The most affectionate creature in the world is a wet dog. - Ambrose Bierce

Talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand. - Anonymous

Too often, the opportunity knocks, but by the time you push back the chain, push back the bolt, unhook the two locks and shut off the burglar alarm, it's too late. - Rita Coolidge

The difference between being in a relationship and being in prison is that in prisons they let you play softball on the weekends. - Bobby Kelton

Today's Featured Humor : -) - - What Religion is Your Bra?

What Religion is your Bra?

Subject: what religion is your bra?

A man walked into the ladies department of a Macy's and shyly walked up to the woman behind the counter and said, "I'd like to buy a bra for my wife."

"What type of bra?" asked the clerk.

"Type?" inquires the man, "Is there more than one type?"

"Look around," said the saleslady, as she showed a sea of bras in every shape, size, color and material imaginable.

"Actually, even with all of this variety, there are really only four types of bras to chose from."

Relieved, the man asked about the types.

The saleslady replied, "There are the Catholic, the Salvation Army, the Presbyterian, and the Baptist types. Which one would you prefer?"

Now befuddled, the man asked about the difference between them.

The saleslady responded, "It is really quite simple.

The Catholic type supports the masses.

The Salvation Army type lifts the fallen.

The Presbyterian type keeps them staunch and upright,

and

The Baptist type makes mountains out of molehills."

: SPONSORED LINK
Kobo ereader

After leaving our kindle on the bus we got a
bit depressed. Then we found that you could get
a Kobo for around £30. It's not as good as a
Kindle, but it does basically do the job and
you won't feel upset when you lose it. Also it
plays Sudoku, which is better than reading
anyway.

>> Sponsor B3ta <<
Want this space? Then talk to us.
http://b3ta.com/mailus/

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

: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS WEEK

>> The Haunting Secret of London Bridge <<
"I'm continuing my slightly odd series about
London," intones DefyingDarwin. File under
'disturbing lies to tell tourists'.
http://bit.ly/15k43tQ

>> Graham Murkett DIY comedy masterclass <<
Slow-talking comedy guru somegreybloke teaches
us how to entertain, in the absence of
professionally-crafted comedy. Let's hope it
never comes to that.
http://b3ta.com/links/1027388

>> How can you live with yourself? <<
The answer, according to Black Moon and Clone
Black Moon, is "it can get annoying" because of
your inconsiderate doppelganger.
http://b3ta.com/links/Living_with_yourself

>> Plasticine Carnage! <<
"War, HUH! Good God y'all, What is it good for?
(absolutely nothin')" shouts handymartian.
"Here is an animation I made. It's a
stop-motion-tastic, all out battle between two
arch rivals on Planet Six."
http://b3ta.com/links/Plasticine_Carnage

>> "Cursery rhymes" <<
"My friend and I decided that the overall moral
of the Gruffalo was that you could lie your way
out of any situation, and that this wasn't a
very good lesson to teach a young child," writes
Furness. "This lead to a bet being made that I
couldn't write one. I wrote six." NSFW.

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

: QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Yum!

We wanted the best thing you'd eaten. We got
your attempts at recreating junk food:
http://b3ta.com/questions/foodporn/

Here are our top three incomprehensible dishes:

* Purple sweet potato and bits of rehydrated
glutinous rice with hoi sin sauce and some
peanut butter - if anything it looked worse
when I mixed it up. (Zuowan)
http://bit.ly/1aJh30h

* The KFC Double-down - so bad you have to
ask for it specially. (Airman Gabber)
http://www.b3ta.com/questions/foodporn/post2005157

* The Meatenburg Cake (riverghost)
http://www.b3ta.com/questions/foodporn/post2001483

>> This Week - LUCKY ESCAPES <<
Come close to death, serious injury or Simon
Cowell, but got away? Tell us about your lucky
escapes:
http://b3ta.com/questions/browntrousers/

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

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

>> Pretend your monitor is a tank at Sea World <<
Relaxingly pointless waste of time - killer
whale swims after your mouse.
http://bit.ly/1bS8MTY

