Serial Experiments Larme

"The greatest philosopher of our time."

Again, I found this list from the awesome OnMyList. My favorites from the list include:

"I think I am, therefore, I am. I think."

"Ever notice that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?"

and

"If god had intended us not to masturbate he would have made our arms shorter."

I certainly don't consider George Carlin as a candidate for the greatest philosopher. But no one is that stupid to correct it. You can read more quotes from Mr Carlin here.

Good Job! Apple

As I mentioned in previous post Apple released the new iWork with a spreadsheet application called "Numbers". And you know what? They use the ultimate number as one of Numbers' buttons. GJ!

You can see the screenshot in flickr gallery here.

Top Ten ways to fuck up your kids@Everything2.com

Take a look at Top Ten ways to fuck up your kids@Everything2.com. The first version is really funny. What I especially want to try are number ten (pretend to die) and number two (teach them right and left backwards) if I ever have a kid. An Japanese essayist Senoo Kappa[1] (who is also a scenic designer) told a similar story in one of his book: He taught his daughter the usage of "Thank you" and "You're welcome" reversely, then his daughter found that her father was cheating and refused to trust him for a long time. So seriously, if you want to be a good parent, don't try this at home!

[1] It seems that Senoo Kappa is not very famous in the English world. His wiki page only has Japanese version and Chinese version. He's really a funny guy. Even his name is amusing.

All about the Word "F***"

Yesterday when reading a post named "The Worst City Names in the World" on "OnMyList", I was surprised by a place called "Fucking" (in Austria, so the "full name" should be Fucking, Austria). What an awesome name! I can understand why the residents voted against changing the name in 2004 (see its wiki page). The only name which is as cool as "Fucking" is Hell (Hi, I live/was born in Hell!). However, there're already a ton of places named "Hell". I think many people have the same opinions as mine. The evidence is, from the same wiki page, the traffic sign with its name on it is frequently stolen.

The unfortunate traffic sign. I want one.

It seems that people really love the word "fuck". They use this word to express emotions like love, hate, good, bad. This lucky word has its own wiki page (and it's long!) , is used on millions of web pages (google it). Can anyone live without it?

"Fuck" is used in music industrial, an it plays an important role. I remember there's a "clean" version of Radiohead's "creep" which replaces the "fucking special" to "very special" . OMG this ruins half the song. And some idiots continue to do the same stupid thing (their enthusiasm of cutting the songs make me wonder if they have cut their own balls off). The good thing is that we can create songs with the f-word by ourselves. A simple strategy is every time you meet a word "love", you just replace it with "fuck". One of my favorite is Freddie Mercury's "I Was Born To Love You"

It's a great song. I'm a fan of queen. So please don't send email threats to me :)

How about movies? Wikipedia has a list of films that most frequently use the f-word. Cool! Even cooler, some one made "fucking short version" of some of these films.

Casino, ranked no.3, 398 "fuck"s.

Jarhead, ranked no.5, 335 "fuck"s.

Twin Town, ranked no.6, 318 "fuck"s.

Pulp Fiction, ranked no.19, 269 "fuck"s

The Big Lebowski, ranked no.20, 265 "fuck"s
If you are a pro wrestling fan. Do you remember the "The Big Valbowski" Val Vensi?

Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back, ranked no.21, 260 "fuck"s
"Watch the language, little boy! There is female's present."

And last but certainly not least, a combination of music and movie, "Dont say fuck" from South Park.
