Prequel Generation Questions A New Hope
Whgat happenes when a Starwars prequel mad kid who hasn’t seen the classic trilogy watches them all in order.
Lots of interesting questions which show just how many huge holes George Lucas left in there.
- in Ben’s hut: “Where is Qui-Gon? I thought Obi-Wan was supposed to be training with him?”
- as C-3PO throws a Jawa body on the pile… “Do you think that R2-D2 started that fire with his jet rockets?”
- “How can the Emperor dissolve the Senate? Didn’t he destroy it trying to kill Yoda?”
- “Is Chewbacca the only Wookiee that survives the Clone Wars?” (with great concern)
- “Why don’t those ships need Hyperspace rings?”

modernatomic.com - what about girls?
A most enlightening and very po-faced pamphlet for servicemen in WWII on the dangers of shagging birds, both the variety you pay for and the ones who just fancy a quickie for free. The message is very clear, we don’t mind what you lads do, but we’re going to lock you sweet 16 slapper in a filthy jail cell, so don’t for her sake. Here’s a bit more blurb from the referring page.
Published in 1943 by the Division of Social Protection of the Office of Community War Services, the author is none other than Eliot Ness of ‘The Untouchables’ fame.
Other charming titles in the series include “What About Our Japanese-Americans?”, “The Negro And The War”, and “Workers and Bosses Are Humans”.

3M’s Canadian Website features a fascinating article on how to construct a very neat looking and practical wallet just from the sticky grey stuff. Now it could be argued that anyone who had to make a wallet from duct-tape probably doesn’t have anything much to put in it, but that said if you’re broke you could always make one as a cheap present for someone.

Channel 4’s new series presented by Tony “Baldrick” Robinson explores some of history’s worst jobs ranging from “groom of the stool” - wiping the kings arse, to “castrato” - being an opera singing eunuch.
An interesting half hours read.

The Human Clock is an interesting way to clockwatch. There is a photo of every single minute in the day, and it’s often just a person hoiding up a crude sign or someone has seen a town while out and about and has taken a pic of it.

This guy has hit on a very simple and effective scam to get people to send him money.
He is threatening to slaughter and eat his pet rabbit unless people paypal him 50k dollars. It’s working and he’s already got 14k..jesus…what a money spinner. To drive the message home he is juxtaposing the cutest fluffy bunny pics ever with a page of rabbit recipes. He’s even got merchandising.

How to use a hand puppet to meet, attract, and date tons of single women…
When you see a girl that you’re attracted to, approach her and tap her on the shoulder lightly with your puppet and when she turns around raise your hand puppet towards her face and say something like this with your puppet, “Hi beautiful, would you like to dance with me?” Move your puppet up and down with your hand as you are saying your script just as if the puppet was really talking. And be sure to talk in a real silly voice.