>> Strange but true: Tron on an Apple ii <<
Novice programmers accidentally create a game
character that can actually escape into the
computer's memory. True story, by the way, so
it doesn't exactly launch World War III.
http://bit.ly/3xAGvp

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

: VIDEO SCHMIDEO
Look again, the LOLs are just tiny squares

>> Titanic translated into Japanese and then back <<
The great romance film of our times is parsed
through a crappy online translator and then
re-enacted by amateurs. Extremely moving.
‏http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ds2Ai6HAo7Y

>> Dog pushing along another dog <<
No, they aren't having sex - why would your
mind even go there?? This is absolutely
adorable and involves a tiny toy shopping
trolley. D'aww.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Ah_Bless

>> Exceptionally awkward phone prank <<
Genuinely cringe-making, as a guy is tricked
into explaining his porn collection to his mom
- extraordinary stuff.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ul4Wympi3I

>> Bubble football <<
This is the kind of football we can get behind
- everybody enclosed in huge, transparent
bubbles, so we don't get our teeth accidentally
kicked out by someone far too sporty.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/My_kind_of_football

>> History of film aspect ratio <<
Interesting jaunt through film geekery,
examining why today's movies look the way they
do.

: WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
Follow-ups on previous stories.

* SHED OF THE YEAR ANNOUNCED - "It's the
Boat-Roofed Shed," confides shed supremo Wilco,
and it really is a sight to behold.
http://bit.ly/1cTMeTl

* BIONIC EAR FINAL UPDATE - "I've had a bionic
ear for 7 or 8 months now," writes long-time
correspondent helmsdeep. "I've put up what will
probably be my last update up. It feels good to
reach the end of this particular journey.
Thanks for being nice about the blog, and
thanks for reading and commenting. Take care of
yourselves and each other."
http://bit.ly/16T01Ie

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

: 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:

* SET AND FORGET HAIR - getting a haircut is
very dull. Why can't we just set a hair
preference on a dial implanted at the side of
our skulls and save 30 minutes every five weeks?

* MEDICAL SCIENCE TO RECOGNISE THAT SOME PEOPLE
SNEEZE IN SUNLIGHT - we're not crazy, it's an
actual thing, mister so-called "doctor". And
it's very serious.

* A NEW KIND OF DELICIOUS UNHEALTHINESS - we
are tired of pork and cheese, does this mean
we're tired of life?

Send contributions via the mail form.
http://www.b3ta.com/mailus/

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. Sometimes,
admittedly, with one hand over our eyes.

Today's Featured Humor : -) - Time line for Independence Day July 4th

Benjamin Franklin

1774 - The 13 colonies send delegates to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to form the First Continental Congress. While unrest was brewing, the colonies were far from ready to declare war.

April 1775 - King George's troops advance on Concord, Massachusetts, prompting Paul Revere's midnight ride that sounded the alarm: "The British are coming, the British are coming." Thus began the American Revolution at the battle of Concord.

May 1776 - After nearly a year of trying to settle their differences with England, the colonies, once again, send delegates to the Second Continental Congress.

June 1776 - Admitting that their efforts were hopeless, a committee was formed to compose the formal Declaration of Independence. Headed by Thomas Jefferson, the committee also included John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Philip Livingston and Roger Sherman.

June 28, 1776 - Jefferson presents the first draft of the declaration to congress.

July 4, 1776 - After various changes to Jefferson's original draft, a vote was taken late in the afternoon of July 4th. Of the 13 colonies, 9 voted in favor of the Declaration; 2, Pennsylvania and South Carolina voted No; Delaware was undecided and New York abstained. John Hancock, President of the Continental Congress, was the first to sign the Declaration of Independence. It is said that he signed his name "with a great flourish" so "King George can read that without spectacles!"

July 6, 1776 - The Pennsylvania Evening Post is the first newspaper to print the Declaration of Independence.

