f) had a nice holiday in Brazil instead of Spandau

I might be doing this wrong.

A golden cage remains a cage. :lol:

Why many Heavy Metal bands are scandinavic has really cultural roots:

Kong Christian stod ved højen mast
i røg og damp;
hans værge hamrede så fast,
at gotens hjelm og hjerne brast.
Da sank hvert fjendtligt spejl og mast
i røg og damp.
Fly, skreg de, fly, hvad flygte kan!
hvo står for Danmarks Christian
hvo står for Danmarks Christian
i kamp?


Niels Juel gav agt på stormens brag.
Nu er det tid.
Han hejsede det røde flag
og slog på fjenden slag i slag.
Da skreg de højt blandt stormens brag:
Nu er det tid!
Fly, skreg de, hver, som véd et skjul!
hvo kan bestå mod Danmarks Juel
hvo kan bestå mod Danmarks Juel
i strid?


O, Nordhav! Glimt af Wessel brød
din mørke sky.
Da ty'de kæmper til dit skød;
thi med ham lynte skræk og død.
Fra valen hørtes vrål, som brød
den tykke sky.
Fra Danmark lyner Tordenskjold;
hver give sig i himlens vold
hver give sig i himlens vold
og fly

Du danskes vej til ros og magt,
sortladne hav!
Modtag din ven, som uforsagt
tør møde faren med foragt
så stolt som du mod stormens magt,
sortladne hav!
Og rask igennem larm og spil
og kamp og sejer før mig til
og kamp og sejer før mig til
min grav!

That song is almost modern compared to most Scandinavian cultural roots :lol: http://www.tyr.fo/

Played Act 1 of "Broken Age" today (got a -25% for it on Steam)... really great adventure game, the only thing I felt negative: It was a bit too short before it was over. The puzzles are not too easy, but you quickly gather enough hints for solving them before you feel like you got stuck. The parallel fantasy and sci-fi worlds are also pretty well done, the artwork is really awesome.

Well, its like feeling 17 again, when you got your hands on "The Fate Of Atlantis"...

Reading the book "Childhood's End" by Arthur C. Clarke and I've concluded one thing from it:

Whales are an excellent solution for interstellar exploration.

Whales are an excellent solution for interstellar exploration.

Wales is too, for breeding ships you want...no that was Yorkshire. Dammit.

I wonder what could have been the first casualty if modern Olympics would have carried on with the naked rule. Cycling was part of the first games and some were falling, skin on asphalt? Sounds rough. Then again so was fencing (with a head mask) which can go bad, too.

And ice hockey naked sounds like the fastest way to get rid of Canada for once and for all.

Before man reaches the moon, mail will be delivered within hours from New York to California, to Britain, to India or Australia by guided missiles. We stand on the threshold of rocket mail.

Instead, we got e-mail...

If we could send a man to the Moon as an attachment, it would be awesome.

For the moment, what about rocket e-mail? You know, for large attachments...

Imagine the constant panic if mail gets delivered intercontinentally by rockets... :lol:

I'm going to kill someone at microsoft...

Since my last restart, I'm having an "important issue" listed in systems maintenance.

The important message says: "find an antivirus program online".

Well' I have one installed, dooh. But I click on the message anyways, to see what comes up. Maybe Windows and Avira have a miscommunication of some sort, whatever.

Clicking the message expectedly opens a new tab in my browser, and loads... this page?

Microsoft: now considering self-advertisement an important system maintenance issue. Thanks to this, I'll probably miss some actually important messages in the future :facepalm:

Relevant xkcd:

Already two years old and yeah, still not really sure if we solved anything. Torrenting would probably be my choice now, also gets rid of the "99%...99.5%...MUM! DON'T PICK UP THE PHONE!" also that's known as 24 hour reboot these days.

I wonder when popular culture will have forgotten about picking up the phone. But it was in Simpsons, so never.

We put you into the wild. This is the internet, go play with it. All these files are yours except the torrented .rars, attempt no download there!

All the more reason never to execute an email attachment.

All e-mail attachments sent to North Korea from any other country are executed by default, on charges of espionage. :lol:
