: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS WEEK
Pipes, Candles & P Diddy

>> Prince Charles Pipes <<
"Charlie loves a big organ," double entendres
Swede Mason. The more you listen to this track,
the weirder Charles sounds - and the more common
the next voice you hear, including your own.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Pipes

>> Candle puzzle <<
What happens when you burn the candle at both
ends? Any ideas? "A nice puzzle that you can
easily set up yourself with a candle and a few
bits and bobs," writes Nicholas Harrigan. This
level of infectious enthusiasm is impossible to
fake.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Candle_puzzle

>> P Diddy appreciates... <<
A sophisticated guy, Diddy deserves this
automated tumblr to document his varied tastes.
"Today P Diddy is appreciating something
delicious, but probably unlikely," informs
shardcore.
http://diddyappreciates.tumblr.com/post/40675279169

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

: AMAZON TAT
The shit they sell and the reviews you write

* MOBILE PHONE FLASK - if you're an alcoholic
who wants to put a kick in your pint then why
not buy a flask in the style of an old Nokia
phone? Classy.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B007MP01X2/b3ta-21

* COMMUNION WAFERS BOX OF 1,000 - this for the
trollish reviews, "These little beauties are
perfect for the dieter. Order several boxes of
Jesus, and He'll help you out with that
unsightly double chin, just as you prayed!"
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0805470859/b3ta-21

* PhD "LOLS" - Imagine the giggling oceanography
academics who got to name this book:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0444415742/b3ta-21

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

: QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Saying the unsayable

Last week we wanted to know when you'd been
forced to say what everyone thinks, but isn't
saying. Because you are all such gentle flowers:
http://b3ta.com/questions/sayingtheunsayable/

* "Careful Where You Stand" - "Bloke I used to
work with ponged a bit and, as the only other
man in the office, I was nominated to find a
quiet moment: 'Adam, sorry to say it, but your
feet really smell bad.' A:'I think that's my
trousers, actually.' 'Oh, right. Well your
trousers smell bad then.' A:'They would, I've
been wearing them for about a month.' 'Would you
consider changing them, then?' A:'Alright. I'll
wear a fresh pair tomorrow.' 'OK, good. Because
people have noticed and there's been a few
complaints from the girls. And it is fair
enough, to be honest.' A:'I don't really care
what the girls think. Some of them are quite
bitchy.' Me:'In what way?' A:'They keep saying I
smell.'" (SnowyTheRabbit)

* "A Message" - "I had a long train journey down
to London with the boyfriend. We'd just settled
down in our reserved seats when I started to
realise someone in the carriage had really bad
B.O. It was quite a quiet train and not wanting
to offend anybody, I wasn't sure how to suggest
to my boyfriend that I thought we should move as
it stank. I was sure he could smell the
offending odour. I hit upon a brainwave: I'll
write it on my phone and show him. I quickly
typed out, 'Stinks in here. Someone has bad B.O.
Shall we move carriages?' and showed him. This
is the point when he said in a rather loud voice
'BO?' (pronouncing it BO as in BO' Selecta)
'What's BO? Who has BO?', at which point I went
bright red and slid far, far down into my train
seat..." (tiddlywink)

* "Warning Sign" - "I quite like Coldplay. Whew,
it's a relief to finally get that off my chest."
(moon monkey)

>> This Week - SORRY <<
With Tesco taking out full page adverts to
apologise for selling us ponyburgers, now is the
time for us all to say Sorry. Write a letter of
apology to someone who deserves it here:
http://b3ta.com/questions/sorry/

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

: SITES IN BRIEF
Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates

>> Major scaled <<
Classic songs, digitally reworked from minor key
to major. Inappropriately cheery.
http://vimeo.com/majorscaledtv

>> The Cold War dollhouse <<
Marketed during the Cuban Missile Crisis of
1962, this children's toy has a slightly
heart-wrenching faithfulness to reality.
http://bit.ly/WmTi3m

