I had my last ever A-Level exam today, which officially means no more school/sixth form or crazy rules. I need grades BBC to get into Sheffield University to study German and Russian.
This is possibly the most addictive tune you'll ever hear, I… want to… dance. 
Researches in Japan have made a CGI simulation of what would happen if an asteroid hit the Earth… it would be destroyed. They obviously forgot to factor in Bruce Wiliis.

This is the hard drive developed by IBM for their RAMAC computer in 1956. It has an amazing 5MB capacity, and consists of 50 1200RPM platters. In the last 50 years, hard drive capacity has increased exponentially to 150,000 times as much, while size has decreased to about the tenth of that first hard drive. If things keep progressing at the rate they have over the last 10 years, in another 10 years we'll have 2.5″ 75TB drives. That's enough to hold over a century of continuous music as higher than CD quality.
“Information is stored, magnetically, on fifty disks which rotate at 1200 rpm. These disks are mounted so as to rotate about a vertical axis, with a spacing of three tenths of an inch between disks. This spacing permits two magnetic heads to be positioned to any one of the 100 concentric tracks which are available on each side of each disk. Each track contains 500 alphanumeric characters. Total storage capacity: 5,000,000 characters. The two recording heads are mounted in a pair of arms which are moved, by a feed-back control system, in a radial direction to straddle a selected disk. This new system promises memory storage possibilities never before accomplished.”
The Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain are obviously short of decent singers…
Paulie the Penis clears it up for anyone who's unsure.
Ever thought it would look cool if you had a custom image displayed when you turn on your laptop instead of the Dell logo? I found a utility from Dell which seems to work on most models, and replaces the default logo with a BMP of your choice. I've bundled the utility with a few splash screens, all you need to do is either follow the instructions to create a bootable USB key or burn the included ISO image and type 'spl2 imagename' at the prompt.
A few splash screens are included with this release, but I'll probably add more later.
A phenomenon known as “goatse” has taken the internet by storm, in what has become the fad from hell that just won't die. Don't know what goatse is? It's a picture, go look it up, can't miss it. Unfortunately, no one can be told what the goatse is, you must see it for yourself….

No, I won't be hosting the pic, google images will tell you if you really want to know
A recent trailer for the latest X-Men movie has a line taken from the massively famous “Juggernaut Bitch” video by Naztradamix. The dubbed version of a transformers clip was popular last year.
ASCII maps converts Google's maps into matrix style ASCII art. What's really weird is the fact that I can see my street amongst all the noise. Maybe the matrix has me.