July 8, 1776 - The first public reading of the declaration takes place in Philadelphia's Independence Square. The bell in Independence Hall, then known as the "Province Bell" would later be renamed the "Liberty Bell" after its inscription - "Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land Unto All the Inhabitants Thereof.Fourth of July"

August 1776 - The task begun on July 4, the signing of the Declaration of Independence, was not actually completed until August. Nonetheless, the 4th of July has been accepted as the official anniversary of United States independence from Britain.

July 4, 1777 - The first Independence Day celebration takes place. It's interesting to speculate what those first 4th festivities were like. By the early 1800's the traditions of parades, picnics, and fireworks were firmly established as part of American Independence Day culture.

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 : -) - How Many Scientists Does it Take to Change a Lightbulb?

How many scientists does it take to screw in a lightbulb

Q: How many scientists does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. They use them as controls in double blind trials.

Q: How many academics does it take to change a lightbulb ?
A: None. That is what their students are for. (from Philip Clarke in New Scientist)

A: Five: One to write the grant proposal, one to do the mathematical modeling, one to type the research paper, one to submit the paper for publishing, and one to hire a student to do the work.

Q: How many laboratory heads (senior researchers, etc.) does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: Five; one to change the lightbulb, the other four to stand around arguing whether he/she is taking the right approach.

Q: How many research technicians does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: One, but it'll probably take him/her three or four tries to get it right.

Q: How many post-doctoral fellows does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: One, but it'll probably take three or four tries to get it right because he/she will probably give it to the technician to do.

Q: How many graduate students does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Only one, but it may take upwards of five years for him to get it done.
A: It all depends on the size of the grant.
A: Two and a professor to take credit.
A: 1/100. A graduate student needs to change 100 lightbulbs a day.
A: I don't know, but make my stipend tax-free, give my adviser a $100,000 grant of the taxpayer's money, and I'm sure he can tell me how to do the work for him so he can take the credit for answering this incredibly vital question.

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

: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS WEEK
Other than making hay-fever snot

>> Jellytext <<
Our lovely chum ‏@mattround has been riffing on
the rubbish old text system we had on TVs before
the modern miracle of the Red Button.
http://mattround.com/jellytext/

>> Trippy Bloc Party video <<
"Finally", writes Mutated Monty AKA Cyriak, "I
got to make a video for a band I had actually
heard of!"
http://www.b3ta.com/links/video_I_made_for_Bloc_Party

>> Shapey Dave <<
"A kids' TV show we were trying to pitch,"
writes Weebl, "Any television types out there,
I'd love feedback about where we went wrong!"
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Shapey_Dave

>> I Love You So Hard Part 4 <<
"I love you so hard! I'd do anything for you!"
writes Joel Veitch. "Part 4 of a collaboration
between me and Butters. Our demented Lothario
continues his romantic quest to win the woman of
his dreams."
http://www.b3ta.com/links/I_Love_You_So_Hard_Part_4

>> Why we like cat videos <<
Somegreybloke mulls over the reasons why we love
to watch video of cute kittens cavorting on the
internet. Deep.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Why_we_like_cat_videos

>> A Summer Jam <<
"Produced on Werkbench, flower pots, snifter, and
drum machine," writes app producer karls. "At
least I think that is a snifter." Enjoyable
seeing music being produced this way, in front of
your eyes with impromptu samples.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/1023548

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

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

>> Exploding Actresses <<
Clips of actresses exploding. We shared this
link earlier in the week and got accused of
misogyny, but we feel this work is largely comic
and critical of Hollywood tropes rather than
hating women. Also, explosions = funny!
http://explodingactresses.tumblr.com/

>> WWII Pictures shot with Kodachrome <<
The "old stuff in colour" trope seldom fails to
entertain. It works because of our delusion that
the past was more different than we think. Yet
if you could speak to someone in 1940, their
feet would have the same aches and their noses
the same itches.
http://bit.ly/UYn3GA

