That's incredible, when I saw this thread was active again I immediately thought of posting about straightdope!

Here's something I find incredibly interesting. A guy with locked-in syndrome answering people's questions very honestly and frankly. Fascinating, and very endearing...

wow I just read that thread is eyeopening to say the least. Very interesting.

Banksy - Such a genius. His stuff is so clever, and currently occupies a space on my desktop background.

Thoose videos are class, I'd seen a few of them before. Amazing stuff.

And those pictures are really cool. When I was in Bordeaux, there was an artist darwing stuff on the street. There was a massive crowd around him. When I got through to the front I got really freaked out because it was a massive canyon! :pac:

While I am a big banksy fan, I have to admit I found this article hilarious and true in points:

No offence, but that article is just ridiculous. The writer is stirring crap for the sake of it, looking for reasons to dislike his work.

Also, I definitely didn't find it funny!

Just my opinion

He was on the late late show last year sometime and I remember they showed this clip...I'll never forget it, its amazing.

Quite poignant at the end when he starts mimicking the men who are tearing down his home skip to 1:45 if you want to get to the really interesting bit!

That's incredible. Attenborough is the coolest man in the world. O love the Planet Earth series. So interesting.

I usually go onto Digg when I get bored or distracted, I suppose it's the same idea, but it always keeps me entertained!

I've tried a bit of Digg, it's pretty good for when boards or the boards (of rage) are dead.

Day Job Orchestra. It's so immature and I'm ashamed of myself for laughing at it, but they're just damn funny

Quick warning, they're a bit "NSFW". Nothing happens in the actual video, just the language used, so you might wanna put on some headphones if you're with anyone who doesn't like bad words