>> Parcel for Mr. Assange <<
Interesting experiment - mailing a remote camera
to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, documenting
every step of the journey. How many levels of
security does Assange's post have to pass
through? Will the camera make it to the man
himself?
http://archive.is/lIwe8

>> Game developers' hidden messages <<
Data hidden in the ROM of retro computer games;
like a time capsule of young programmers
bragging, birth announcements, complaints and
office gossip from 20 years ago. Genuinely
fascinating.
http://bit.ly/ZRkWuO

>> Death Row meals <<
Photographer recreates prisoners' final meals in
his apartment. Morbidly fascinating. Is there so
much fried food because it's comforting or
because you can finally stop worrying about your
cholesterol?
http://bit.ly/VluCd9

>> WTF Evolution? <<
Tumblr blog takes nature to task, with examples
of its questionable taste and competence. Yeah!
Stick it to the man!
http://wtfevolution.tumblr.com/

>> Waxy melt-groin tights <<
Pretty much what it says in the title; these
leggings make it look as if you're dripping wax
down your thighs. Fashion, huh?
http://bit.ly/ScC62G

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

: VIDEO SCHMIDEO
Like TV but w/o the Julie Burchill lynch mob

* MOON HOAX REBUTTAL - Although the author has
no way of knowing if anyone has been to the
Moon, he knows that in 1969 they couldn't have
faked the video. Worth sticking around for the
final point at the end.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGXTF6bs1IU

* EXTREME SPORTS KITTENS - GoPro seem quite
voguish at the moment; a sports camera that can
be attached to anything. Last week it was a
trombone and this week it's playing with
kittens. Now stick one on your tummy and film a
FPS where the weapon is a penis.
http://bit.ly/Vb4BQy

* LIVE-ACTION SHOT-BY-SHOT RECREATION OF TOY
STORY - simply extraordinary level of work and
what a way to really get a hang of film making.
(We recommend 17:30 as a timestamp.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5G0j_Huv2Fg

* I'M A DOG AND I LIKE SOCKS - metal and
ridiculous lyrics - reminds us of something
Andrew WK might have written.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Im_a_dog_and_I_like_socks

* TRUST FAIL - fall and I'll catch you. Oh.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Trust_Fall

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

: FRIDAY GAME
Physics Pacman

Wouldn't normally link to a downloady game but
the idea is so neat - a version of Pacman where
you rotate the maze and drop him onto the
ghosts. Watch the video:

Electricity can be dangerous. My nephew tried to stick a penny into a plug. Whoever said a penny doesn't go far didn't see it shoot across that floor. I told him he was grounded. - Tim Allen

Men do not like to admit to even momentary imperfection. My husband forgot the code to turn off the alarm. When the police came, he wouldn't admit he'd forgotten the code.....he turned himself in. - Rita Rudner

If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten. - George Carlin

We have women in the military, but they don't put us in the front lines. They don't know if we can fight, if we can kill. I think we can. All the general has to do is walk over to the women and say, "You see the enemy over there? They say you look fat in those uniforms." - Elayne Boosler

==================================

Today's Featured Humor : -) - Strange Numbers Fun - Calculate Your Birth Number - Find Out Who You Are Like!

Your Birth Number
Birth Number is considered to be the most powerful tool within numerology to calculate the destiny of an individual.The importance of birth numbers have been recognized since the earliest civilizations. Birth number is evolved from the date of birth of an individual.


Example: March 20, 1950
3 + 20 + 1950 = 1973 = 1 + 9 + 7 + 3 = 20 = 2 + 0 = 2
2 is the Birth Number to read for the birth date in the example.


