Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open. - Elmer G. Letterman

When the character of a man is not clear to you, look at his friends. - Japanese Proverb

To succeed is nothing, it's an accident. but to feel no doubts about oneself is something very different: it is character. - Marie Leneru, Oprah Magazine, May 2004

Today's Featured Humor : -) - Strange Superstitions about Death

Strange Superstitions about Death

BIRD
A bird in the house is a sign of a death. If a robin flies into a room through a window, death will shortly follow.

CANDLE
Light candles on the night after November 1. One for each deceased relative should be placed in the window in the room where death occurred.

CEMETERY
You must hold your breath while going past a cemetery or you will breathe in the spirit of someone who has recently died.

CLOCK
If a clock which has not been working suddenly chimes, there will be a death in the family. You will have bad luck if you do not stop the clock in the room where someone dies.



CORPSE
If a woman is buried in black, she will return to haunt the family. If a dead person's eyes are left open, he'll find someone to take with him. Mirrors in a house with a corpse should be covered or the person who sees himself will die next.

DOG
Dogs howling in the dark of night, Howl for death before daylight.

DREAMS
If you dream of death it's a sign of a birth, if you dream of birth, it's a sign of death. If you touch a loved one who has died, you won't have dreams about them

DYING
A person who dies on Good Friday will go right to heaven. A person who dies at midnight on Christmas Eve will go straight to heaven because the gates of heaven are open at that time. All windows should be opened at the moment of death so that the soul can leave. The soul of a dying person can't escape the body and go to heaven if any locks are locked in the house.

EYE
If the left eye twitches there will soon be a death in the family. If a dead person's eyes are left open, he'll find someone to take with him.

FUNERAL
Funerals on Friday portend another death in the family during the year. It's bad luck to count the cars in a funeral cortege. It's bad luck to meet a funeral procession head on. Thunder following a funeral means that the dead person's soul has reached heaven. Nothing new should be worn to a funeral, especially new shoes. Pointing at a funeral procession will cause you to die within the month Pregnant women should not attend funerals.

GRAVE
If the person buried lived a good life, flowers will grow on the grave. If the person was evil, weeds will grow.

MIRROR
If a mirror in the house falls and breaks by itself, someone in the house will die soon.

MOTH
A white moth inside the house or trying to enter the house means death.

PHOTOGRAPH
If 3 people are photographed together, the one in the middle will die first.

THIRTEEN
If 13 people sit down at a table to eat, one of them will die before the year is over.

UMBRELLA
Dropping an umbrella on the floor means that there will be a murder in the house.

 Buy some fucking magnets


 We bought a load of tiny magnets the other day

 - ostensibly for sticking stuff on the fridge

 but instead spend a good couple of hours

 playing with them. This is how we party at B3ta

 Towers and you can join in too.  

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00AAWEH9I/b3ta-21



-------------------------------------------------


: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS WEEK


 >> LinkedIn Bohemian Rhapsody <<

 "Timewasting puntastic voyeurism. And Queen,"

 brags merkinhead. This is actually pretty

 amazing.

http://www.b3ta.com/links/Soc_Media_Rhapsody



 >> Ant music <<

 "I love Ants so much I did a song about them,"

 explains fred zeppelin. Excell-ANT!

http://www.b3ta.com/links/1307250/



 >> Linda McCartney! <<

 "Be very careful what you wish for b3ta," warns

 thecrapgatsby - then goes on to blame Kirstie

 Allsopp for this... musical EXTRAVAGANZA.

: CAPTION COMPETITION

 George Osborne and his hand of death


 This photo appeared during the election and for

 some reason few picked up on it. But by God -

 what happened to George Osborne's hands?


 It's like he's been touched by death.

: B3TA IMAGE CHALLENGE

 Results from the 'Dog Albums' challenge


 Last week wanted to see what music dogs listen

 to and the glorious album artwork that would

 contain it.

 Your favourites included:


 * Floyd: The Bark Side of the Moon. (AndyR)

http://b3ta.com/board/11151731


 * Numan: It's the only way to live. (monkeon)

http://b3ta.com/board/11152046


 * Devo: Nice hat. (HappyToast)

 All these images, and a load more can be

 found here:

http://b3ta.com/challenge/dogalbums/


 >> New challenge: Teeth <<

 This week it's all about the gnashers,

 choppers, grills and Hampstead Heath. Brush up

 your old pictures and pull out some new ones.

