LOL, the fuckin dumbass who made the site had the sample image linking

to nyah:

http://periodictable.com/Posters/Poster2.2000.low.JPG

So I just messed around with the URL, tried about a dozen permutations

until I found the largest version that they stupidly left on the

server. ^__^

Me, hacking, nah, that's just...uh...exploring, yes, that's it,

exploring. `, )

This is my favorite thing on the site so far:

http://periodictable.com/Items/ChocolateTin/index.html

: Fancy chocolate tin.

:

: This chocolate tin is a sign of the beginning of the end of good

: chocolate. It's a tin of Hershey's dark chocolate advertised as 65%

: cocoa. Promoting chocolate on the basis of its percentage of cocoa is

: an increasingly common marketing tactic, marred only by the fact that

: beyond about 50% more cocoa means worse chocolate. 99% chocolate,

: which is actually available, is basically impossible to eat.

:

: The force at work here is snobbery, and the need for something that

: tastes really bad to base the snobbery on. (Things that actually taste

: good are of no use to snobs, because anyone can appreciate them.)

: The same force is responsible for vast amounts of perfectly good grape

: juice being allowed to go sour and become wine. Basically, when you

: get right down to it, wine does not taste very good. But you can't

: show off how sophisticated you are by appreciating fine grape juice

: because pretty much everyone likes it. It tastes good. Wine, on the

: other hand, tastes bad, so if you go around claiming that you

: appreciate it at some higher level, and can in even tell the

: difference between minutely different varieties of it, you can appear

: refined and sophisticated to the naive who have not yet learned to

: pretend to like it.

:

: Chocolate used to be about tasting good: In this regard milk chocolate

: is obviously superior. Now all sorts of people turn their nose up at

: milk chocolate and sniff that they only consume fine dark chocolate.

: No less than 80% cocoa please. If you ask why they would want to eat

: that bitter crap suitable only for baking or mixing with milk to make

: an edible confection, they start talking about fruity aromas and what

: year the cocoa beans were harvested. Get the picture? They are

: chocolate snobs who, exactly like wine snobs, actually don't much like

: the stuff either, but prefer artificial superiority to genuine

: enjoyment.

:

: It's a sad day when this attitude infects even Hershey's, long the

: bastion of low-brow but good-tasting milk chocolate. How long will it

: be before there are whole stored dedicated to inedible dark chocolate

: sorted by vintage, while those seeking the simple pleasure of good

: chocolate have to turn to the back isles of the grocery store, next to

: the grape juice?

LOL, this was also interesting:

I want an aluminum penny!

Steel pennies are also neat:

I also like the element coins, thinkin I might start a collection.

This is neat too:

Mmmm...titanium coins.

I like this too:

http://periodictable.com/Elements/065/index.html

It's the stuff they use in those SoundBugs or those old BoneFones from

the 80s, that generate sound through a solid object rather than the

air. Advertising researchers have been experimenting with ways of

making sort of "whispering windows" to try and get customers to buy

stuff. Basically they hook one up to the window of a shop and as you

walk by you'll hear a voice or music urging you to come in and spend

your money. Kind of a partial subliminal form of advertisement.

Just asking.

Excuse you. But shouldn't someone who wishes he wasn't some "never

was" slash "never will be" paint shitter be striving to actually

acomplish something with your life...I mean other than obsessing over

me that is. Granted I am very interesting and produce many very

interesting things, but still, I doubt most of them would hold any

interest at all to some oldbie/wannabe paint shitter like you.