#1 THE ORIGINATOR
#2 THE PEACEMAKER
#3 THE LIFE OF THE PARTY
#4 THE CONSERVATIVE
#5 THE NONCONFORMIST
#6 THE ROMANTIC
#7 THE INTELLECTUAL
#8 THE BIG SHOT
#9 THE PERFORMER



#1 - THE ORIGINATOR

1s are originals - Coming up with new ideas and executing them is natural. Having things their own way is another trait that gets them as being stubborn and arrogant. 1s are extremely honest and do well to learn some diplomacy skills. They like to take the initiative and are often leaders or bosses, as they like to be the best. Being self-employed is definitely helpful for them.... Lesson to learn: Others' ideas might be just as good or better and to stay open minded.

Famous 1s: Tom Hanks, Robert Redbird, Hulk Logan, Carol Burnet, Wynn Judd, Nancy Reagan, Raquel Welsh.

# 2 - THE PEACEMAKER

2s are the born diplomats. They are aware of others' needs and moods and often think of others before themselves. Naturally analytical and very intuitive they don't like to be alone. Friendship and companionship is very important and can lead them to be successful in life, but on the other hand they'd rather be alone than in an uncomfortable relationship. Being naturally shy they should learn to boost their self-esteem and express themselves freely and seize the moment and not put things off.

Famous 2s: President Bill Clinton, Madonna, Whoopee Goldberg, Thomas Edison, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

# 3 - THE LIFE OF THE PARTY

3s are idealists. They are very creative, social, charming, romantic, and easygoing. They start many things, but don't always see them through. They like others to be happy and go to great lengths to achieve it. They are very popular and idealistic. They should learn to see the world from a more realistic point of view.

Famous 3s: Alan Alda, Ann Landers, Bill Cosby, Melanie Griffith, Salvador Dali, Jodi Foster.

# 4 - THE CONSERVATIVE

4s are sensible and traditional. They like order and routine. They only act when they fully understand what they are expected to do. They like getting their hands dirty and working hard. They are attracted to the outdoors and feel an affinity with nature. They are prepared to wait and can be stubborn and persistent. They should learn to be more flexible and to be nice to themselves.

Famous 4s: Neil Diamond, Margaret Thatcher, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tina Turner, Paul Hogan, Oprah Winfrey

# 5 - THE NONCONFORMIST

5s are the explorers. Their natural curiosity, risk taking, and enthusiasm often land them in hot water. They need diversity, and don't like to be stuck in a rut. The whole world is their school and they see a learning possibility in every situation. The questions never stop. They are well advised to look before they take action and make sure they have all the facts before jumping to conclusions.

Famous 5s: Abraham Lincoln, Charlotte Bronte, Jessica Walter, Vincent Van Gogh, Bette Midler, Helen Keller and Mark Hamil.

# 6 - THE ROMANTIC

6s are idealistic and need to feel useful to be happy. A strong family connection is important to them. Their emotions influence their decisions. They have a strong urge to take care of others and to help. They are very loyal and make great teachers. They like art or music. They make loyal friends who take the friendship seriously. 6s should learn to differentiate between what they can change and what they cannot.

Famous 6s: Albert Einstein, Jane Seymour, John Denver, Meryl Streep, Christopher Columbus, Goldie Hawn.

# 7 - THE INTELLECTUAL

7s are the searchers. Always probing for hidden information, they find it difficult to accept things at face value. Emotions don't sway their decisions. Questioning everything in life, they don't like to be questioned themselves. They're never off to a fast start, and their motto is slow and steady wins the race. They come across as philosophers and being very knowledgeable, and sometimes as loners. They are technically inclined and make great researchers uncovering information. They like secrets. They live in their own world and should learn what is acceptable and what not in the world at large.

Famous 7s: William Shakespeare, Lucille Ball, Michael Jackson, Joan Baez, Princess Diana.

# 8 - THE BIG SHOT

8s are the problem solvers. They are professional, blunt and to the point, have good judgment and are decisive. They have grand plans and like to live the good life. They take charge of people. They view people objectively. They let you know in no uncertain terms that they are the boss. They should learn to exude their decisions on their own needs rather than on what others want.

