A kid in my class comes in all red eyed and half asleep and I say "dang Pete what happened to you?" he said "Oh man, Coach, I got Halo 2 last night. That game is tight, it is off the hook dog, you have to check it out."

So apparently Halo 2 is pretty good...or at least Pete says it is

Do you know why cornish pasties were invented? They were made by the wives of the tin miners, and were provided as a meal in a neat package. The large crust was for the miner to hold it by, and was discarded afterwards - that way the person did not get poisoned by the metals.

Did you know Scotch Guard and Post It Glue were both flops at an attempt to make a different type of adhesive for tape?

Scotch Guard was an older formula that they were trying to make work as an adhesive. Some had spilled onto a technicians coat "after" he had spilled coffe on it. The coat was washed, and part of the spot did not come out. The technician knew that the adhesive formula fell on his coat after he spilled the coffee on it. He poured the Adhesive formula on a piece of colored cloth and then tried spilling other chemicals to stain it. The color did not fade, nor did any stains remain after the adhesive formula was placed on it.
(the story is often told differently, but this is how the Scotch company released it originally)

Post It glue was supposed to be an industrial strength adhesive for packaging tape. It was too dense, gell like, and it would never completely dry. Finally, some of the lab technicians took the goop and placed in on the back of some of their notes on the wall quickly and they knew the glue would easily be removable. Thus the first Post It notes were invented.

Did you know that when the British government introduced daylight-saving time in Spring, there were protests. People claimed that since the clocks went forward by an hour, the government were stealing an hour of their lives. Stupid.

They are. Don't be fooled.

do you know that since 3 days I have captured 148 short films, edited them , added titles and bugs, adjusted audio, cropped and color corrected them to be nearly the same, encoded them and made menus and created and burned these onto dvd's ? and burned about 300 disks in last 3 days also ..

and did you know i have not slept a whole lot in last 3 days either and getting nutso ..


i DID know it because I kept clicking back on the olsen twin thread , so i knew i am going wacky ...

[Goober57]

I am doing two always at the same time.... i'm starting to get which audio goes with what mixed up though ..

Oh no, that brings back a very bad memory.

In '95 I was making a short video to be sent out. I ran out of empty master tapes so I used one that had an episode of All in the Family recorded on it.

When I mixed the audio I had some switches set in the wrong position. When the tape was finished I was going to start duping them, but first took one final listen.

Well, the video was great but the audio had Archie Bunker saying something VERY offensive.

Oh my god, I'm really glad I caught that before I sent them out!!!

Did you know that there were more declared wars in America during the early years of the US due to families feuding than for any other reason?

Leather does not have any smell. The leather smell that you sense is actually derived from the materials used in the tanning process.

Did you know, In Massachusetts it is illegal to wear stilts at a construction site?

Odd as it seems, stilts really are commonly used at construction sites for people who do work on ceilings.
