Re: Some Funny Pics.

That last pic gives me an idea... Caffeine-Infused Hot Dogs. I'll call them "Energy-Dogs" and they can be sold at truck stops and convenience stores offering the same kind of boost as an energy drink without creating a need for a pee break.

How late is the patent office open?

Ross. Be sure to offer organic free-range tofu version, and you've got the whole market.

I don't get the DiCrappio picture. Funny?

Peter, the DiCaprio pic is from the new movie Inception. They go into people's dreams, hence the dream job.

Kind of difficult to keep it in the barf bag at zero Gs. I never had anyone blow chow doing that but it's not very pleasant when the carpet on the floor is full of dirt. All that grit flies up and gets in your mouth and eyes.

Well, I can imagine (would not like to try though). There are other embarrassing moments, too (we have had this already somewhere, some time...)

When I saw this, I immediately thought of this thread.

Fascinating imagery. You get a few clues to how it works along the way, but at the very end, when there's the sponsor's monitor mid-scene and it goes very bright, you can see how the bright rectangle illuminates the underlying building.

Mostly what they do "to" the building is dark so you can't see the real building because there is no light.

Clearly the entire thing was designed to project in just that position on just that building, sometimes having parts of the image aligned with the windows on the underlying building. Occaisionally there are bits where "it just can't be helped" and you see the underlying technique.

Very cool.
