Look at me dropping back in without a hello. Hello!

And seeing as I got this blast from the past on the iphone recently I thought I'd drop the original in here to annoy you all.

How many questions are there? I'm stuck on the signboard one. Don't tell me the answer! Haha :)
Posted by Sul, 3 months ago:
 
I think there's about 100 questions in all. Ive been playing the iphone version which is apparently a tiny bit different. Im up to around 70. Takes a good 5 mins to get back to that point each time though.

Cheese 'n crackers. It should allow you to bank your answers.

Okay so we have movie actresses playing movie actresses. I know Marilyn is a legend and all that but why? She was just a pretty blonde woman with limited talent. Why all the fuss over her? I don't think any actor/actress has ever been portrayed more than Marilyn Monroe. Can you think of any?

This has gone a bit tits-up at Yahoo/ITN news.

Firstly it says, "Not content with being the world's fastest skateboarding dog, Tillman the bulldog is now trying his paws at skateboarding," when it should say 'snowboarding,' and the video it eventually shows is Posh Spice at the British Fashion Awards.

Double fail.

The Whale Said "Thank You"

If you read a recent front page story of the SF Chronicle, you would have read
about a female humpback whale who had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat.
She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso,
A line tugging in her mouth.

A fisherman spotted her just east of the Farallon Islands (outside the Golden Gate)
And radioed an environmental group for help.

Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so bad off,
The only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her.

They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her.

When she was free,the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles.

She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, and nudged them,
Pushed them gently around - she was thanking them.

Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives.

The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth said her eyes were following him the whole time,
And he will never be the same.

May you, and all those you love, be so blessed and fortunate to be surrounded by people
Who will help you get untangled from the things that are binding you.

And , may you always know the joy of giving and receiving gratitude.
I pass this on to you, my friends, in the same spirit.

Octopus snatches coconut shell and runs.

They are at it again. Personally, I think a lot of the complainers are secretly jealous.
Posted by cal, 3 months ago:
 
that octopus video is cute
Posted by syl, 3 months ago:
 
Yes :)
Posted by WarHead, 3 months ago:
 
Cute and clever. I like the way their 'arms' move in sequence, rather than randomly. A bit like a horse with eight legs might do.
Posted by syl, 3 months ago:
 
It's just an awesome video. And shows that animals are more intelligent than we give them credit for.
