For fans of Home and Away this is a must watch.....

Calling Closed Sessions

Impossible to verify, but this is apparently a six word short story that Hemmingway wrote to win a bet. Supposedly brought tears to some readers.

Forget sharpened toothbrushes, check out this prison weapon:

"Penitentiary inmates, particularly those serving lengthy sentences, often find inventive inspiration in those passing hours and days. One convict at medium-security Stony Mountain Institution in Manitoba, near Winnipeg, turned his time and creativity to the fabrication of a remarkable weapon. It might rank among the most ingenious ever found inside a Canadian prison, not solely for its remarkable design, but also because of its lethal potential."

Fantastic to see a Royal Commission has been announced re the abuse of children. That NSW police officer is a very gutsy guy. Hats off to him for standing firm, using his position and speaking out so publicly. Let's just hope the commission has real teeth and bites some of these ****ers ****ing hard.

 

[The BIG X]

Agree Grizz - for this Royal Commission to have an inpact it MUST have authority to cover all avenues.
It is long overdue.

Hahaha

With all the Internet piracy things like this were bound to start happening.

And then this: http://www.paranormalnewscentral.com/featured/hoaxes/494-time-traveler-exposed

It's a great idea, nevertheless.Bit like this from a couple of years ago.



Let me explain: was reading a draft of a journo/writer's piece on time travel in popular culture, both the hoaxes and the weird unexplained photos. It's interesting from a cultural perspective. Not sure if there's anything out there though that can remotely be called evidence.

The 'mobile' video seemed to have been taken by a third person, which was a give away.

Love this bit of urban improvement from Germany.

They wrapped alumininum bands around an old chimmney which reflects the sky and makes it look like parts of it float.

Ahhh...the old disappearing chimney trick. A great idea for those pesky eyesores.

Thanks for posting, Grizz. Love it.

This is so random, and so funny.

"Nina Katchadourian whiles away long plane journeys by locking herself in the lavatory and pretending to be a 15th century Dutch painting. The project began spontaneously on a flight in March 2010 and is ongoing…"

Seen this? Giff graffiti.

It's a weird arse urban grafiti that can exist as a Giff. Quite striking.

Wowsers! That's nuts, man!

Wowsers! That's nuts, man!

Isn't it a cultural bender? Has to be made in the real world. Takes many time-consuming hours executing something that's highly skilled in a traditional fashion. Then it can only exist the way it's intended online as a low resolution file. I love it.

 

[IBleedBrownNGold]

It really is ingenious. I love these sorts of things that take you to a level and then completely blow you away with their insane innovation. Great stuff.

Hey guys, sorry to intrude. Inspired by the brilliant "Top 100 Movies/TV Shows" threads on the Media and Entertainment board (definitely check 'em out if you haven't - they're great), I thought I'd create one for video games which can be found here.

Would really, really love your input so we can have a bigger sample size and therefore more accurate results.

Cheers.

PS: If this is deemed to be on the wrong board, feel free to move it mods.
