:42 PM Moira Hahn sends photos of her own candy experiment... somewhat more ambitious than the Gummis (which, by the way, are soaking over the weekend for some additional experiments)...

The Village Voice: Film: Answers to the World's Hardest Movie Quiz by Michael Atkinson posted by Christopher Null | 4:14 PM LIMOZEEN lives on Strong Bad's 100th email! Compy 386!! posted by Christopher Null | 1:06 PM 3.16.2004 The two large girls at the movies... for 30 minutes beforehand, they talk about one subject: food. Where they go to lunch, what they eat at lunch, when they bring their lunch, how often they bring their lunch, what they bring, what kind of rice they have in the burritos at the cafeteria, how you can bring your own seasoned salt into the movies to keep the salt even on the popcorn. There is also some minor discussion of Scrabble; one of the women, when her friend has run off for snacks, is reading The Official Scrabble Dictionary. Reading it, like a novel. During the movie, they eat the whole time, from a big bag. Apples, candy bars, and Gatorade, as near as I can tell. posted by Christopher Null | 10:27 PM Bahahaha!
