Warchalking

Deu no Boing Boing:

What is all this about? Well - it was born out of a good lunch, like lots of ideas; where we hit upon the idea of creating a hobo language for wireless access points.

Find a node, and leave a chalk symbol for others to find the node with a minimum of all that tiresome netstumbler business.

Sabbatum

Deu no memepool:

You know the songs. You've heard them hundreds of times. You love them. But now they exceed Your wildest expectations. They are played on long-forgotten instruments You've probably never heard of. They are sung in Latin, mother of all languages.

Chicken Challenge

The $10,000 Chicken Challenge pits one of fifteen specially trained live chickens against untrained live people like you in an electronic Tic Tac Toe game. If you beat the chicken, you win $10,000. Now, before you go getting all ³cocky,² you should probably be aware that they¹ve been doing this at the Tropicana in Atlantic City for almost a year now and only five people have won.

Ainulindalë

There was Eru, the One, who in Arda is called Iluvatar; and he made first the Ainur, the Holy Ones, that were the offspring of his thought, and they were with him before aught else was made. And he spoke to them, propounding to them themes of music; and they sang before him, and he was glad. But for a long while they sang only each alone, or but few together, while the rest hearkened; for each comprehended only that part of the mind of Iluvatar from which he came, and in the understanding of their brethren they grew but slowly. Yet ever as they listened they came to deeper understanding, and increased in unison and harmony.

Hikaru Dorodango

How to Make Shiny Dorodango

  1. Pack some mud into your hand, and squeeze out the water while forming a sphere.
  2. Add some dry dirt to the outside and continue to gently shape the mud into a sphere.
  3. When the mass dries, pack it solid with your hands, and rub the surface until a smooth film begins to appear.
  4. Rub your hands against the ground, patting and rubbing the fine, powdery dirt onto the sphere. Continue this for two hours.
  5. Seal the ball in a plastic bag for three or four hours. Upon removing the sphere, repeat step 4, and then once again seal the sphere in a plastic bag.
  6. Remove the ball from the bag, and if it is no longer wet, polish it with a cloth until it shines.

um...uh...

So, there are these, uh, psychologists who believe that um, I mean, they're trying to prove that those little stops and starts that are, you know, used in conversational speech are, like, legitimate words.

The Call of Cthulu

PC manda avisar:

Cientistas podem ter achado artefato de civilização avançada pré-humana

Uma placa encontrada pode ser um mapa da região, com representações de canais e represas e inscrições em uma língua desconhecida. O problema é que esta placa tem 120 milhões de anos. As placas foram encontradas por Alexandr Chuvyrov, professor da Bashkir State University e por estudantes de pósgraduação chineses, durante um trabalho que investigava as migrações chinesas para a Sibéria e o Ural.

Determinou-se também que a placa não foi cortada com ferramentas pré-históricas, mas com ferramentas de precisão. E que o mapa pode ser parte de uma representação tri-dimensional da Terra. Além desta placa específica, foram encontradas dezenas de outras.

A idade do mapa foi determinada pela idade de conchas incrustadas na pedra.

Este trabalho esta sendo "peer-reviewed". Pode ser um hoax, mas pode não ser. Nada impediria uma civilização de ter nascido, crescido e morrido na Terra milhões de anos antes do homem. E nós não encontrariámos registros por dois motivos. Um, o tempo destruiria quase tudo (os fósseis de dinossauros, por exemplo, são poucos e quase nunca completos). Dois, ninguém estava procurando indícios de civilizações avançadas em eras geológicas distantes.