Famous 8s: Edgar Cayce, Barbra Streisand, George Harrison, Jane Fonda, Pablo Picasso, Aretha Franklin, Nostrodamus.

#9 - THE PERFORMER

9s are natural entertainers. They are very caring and generous, giving away their last dollar to help. With their charm, they have no problem making friends and nobody is a stranger to them. They have so many different personalities that people around them have a hard time understanding them. They are like chameleons, ever changing and blending in. They have tremendous luck, but also can suffer from extremes in fortune and mood. To be successful, they need to build a loving foundation.
Famous 9s: Albert Schweitzer, Shirley MacLaine, Harrison Ford, Jimmy Carter, Elvis Presley.

#11 THE INTUITIVE

Famous Personalities with number 22: Leonard DeVinci, Margaret Thatcher, Paul McCartney

Great "Food" Quotes

A gourmet who thinks of calories is like a tart who looks at her watch. - James A. Beard

Avoid fruits and nuts. You are what you eat. - Jim Davis (Garfield)

If the people have no bread, let them eat cake. - (attributed to) Marie Antoinette

I prefer Hostess fruit pies to pop-up toaster tarts because they don't require as much cooking. - Carrie Snow

The first electronic mail, or "email", was sent in 1972 by Ray Tomlinson. It was also his idea to use the @ sign to separate the name of the user from the name of the computer.

Queen Elizabeth of Britain sent her first email in 1976.

In 1889, Kansas undertaker Almon B. Strowger wanted to prevent telephone operators from advising his rivals of the death of local citizens. So he invented the automatic exchange.

Strange Quotes About the Media:

News is what somebody somewhere wants to suppress; all the rest is advertising. (Lord Northcliffe)

You can fool all of the people all of the time if the advertising is right and the budget is big enough. (Joseph E. Levine)

Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some hire public relations officers. (Daniel J. Boorstin)

There's no such thing as bad publicity except your own obituary. (Brendan Behan)

In the future everybody will be world famous for fifteen minutes. (Andy Warhol)

Small earthquake in Chile. Not many dead. (Claud Cockburn, winning entry for a dullest headline competition at the Times)

==================================

Today's Featured Humor : -) - - Senior Personal Ads


Some "Senior" personal ads seen in Florida newspapers:
(Who says seniors don't have a sense of humor?)

FOXY LADY: Sexy, fashion-conscious blue-haired beauty, 80's, slim, 5'4" (used to be 5'6"), searching for sharp-looking, sharp-dressing companion. Matching white shoes and belt a plus.

LONG-TERM COMMITMENT: Recent widow who has just buried fourth husband, and am looking for someone to round out a six-unit plot. Dizziness, fainting, shortness of breath not a problem.

SERENITY NOW: I am into solitude, long walks, sunrises, the ocean, yoga and meditation. If you are the silent type, let's get together, take our hearing aids out and enjoy quiet times.

WINNING SMILE: Active grandmother with original teeth seeking a dedicated flosser to share rare steaks, corn on the cob and caramel candy.

BEATLES OR STONES? I still like to rock, still like to cruise in my Camaro on Saturday nights and still like to play the guitar. If you were a groovy chick, or are now a groovy hen, let's get together and listen to my eight-track tapes.

MEMORIES: I can usually remember Monday through Thursday. If you can remember Friday, Saturday and Sunday, let's put our two heads together.

MINT CONDITION: Male, 1932, high mileage, good condition, some hair, many new parts including hip, knee, cornea, valves. Isn't in running condition, but walks well.

Buy a Raspberry Pi

When we don't sell an ad we like to link
something we've recently bought: we entertained
ourselves over Xmas with the much trumpeted
Raspberry Pi, the £30 linux computer. Worried it
might be inconvenient to plug into a TV but
happily you can just plug it into your router
then connect via SSH and setup a VNC server,
thus using a laptop as your display/input.
Definitely worth the trivial amount of money it
costs to get a new toy to play with. Also fun to
be exposed to the drag and drag games
programming language Sketch which we previously
hadn't heard of but is an doddle to use. Thumbs
up - would buy again.