>> Facebook competition fail <<
Fine example of corporate schadenfreude - a
concept so enjoyable that we could probably
start a Tumblr called that and have, ooh, 100
followers within a week. Yay.
http://bit.ly/16BgGQo

>> Useless everyday objects <<
Photoshops executed with a deadpan sensibility.
Sinks with no plugs. Reminds us of old racist
Irish jokes from the 70s about rubbish
inventions. Which we won't share as it's no
longer the 1970s, etc.
http://www.giuseppecolarusso.it/chi_siamo.html

>> Robert Downey Jr pin-ups <<
Extraordinary, inexplicable, unexpectedly
arousing. All things we could say about these
peculiar photoshops.
http://bit.ly/19GzkIq

>> The 90s button <<
Push in David Hasselhoff's face to dispense a
steady stream of 1990s music video hits.
http://the90sbutton.com/

>> Is there any point to the 12 times table? <<
Mathematical examination of why it's basically
pointless bothering to learn the 12 times table.
With graphs!

you regretted on the internet. A barrel of fish
meets a friendly shotgun here:
http://b3ta.com/questions/socialmediameltdowns/

* SYMPATHY - "My friend 'Rob' (which actually is
his name, I'm going for the double bluff)
suffered an unfortunate sequence of events that
led him to hint in a Facebook update that he was
going to kill himself. His girlfriend had left
him, his Crohn's was flaring like the sun, and,
worst of all, he was a Proper Ginga. Born that
way. The hints of suicide started about 2am,
grew steadily more blatant, and around 5am he
swallowed a mixture of massive and legal drugs,
and signed off with a quote. 'Goodbye, and
thanks for all the fish!' Amidst the worried
messages was this priceless gem: 'It's "So long,
and thanks for all the fish." Get it right.'"
(searlichek)

* PARANOIA - "I had someone ask me to remove a
picture I'd posted from a party once because you
could see their kid in the background. I thought
it was a bit weird but I obeyed. She then asked
me if I could make sure the photo had been
destroyed. I replied that they were being a bit
OTT and it was a digital photo anyway. She replied
and said, 'well send me the original digital
photo!' So I emailed it to her. Presumably she
deleted it..."
(SnowyTheRabbit)

* SPELIN - "I was in a LinkedIn group which was
otherwise worthy and businesslike except for one
contributor in Singapore. Most of her posts were
normal and to the point, but every once in a
while she'd her meds and start huge long caps-lock
rants about THE ARYANS! ARYANS! were monitoring
our actions, ARYANS! had superior technology,
ARYANS! were posing as human beings. This was a
bit much considering most of us in the group were
white middle-class Europeans. It took us a while
to realise that she was ranting rather phonetically
about ALIENS."

: VIDEO SCHMIDEO
Like TV but you know, somehow on the web

>> Smooth Criminal <<
Turns out the eastern religions were right - to
redress his karmic imbalance, Michael Jackson
has been reincarnated as a kitten.

>> Dancing Optical Illusion <<
Your mind will be boggled. Prepare for the
boggling.

>> Richard Dawkins LSD extravaganza <<
From the YT description: "Evolutionary biologist
Richard Dawkins introduces the Saatchi & Saatchi
New Directors' Showcase 2013 in Cannes and
spreads his memes." He does indeed. the true
madness begins at 4:45.

The "other" project some B3tans are running

* Pound coin rude word challenge - We've just
noticed that if you line up the letters on the
edges of pound coins you can make it spell out
rude words. Result.

* Morrissey reviewing singles in Smash Hits - In
1984 the editors of the legendary pop music
magazine invited Morrissey in to review the
singles. He did a fantastic job. Quotable,
bitchy and concise. It's like Morrissey invented
Twitter in the Eighties.
http://usvsth3m.com/post/54008306908/

* The Infinite Ed Miliband Slash Fiction
Generator. For reasons that are not entirely
clear even to us, we have made a website that
will generate explicit gay erotica about Labour
leader Ed Miliband. NSFW.

We do a daily email of this shit - sign up.
