STRANGE BRIDGES AROUND THE WORLD
==================================

Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open. - Elmer G. Letterman
A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents. - Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742 - 1799)
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.

George Osborne and his hand of death
This photo appeared during the election and for

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

: 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.
* 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.
* 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/

Like books without the hard reading bit
* Servalan from Blake's 7 sings Pink Floyd
* 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.

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.

[b3ta] Why is it called a cheeky Nando's? Because you're eating chicken's arseholes
This Week:
* JEREMY CLARKSON - reviews games
* MAD MEN - for the internet age
* A PARROT - shouting into a little cup

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.
>> '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!
* FASCINATING HIDDEN GAME - for two years no
one noticed the weird extra bit in a Kanye West
RPG. Spooky.
* 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.
* 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?

you, the public, get to choose the ultimate
shed winner.

lot of love and hard work put in from the
sheddies," notes Ultimate Shed Overlord
unclewilco.