: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS WEEK

>> Barley Says <<
"I made this short but informative Public
Information Film for 'Mashed'," writes mozza of
this charming public information film.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Barley_Says

BTW: Mashed featured lots of B3tan content, you
can still watch it via the C4 site:
http://www.channel4.com/programmes/2012-mashed/4od

>> Is it still okay for "happy new year"? <<
"Every year I get sick of people wishing 'Happy
New Year' long after it's still OK to do so,"
complains Dave Birss. "So I made a reference
site where people can check if it's still OK to
do so. The content changes throughout January,
getting more tetchy by the day."
http://godd.am/newyear/

>> iEye <<
Sheep! premieres "the visual enhancement system
that fits in your own eyeball." Life looking
gloomy? Magic shiny make it all better.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/iEye

>> How to brother-proof a Christmas card <<
"When we were younger, my brother and I had a
game of `brother-proofing' each other's cards,"
writes madsporkmurderer. "This consisted of
covering the envelope with as much tape as we
could. This year I decided to revive this game.
However, I'm now a much larger child, with a
welder and too much free time.

: QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Relief

Ages back, before presentfest 2012, we asked for
stories of things that turned out less grim than
you at first thought:
http://b3ta.com/questions/qotwrelief/

* LUMP - "Lying in bed one Saturday morning
feeling somewhat worse for wear after a
particularly heavy night's drinking, I went for
a lazy scratch of my nether regions. I was
horrified to discover a growth on my scrotum.
All sorts of terrible thoughts went through my
head... thoughts which soon dissipated when I
discovered that the "growth" was a fried egg
Haribo which had somehow adhered itself to my
ballbag." (mirodo)

* LOFT - "My wife was due to have a baby middle
of next month. 5am yesterday morning she started
making 'having a baby' noises. I said I should
call an ambulance. "Don't be stupid, I'm not
going to have the baby here." My two year old
wakes up and comes to see what's going on. More
screaming and I call the ambulance. The 999 man
starts talking me through how to deliver a baby.
"Please, just send the ambulance." "Now, can you
see the head yet sir?" "No, can you please send
the ambulance?" Two year old wants to play
giraffes. Relief #1 was the ambulance crew
huffing and puffing up the stairs. Relief #2 was
the baby crying, successfully delivered by a
totally unphased ambulance man. Slightly strange
Monty Python aspect was the other ambulance
people asking me who did my loft conversion
while the baby was half out. "They done a lovely
job sir. Can I ask you what you paid?" (browser)

* LOST - "Waiting at the bus stop with my son,
then 2, a wee friend of his and the friend's
mother. I got a bit distracted checking bus
times, looking out change and so on when, to my
utter horror, I realised that The Boy had
vanished from sight. Not in the bus stop. Not on
the pavement. Not on the road. Crowds of people
around. Ohshitohshitohshitohshitohshit. His
friend's mother saw the panic in my eyes, saw me
looking frantically around and asked me what was
wrong. "Where's the Geeklet?", I asked,
urgently. She gave me an odd look. "Still
sitting on your shoulders", she replied."
(ubergeekian)

>> This Week - DUMPED <<
Dumpee, dumper or still not sure what happened
and hoping that one day the hurt will subside so
that you can leave the house? Tell us all:
http://b3ta.com/questions/dumped/

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

: SITES IN BRIEF
Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates

>> Favourite book covers <<
The New York Times got 20 designers to pick
their favourite book cover and explain why - the
results are genuinely interesting.
http://nyti.ms/UnJWZa

>> London's top Twitter names <<
Geo-tagged tweets laid out on top of a London
map, to find the city's most popular Twitter
surnames with locations. Disappointingly low on
Hitlers.
http://bit.ly/X2PhCd

>> Javascript Amiga <<
If you are a nerd of a certain age, those two
words are all it will have taken for you to race
off down the linky superhighway. If you are
still here, don't worry; perhaps a
Javascript/HTML Amiga emulator is not for you.

problems that bother we lucky denizens of the
British Isles.

