This is a fairly old video, but some of the facts in here might encourage thought!

This is the funniest video that I have seen a long time!

If this offends you, oops! But I really don’t care, this is about Twitter and not about Hitler, so get over it and laugh a little!

This is the masterpiece of Nicholas Deleon and his brother Gabriel and big up to John Biggs for putting it out!

The date is made up of two digits that are each written in one single motion of the pen. Closed symbols representing eternity are brought together to form this very lucky date.

The Chinese have realised this and for this reason the Olympic’s Opening Ceremony will be held today.

As an example of the good luck that this date could bring you, my angel is having an absolutely fabulous day:

• She just received her grades for her Master’s degree and she kicked ass!
• She just started a new post at her countries embassy in China today!
• She is gonna attend the 2008 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony in Beijing today!

If that isn’t a good streak…then I’m honestly lost for words! Nice one Loabs

The Bugatti Veyron is among the most exclusive cars in the world, a 1,000-horsepower super exotic owned by fewer than 150 people. Every one of them is about to be upstaged by the drop-dead gorgeous roadster Bugatti will unveil later this month at the Pebble Beach Concours.

Bugatti pulled the wraps off the stunning Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport this morning. The company isn’t saying much about the car before its Aug. 16 premier, but does say that structural changes and other innovations make the roadster as rigid — and safe — as the coupe, which does zero to 60 in as little as 2.3 seconds (Bugatti claims 2.5) and tops out at 253 mph.

The top looks opaque but is actually clear, and the car looks just as good with it as without. Aerodynamic tweaks improve airflow, allowing the two lucky occupants to enjoy the growl of the Veyron’s 16-cylinder engine and the blurred landscape passing at 215 250 mph without mussing their hair.

Want one? Get in line. Word has it Bugatti will build just 80 Grand Sports at $2.25 million apiece, but it’s not clear if those 80 are included in the 300 Veyrons the company will build. The first Grand Sport will be auctioned Aug. 17 at the concours.

Rock Paper Scissors (RPS) is probably the most used method of solving a deadlocked negotiation. It’s the only way to decide who get’s the TV remote or gets to ride shotgun!

There is even a World Rock Paper Scissors Society with championship competitions held all over the world each year!

Here’s a simple three step strategy to help you out:

1. Play paper first. Rookies tend to lead with rock, so paper is the safest opener. (A savvy opponent will try the same, causing a tie.) If you win, claim victory; if not, start the next throw right away, because of course it’s two out of three.

2. Exploit copycats. Casual players often switch to the object that just beat them. You can encourage them to do this by shouting, “Paper wins!” when you defeat their rock. Then throw scissors on the next round.

3. Watch for doubles. People rarely throw the same hand three times in a row; if they play scissors twice, your next move is paper. Also, keep up the pace so they have less time to think and instead fall into patterns.

Caterina Fake, who co-founded Flickr along with her husband Stewart Butterfield in 2004, has announced her plans to join a fledgling new startup called Hunch. Flickr is one of the web’s most popular photo-sharing sites, and was acquired by Yahoo in 2005 for $35 million. Since then, Flickr has been one of Yahoo’s most successful properties, but Fake left the company in June as part of the executive exodus from the struggling search giant.

In her blog post on the matter, Fake says that she will be joining Hunch as Chief Product Officer. Details about the New York-based startup are very slim at this point, and Fake’s description doesn’t shed much light on the matter:

“What is Hunch? Well, as you might assume, it is a consumer internet application, it will have a lot of user participation, and it is more than a little fun. Beyond that, we’re still making it up.”

Beyond that nebulous description, Fake offers few details beyond stating that Butterfield won’t be involved with the project.