 Show us your teeth and make us smile.

http://b3ta.com/challenge/teeth/



-------------------------------------------------


: SITES IN BRIEF

 Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates

 

 * Fascinating story about setting up a bogus

 health claim that "chocolate helps slim" to see

 if the media will bite. Spoiler: they do. They

 really REALLY do.

http://goo.gl/DKKL4h



 * An app that turns any part of your display

 into a playable level of Super Mario Bros.

 Finally.

http://aaronrandall.com/blog/screentendo



 * These stereotypes about white people remind

 us of National Lampoon's Vacation.

http://goo.gl/Fsa2HB



 * The ‪#‎paracetamolchallenge‬ is supposedly a

 'craze' of teenagers daring each other to take

 too much paracetomol. But Snopes is calling it

 out as bollocks along the lines of 'rainbow

 parties'.


 Their evidence? The supposed social media trend

 hasn't left much of a trace on social media.

 Looks like it was concocted by the papers.

http://m.snopes.com/2015/05/26/paracetamol-challenge/



 * Your Silicon Valley job title is...

 * Want some nice pixel-art gifs? Of course you do!

: VIDEO SCHMIDEO

 Like books without the hard reading bit


 * Servalan from Blake's 7 sings Pink Floyd

https://t.co/EHv4dO5RFe



 * Taylor Swift Rotoscoped - 49 Australian

 animation students were each given 52 frames of

 Taylor Swift's Shake it Off music video, and

 together they produced 2,767 frames of lovingly

 hand-drawn rotoscoped animation footage.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhT_gVh_73w



 * Alien remade with an office stapler

http://www.b3ta.com/links/Xenostapler

 than you

: WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?

 Follow-ups on previous stories


 * STRANGE MOANING ABOUT PISSING ON PLANTS:

 CONTINUED - krang writes, "Urine may be an

 excellent fertiliser, but don't use it on a pot

 plant. Especially one in a tiny bathroom which

 catches the sun in the evening. It smells like

 a cockroach's foreskin."

QUOTES & TOASTS of the DAY - Patriotic Toasts

"Here's to the Army and Navy, and the battles they have won. Here's to America's colors-- The colors that never run!"

"May the tree of liberty flourish round the globe, and every human being partake of its fruits."

"May noise never excite us to battle, or confusions reduce us to defeat."

"To her we drink, for her we pray, our voices silent never.
For her we'll fight -- let come what may, The Stars and Stripes forever."

"Here's to the Army and Navy, and the battles they have won. Here's to America's colors-- The colors that never run!"

"May the tree of liberty flourish round the globe, and every human being partake of its fruits."

"May noise never excite us to battle, or confusions reduce us to defeat."

"Soldiers have many faults, but they have one redeeming merit; they are never worshippers of force. Soldiers more than any other men are taught severely and systematically that might is not right. The fact is obvious. The might is in the hundred men who obey. The right (or what is held to be right) is in the one man who commands them." - Gilbert K. Chesterton

"The nation which forgets its defenders will be itself forgotten." - Calvin Coolidge

"An army of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep." - Arabian Proverb

Today's Featured Humor : -) - EULOGY FOR A VETERAN



Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.


I am the Gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the mornings hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush of
quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

 Lipstick 'massager'


 Do you get embarrassed carrying a dildo or

 vibrator all day? Then why not buy one

 disguised as a lipstick? They're dirt cheap

 (less than £3) and er...

 

 To be honest we have no idea but, if you do buy

 one, get in touch and tell us how it works out.

 We're just simply amused that the damn things

 exist.

-------------------------------------------------


: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS WEEK

 Other than making poo and wee


 >> Where were the people who didn't vote? <<

 "What about the other millions of people who

 didn't vote in the General Election?" inquires,

 er, 'Tony Stark'. "A covert team went out on the

 day and captured where people went instead of

 the polling stations." The results will SHOCK*

 you.

https://youtu.be/hhM-eDqRaew



 >> 'Say no to gluten' rap <<

 "Here's a song about the evils of wheat-based

 life," evangelises Dave WALLOP, "And the merits

 of going Gluten Free." It's worryingly catchy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfxpNB5JhMg



 >> Boardgame about worshipping a holy chicken <<

 "Remember War on Terror: the boardgame?"

 prompts Tarka_the_Frotter.  "Well I've made a

 new game and this one's about religion.


