Friday's Food for Thought - 2/8/08
This edition of Friday's Food for Thought is brought to you by caffeine. I wouldn't have made it through this week alive without this wonderful little drug. And now for the amazing, the weird, and the just plain interesting!
First, from the San Francisco Chronicle:
British Stores Halt 'Lolita' Beds
"Woolworths stores in Britain have stopped selling "Lolita" beds for young girls after a parents' organization complained because of the name's association with the famous novel about a pedophile."
Second, a quote in honor of Super Tuesday happening this week in the US political scene:
"In the course of my life, I have often had to eat my words, and I must confess that I have always found it a wholesome diet."
- Winston Churchill
Spoken like a true politician!
Last, but certainly not least, an incredibly interesting video! This video, entitled "The 1K Project II", it is a video collage of 1000 different replays of a car running on the same track in the PC stunt racer, TrackMania. I must admit to never having played this particular game, but the beauty in the presentation of this video transcends mere racing games!
See, wasn't that cool?

That video was very cool. I especially liked near the end where all the cars were raining into that big parking lot. At first though, I didn't know what it was going to be because you said replays. I was thinking just a car racing replayed over and over, not all together. I'm glad I watched! ;-)
I just couldn't believe it when I read about those beds...
hahaha.