A look at those old tech ads that's both funny
at how crap they are and insightful about the
story we were being told. "We bought it to help
with our homework and the household account"
indeed.

>> Dr Who Theme in odd, retro style <<
The Dr Who theme comes courtesy of Damont
Records' "TV Favourites and other childrens
songs" 1975. Synthtastic.

>> Van Goghtical illusion <<
Stare at the moving pattern; stare at the swirly
picture; feel as if you're losing your mind; cut
off your ear and mail it to a prostitute.

>> Hollywood Snopes <<
Great little read about some of the urban
legends that hang around movie studios.

: VIDEO SCHMIDEO
Like iPlayer but with no Spinal Tap easter egg

>> Uncorrected personality traits <<
Robyn Hitchcock sings a message that'll make any
parent have an anxiety attack. Not sure if this
meant to be comedy or not but compelling
nonetheless. WIKIPEDIA FACT: Robyn's dad wrote
the film 'Percy' a brit-sexplotation flick about
a penis transplant.

>> Attenborough sounds like a rudeboy <<
Good to see David Attenborough keeping up with
contemporary slang.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsSbHFPybzk

>> World's most useless machine <<
Useless but we reckon they'd sell like hot sex.
If you make the mechanical hand into a kitten's
paw.

>> Testing for electrostatic discharge <<
Health & Safety video with memorable pay-off.

: FRIDAY GAME
Guess the word

As kids we used to play a guess the number game
- player 1 thinks of a number, player 2 guesses,
player 1 says higher or lower. We're kicking
ourselves that we didn't think of applying this
model to words. This version is almost great but
needs a smaller dictionary without obscure words
in it and a better interface.

: 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:

* UNFAIR DEATHS - make a game with each level
being an utterly unfair death that happens in 3
seconds of starting.

* AMAZON TROLLING - evil project idea.
Systematically write backhanded compliment reviews
on Amazon. "The spelling is quite good."

* VIDS - savage^ writes, "Turbulent aeroplane
movie footage fed through software to steady the
image, so we can see the actors wobble their
heads about all funny."

==================================

Strange Animal Quotes:

I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals. ~Winston Churchill

Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms. ~George Eliot

You enter into a certain amount of madness when you marry a person with pets. ~Nora Ephron

An animal's eyes have the power to speak a great language. ~Martin Buber

Lots of people talk to animals.... Not very many listen, though.... That's the problem. ~Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh

The scientific name for an animal that doesn't either run from or fight its enemies is lunch. - Michael Friedman

I had a linguistics professor who said that it's man's ability to use language that makes him the dominant species on the planet. That may be. But I think there's another thing that separates us from animals. We aren't afraid of vacuum cleaners. - Jeff Stilson

==================================

Today's Featured Humor : -) - - How Many Dogs Does it Take to Change Light Bulb?

1. Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb?

2. Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.

3. Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!

4. Rottweiler: Make me.

5. Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.

6. Lab: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I?
Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeeze, please, please, please!

7. German Shepherd: I'll change it as soon as I've led these people from the dark, check to make sure I haven't missed any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation.

8. Jack Russell Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture.

9. Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a light bulb!

10. Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.

11. Chihuahua: Yo quiero Taco Bulb.

12. Pointer: I see it, there it is, there it is, right there.....

13. Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares?

14. Australian Shepherd: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle...

15. Poodle: I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it.
By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.

The Cat's Answer: "Dogs do not change light bulbs. People change light bulbs. So, the real question is: How long will it be before I can expect some light, some dinner, and a massage?"
ALL OF WHICH PROVES, ONCE AGAIN, THAT WHILE DOGS HAVE MASTERS, CATS HAVE STAFF.
