    Daniel Danger again. Ok I promise this guy isn't paying me to plug him every so often but seriously he's a hero. Here's a presentation he made at Offset in Dublin last year. And here are some of his gig posters....

    This absolutely blew my mind! A tour of the space station, they show you the flight area too. I couldn't stop smiling.

    Sums up the attitude towards gays (in Britain, but it wasn't much different elsewhere) up until just a few decades ago.

    kinetic typograhpy ftw




    Now let's take that to a whole new level. Let's combine that idea with some nice illustrations. Add an interesting enough psychology lecture. The result? RSAnimate. Here's a good one, I'm not going to waste your time by posting more because they're all 10 miuntes long

    The 1901 census is online now, think the 1911 one has been for a while. I think these things are fascinating, you can trace your family, see how they lived, and you can look up famous people at the time as well.
    Class, apparently my great great grandfather was a Grain Cargo Superintendant. Who knew? :D

    This article. It's about 5 really weird crimes that are total mysteries, and haven't been solved. The first one is my favourite.

    Watch this in full screen and tell me there weren't points where you forgot you were watching CGI. Not sure how the game's going to be, but DAMN it Lucas, please make an entire film of this stuff.

    Surgery. I know it's waaaaaay creepy... my friends accept it but they certainly don't share it

    The more bones they have to crush to get at something the better. Pituitary tumour removal = :)

    The Limerick database.
    Lots of limericks, a lot of them are pretty nerdy but that seems to just be how it happened, doesn't appear to be any rules on content.

    A few selected from the top scorers.
    There once was a buggy AI
    Who decided her subject should die.
    When the plot was uncovered,
    The subjected discovered
    That sadly the cake was a lie.
    if(computer.fail==true){
    background.setColor(blue);
    user.frown();
    sys.shutdown();
    user.scream("OH, **** YOU");}
    A UNIX saleslady, Lenore,
    Enjoys work, but she likes the beach more.
    She found a good way
    To combine work and play:
    She sells C shells by the seashore.
    A dying mosquito exclaimed,
    "A chemist has poisoned my brain!"
    The cause of his sorrow
    Was para-dichloro-
    Diphenyl-trichloroethane

    I could go on but since you're alll going to go there right now anyway and read them all I should stop

    The seminary provides food and accommodation and covers the academic costs. Each student receives an allowance to cover personal expenses such as books and clothes.

    If students have cars they are welcome to bring them to the seminary. There are also vehicles available to enable students to get to them to go to class, household shopping and pastoral activities.

    **** this computer ****, to the priesthood it is.

    EDIT: Nope, I continued reading.
    Parish Priests are given a cash stipend of €00.000 per year and Assistant Priests are paid €00.000. This may seem like a small amount

    Haha I misread the first line in that as "Do I have to pray for my own studies/textbooks/etc?" :rolleyes:
