Strange Quotes on "Enemies:"
'You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you." - Eric Hoffer (1902 - 1983)
'Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names." - John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963)
'The enemy is anybody who's going to get you killed, no matter which side he's on."
Joseph Heller (1923 - ), Catch 22
'Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake." - Napoleon Bonaparte (1769 - 1821)
'Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much." - Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)
'Use your enemy's hand to catch a snake." - Persian Proverb
==================================
Today's Featured Humor : -) - - Quick (But Scary) Psychological Test
This is a genuine psychological test.
It is a story about a girl. Whilst at the funeral of her own mother, she met this guy whom she did not know. She thought this guy was amazing, so much her dream guy she believed him to be, that she fell in love with him there and then.
A few days later the girl killed her own sister.
Question: What is her motive in killing her sister?
Stop and think for a minute before reading further.
The obvious answer, Mr Bundy? She was hoping that the guy would appear at the funeral again.
If you answered this correctly, you think like a psychopath.
This was a test by a famous American psychologist used to test if one has the same mentality as a killer. Many arrested serial killers took part in this test and answered it correctly.
If you didn't answer correctly - good for you.
If your friends hit the jackpot, may I suggest that you keep your distance.

Nicolas Cage Pillowcase Covers
It's not so much that Nic Cage pillows exist,
it's more that Amazon has such an
extraordinarily wide range of them. Why not buy
two, so you can awake to the delicious fantasy
that you've been in a threesome with two
Nic Cages?
>> Sponsor B3ta <<

-------------------------------------------------
: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS WEEK
Bashing, bathing and waiting
>> Percussive Maintenance <<
"I made a new supercut!" cries dunk3d. "Give it
a good bash!" A compilation of all those bits
where someone thumps a machine and makes it
work again.
>> Canal-jumping <<
"Every summer, the inner-city kids dive in the
canals in Dublin," informs Riggleberry. "Most
people think of them as a pests, but it is an
age-old tradition." Beautiful, black-and-white
film, with Dublin youths flinging themselves
off alarmingly tall buildings into a canal full
of shopping trolleys.
>> Musical waiting <<
"This was commissioned last year but it never
got used," writes Swede Mason. "I shouldn't say
who by, they're a bit wary of being
copyfucked," he adds, cryptically.

fast-paced maths-based tour de force.

The zeitgeist - have you lost touch? Or can you
still name the latest boy band?

But you can't block, because they're kind of
your friends. Facebook is the worst.
-------------------------------------------------
: QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Twat Friends
In which we discover that we all have friends
that act like idiots, but we keep them around
for some reason:
* GAY - "My best mate is lovely but she gets
very nervous in social situations and tends to
panic and blurt. She started working with a
man who happened to be gay. She decided to
invite him and his partner to her house for
dinner and invited me for moral support. When
she is hosting she feels that she has to
ensure conversation flows and everyone is
getting on, so during dinner when there was a
lull in the conversation I could see the
tell-tale signs on her face, twitching, mouth
opening and closing, face flushed. I thought,
'Oh no, here we go'. And she blurts out, 'So,
which one of you takes it up the arse?'"
(Flowerpot)
* GORDON - "I had a friend called Gordon. One
morning he swaggered in looking like he'd just
shagged one of the student nurses next door.
'I've just shagged one of the student nurses
next door,' he said, 'Got chatting over the
fence last night.' But the fence is over six
foot and you're a short-arse Weegie. 'Oh. I
was perched on the wheelie bin,' Gordon
explains. Because..? 'Well I couldn't find my
keys and I was desperate for a shit.' So
there's a shit in the wheelie bin? 'Aye. A
massive one. Anybody want a cup of tea?'"
(Dr. Shambolic)
* UNDERSTANDING - "I used to hang out with a
friend who lacked social skills. He was just
one of those of people who couldn't gauge
anybody's emotional state. Entirely
insensitive to moods, his Alan Partridge knob
was constantly on 10. I saw him guffaw at car
crashes, put his arm around the shoulders of a
surly Glaswegian bouncer to cheer him up, and
tell a mourner to 'look on the bright side -
it wasn't both his kids.' I persevered because
I could see he genuinely had no malicious
intent, in fact all that aside he was a pretty
generous soul. When he became a fanny rat and
pursued girls way out of his league without
getting the message - from their boyfriend -
he became a liability and a dangerous bloke to
have in tow. 20 years later and I'm married to
a woman whose son has Asperger's, and another
of life's little mysteries is resolved. Kind
of like when I found out Babapapa is Spanish
for candy floss."
(J H Christ)
>> This Week - PURE FURY <<
Have you ever done something innocent or made
a harmless joke that ended in threats to your
person? Tell us about it here:
-------------------------------------------------
: SITES IN BRIEF
Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates
>> iOS7 is making people sick. <<
If the garish colour scheme didn't put you off,
apparently the peculiar new Apple animations
are making users sick and dizzy.
>> 80s muscles <<
Extraordinary cavalcade of imagery from the
1980s heyday of bodybuilding. People don't
still do that anymore, do they?
>> A Day in the life of a "Doublefaced" girl <<
Eye pencil and lipstick, creepy, simple,
but good.
>> Wikileaks 'leaks' 5th Estate script <<
Ha! In your face, media hegemony!
-------------------------------------------------
: 1970s SOCIOLOGY LECTURE
Recuperation
wikipedia writes:
Recuperation, in the sociological sense, is the
process by which politically radical ideas and
images are twisted, co-opted, absorbed,
defused, incorporated, annexed and commodified
within media culture and bourgeois society, and
thus become interpreted through a neutralised,
innocuous or more socially conventional
perspective.
With that in mind, this:
-------------------------------------------------
: VIDEO SCHMIDEO
Buffering...
>> Batdad <<
Man buys cheap mask and adopts alarming
parental persona. Funnier each time we watch it.
>> Pulp Fiction in 60 seconds <<
Quite a few swears in this, as you might
expect, of course.
>> Loading a mortar board <<
Note, this isn't the academic type of mortar
board. These guys are great!
>> Baby Got Back redux <<
Somehow much better than it should be, because
everybody is in a car.
>> Dog loves leaves! <<
Total joy.
>> Real-time rendering of Star Wars <<
Bloke runs across the screen, holding a cricket
bat. On the monitors he's already a Clone
Trooper. Is this the future of film production?

: B3TA IMAGE CHALLENGE
Results from the Misheard Lyrics Challenge
Last week we wanted you to mis-hear lyrics. You
know, for the LOLs.
Your favourites included:
* FREDDIE: entirely epic pun glut starring
Zoroastrian warbler (Afinkawan)
* KEITH: spike-haired techno punkster emits
unexpected Michelins (Frogbeat)
* BRIAN: satanic duo don posh togs to celebrate
Bohemian lifestyle (flatfrog)
All these images, and the highest as voted by
you can be found here:
>> New challenge: Controversial Gaming <<
Rockstar are really upset by all the free
advertising they're getting as a result of how
'offensive' GTA is. But what if all games were
created to be controversial in order to sell?
Design a new game or remix a classic in such a
way to upset the red-tops. Challenge suggested
by monkeon.
-------------------------------------------------
: STAR IN NEXT WEEK'S ISSUE
Make something cool and tell us about it. If
you are in it then people will see your stuff.
Things we'd really like to see include:
* A SHINY NEW APPLE MAC - if someone would like
to send us one, we would not say no.
* SOMETHING HEALTHIER THAN DOUGHNUTS that it's
acceptable to buy as a gift for people in the
office.
* A ZIP-LINE to the ground. If God had meant
mankind to be so high up, we'd be born with
200ft-long steel i-beams on our feet.
Send contributions via the mail form.
BTW: If you've sent something in that hasn't
been featured then don't be put off - we look
at everything you send us.

and if He doesn't turn their hearts,
may He turn their ankles
so we'll know them by their limping.

May you wander over the face of the earth forever, never sleep twice in the same bed, never drink water twice from the same well, and never cross the same river twice in a year. - Traditional Gypsy Curse

Strange Legal Defenses
In 1996, a Californian judge ruled against James Pflugradt's estate and in favor of the deceased's former landlord. The judge allowed the landlord to keep Pflugradt's $825 security deposit because he died without giving 30 days notice.
Troy Matthew Gentzler confessed to tossing rocks at cars from an overpass on Interstate 83 near York, Pennsylvania. But his lawyer claimed he was the victim of "Roid rage," erratic emotional swings caused by steroid use.
In October 1996, Charles S. Shapiro begged the Montgomery County, Maryland, court to allow him to change his plea to not guilty of hiring a hit man. He claimed his judgment had been impaired because he had ingested tranquilizers along with a bottle of Tums before confessing.
A Saint Louis, Missouri, man argued that the reason the jury found him guilty of stealing court documents wasn't that it had been prejudiced against him. The man claimed he was demonized because the judge allowed the jury to learn he was a lawyer.

: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS WEEK
>> National Airlines safety video <<
"If you have to fly with any airline, make sure
it's National Airlines," advises ratbanjos. A
cheesy inflight safety video with new
voiceover, this is wonderfully wrong.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/National_Airlines
>> 'Over the cliffs' <<
"I made this video here in Shetland, with a
waterproof camera and a big stick," boasts
RompaStompa. All we can say is that it must
have been a particularly big stick, as the
camera soars contemplatively high above the
rugged Scottish landscape.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Over_the_cliffs
>> Sherlock Holmes: Pipe Battle <<
"Hope you like it," opines feelwelcome of this
peculiar Sherlock Holmes pipe-smoking remix.
Just odd.

B3ta-affiliated project that sucks our time
* 19 WAYS TO MAKE AN ILLUSTRATOR GRIND THEIR

for it is a job that destroys teeth. TEETH WE
TELL YOU.

C'mon! You get to play the SHARK! Who doesn't

* CAN YOU SPOT THE NORTHAMPTON CLOWN? -
Northampton is currently being haunted by a
sinister clown. Dare you play our latest game
and track him down?

-------------------------------------------------
: QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Break-up Stories
We wanted the gory details of your relationship
failures. And you gave them to us. Go read
pineapplecharm's story of love, loss and DIY:
http://b3ta.com/questions/breakingup/
* MATCHED - "In the smoldering ashes of a
marriage breakup I decided to get back out there
and meet someone new. So, like many, I gave
online dating a try. There wasn't a great deal
of choice back then and match dot com was by far
the biggest, so I dutifully filled their profile
pages, uploaded pictures and submitted payment.
I almost held my breath with excitement as I
clicked the button to find my matches... The
first match back was 100%: could there really be
my perfect partner out there living in the same
small town as me!? No, that genius website had
decided my perfect match was my ex-wife. Looking
further I decided I probably wasn't ready to get
back on the dating scene after all. And they
don't do refunds." (golddust)
* ARSED - "You get into a relationship, you're
well matched, you share interests and the sex is
*fantastic*. So much so, that you move in and
talk about making it all permanent. She asks me
to fix her computer, as it was running like it
was submerged in treacle. Halfway through I
accidentally dropped a file into the recycling
bin. Clicked through and I found loads of
pictures of my beloved getting royally porked at
various angles by some bloke. I then found that
a) the pictures were only dated the previous
week and b) all my stuff could clearly be seen
on the bedside cabinet. Well fuck that shit. I
could live with being cheated on. What really
got me that there was clearly a third person
holding the camera, and the arse pummeling up
and down sometimes had a tattoo, sometimes it
didn't. I closed the lid on her laptop, moved
out that day, haven't spoken since." (Freddie
Woo)
* DYED - "Not me, but my friend. She had been
dating this guy for about a year and was utterly
smitten. One night he took her out for dinner as
he had something to talk about. Was he going to
ask her to move in with him? No. Said it wasn't
her, it was him. He just needed to try something
new. Something different. "Like what?" she
sobbed, "Are you gay? Are you going travelling?"
No, he just thought it was time he was with
someone more... BLONDE. And as she stared at him
in disbelief, he went on, "Please don't mis-
understand me. The very last thing I'm saying is
that you should go off and dye your hair."

>> New challenge: Misheard Lyrics II <<
Mishearing lyrics for the LOLs is one of
the cornerstones upon which B3ta was
built, yet we haven't done it as a
challenge since 2004. Time to put that
right. Suggested by PedroHin and Shallowz.

: WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
Follow-ups on previous stories.
* B3TAN IN THE DAILY MAIL - For eating cat
food. "I've made the femail section of the
DailyMail!" exclaims colmcq2. "I don't know
whether to laugh or cry!"
http://dailym.ai/19WRMfO
* NEW LITTLE KUNT ALBUM - There's a new Kunt &
the Gang album, recorded by his high pitched
alterego - and this is the download URL. We
originally linked to his web page, but got
weirded out by the pictures of Pat Butcher's
vagina.

: STAR IN NEXT WEEK'S ISSUE
Make something cool and tell us about it. If
you are in it then people will see your stuff.
Things we'd really like to see include
* STICKERS with "No, your a dick" on them. To
annoy dicks. And pedants.
* MAKEUP in one flexible sheet, so you can just
lay it on your face and save loads of time
before going out.
* AN EXTRA DAY per week, just to spend in
hibernation.

TOP TIP:
A cocktail stick, the end sanded-down and
coated with phosphorus sesquisulfide & gelatine
as the binder, makes an ideal emergency match
if you don't fancy walking to the shop.