 "In this one, you get to create your own

 religion, around the worship of a holy chicken.

 It's called The Hen Commandments."

: B3TA IMAGE CHALLENGE

 Results from the 'Fingers' challenge


 Last week asked to see your fingers, because

 weird, flexible, gristle-and-bone-filled

 sausages are our thing.

 Your favourites included:


 * Quo: Rick and Francis classic pose recreated

 in paint and digits. (HappyToast)

http://b3ta.com/board/11150688


 * Handtler: the fuhrer finger.

(collapsibletank)

http://b3ta.com/board/11150730


 * Duel: a very painful looking falling out.

(Flash Bastard)

http://b3ta.com/board/11151125

 

 All these images, and a load more can be

 found here:

http://b3ta.com/challenge/fingers/


 >> New challenge: Fingers <<

 This week we're running down the canine hit

 parade. Show us the albums (and singles) that

 make dogs wag their tails. From Pink Floyd's

 'Bark Side of the Moon' to Run DMC's 'Walkies

 This Way'.

http://b3ta.com/challenge/dogalbums/



-------------------------------------------------


: SITES IN BRIEF

 Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates

 

 * FROTTAGE INTERVIEW - interview with a guy who

 rubs himself against strangers on the Tube.

 Er... Stop doing that!

http://goo.gl/jhQzus



 * FASCINATING HIDDEN GAME - for two years no

 one noticed the weird extra bit in a Kanye West

 RPG. Spooky.

http://goo.gl/NOMVhh



 * MAD MEN 2.0 - what if you nicked gifs of Mad

 Men and pretended they were talking about

 modern web advertising? You'd make us

 depressed. That's what.

http://madmenintegrated.tumblr.com/


 

 * WAR ON DAILY MAIL - There's a bot on Reddit

 that screengrabs Daily Mail stories so you can

 read them without contributing to their clicks.

http://www.reddit.com/user/DailMail_Bot



* FOUR LOL FOUR - this 404 page made us stare

for two seconds then roll our eyes SO HARD.

http://www.reddogmusic.co.uk/404pagenotfound



 * BLAKE'S 7 EBAY SALE - Blimey! You can buy the

 original Liberator ship from Blake's 7 on eBay.

 Not sure we'd pay £33,000 for it, mind.

: TWO BITS OF PROOF THAT THE INTERNET IS

 Officially uncool now


 1. Some shitty airline company has made a long,

 boring video full of dank, old memes. It's hard

 to watch and makes us wish we were into CB

 radios instead.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vttuonfu2BM



 2. We don't understand how anyone can celebrate

 10 years of YouTube when it's used to propagate

 Jamie Oliver rapping. Jesus wept! Close YouTube

 NOW.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ug_vpIk1jc



-------------------------------------------------


: VIDEO SCHMIDEO

 Animated jpeg sequences with sequenced audio


 * SELFIE DRONE - You know how every Kickstarter

 is shit? Well so is this - some kind of drone

 selfie machine. Awful. Everyone associated with

 this should be killed. By drones.

https://www.lily.camera/



 * FARTY MUSIC - so this guy recorded his fart,

 noticed it was a "major seventh arpeggio in B

 flat" and recorded a whole tune around it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk-5RVMerfI



 * JUST A PARROT... having a bit of a shout into

 a cup. We've all done it. Actually we have, and

 so have you.

http://www.b3ta.com/links/1305030/



 * HEARING TEST - here's a short, mean comedy

 video that perfectly demonstrates the 'rule of

 three'.

http://www.b3ta.com/links/Hearing_Test



 * CARDBOARD AEROPLANE - it's the joyous

 laughter that makes this short video such a

 delight.

http://www.b3ta.com/links/1305529/



 * JEREMY CLARKSON REVIEWS AMSTRAD COMPUTER

 GAMES - Did you know... just before he got his

 gig presenting Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson was a

 video game journalist/reviewer?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biGN6EP5Klg
