@ben_lubar I wouldn't worry about that. The beginning of the scene has Harpo crashing into the actual mirror and shattering it before being forced into the stunts above, so the audience knows full well it's not a real mirror at this point.
-
@ben_lubar said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
Looking at this now, the lighting reveals that it's not a mirror way too soon in the scene. They should've put another light in exactly opposite the one behind the wall.
Ben you should actually watch the movie. It's good. You'd like it.

I've seen it before, but it was a long time ago. Probably back when libraries had VHSes you could take out.

I thought dumps were the worst thing that could happen to certification exams until i saw this video. Possibly racist but the accent is nonetheless extremely funny.

It's my favorite of theirs.

Dea is actually an Agile Soulware Developer. However unlike the developers we're familiar with, he has complete control of all aspects of the ecosystem. The raptures are basically his way of deprecating+recalling older products, and the next wave of life on Earth is the next release wave in his Internet of Things...

@Applied-Mediocrity Didn't C.S. Lewis write a book where some astronomer went to Venus and found the people there were like a "beta test" of humanity, then went to Mars and found out that the people there were like holy perfected super-people? Like Venus and Earth were just early wrong versions of what God was actually trying to create? The scientist he was travelling with gets possessed by Satan and he has to fight him.
I wish I could remember the name of that book series...
EDIT: I guess it's just called "The Space Trilogy": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Space_Trilogy also I got the order of the planets wrong, Venus is the perfected one.
-
@blakeyrat Venus wasn't "perfect", it was "innocent" (as an allegory for the pre-fall Garden of Eden).
But yes, that's the Space Trilogy. And it's kinda strange (even for someone like me that likes CS Lewis).

I didn't know he wrote anything besides Narnia, which is pretty shit.

Narnia is good if you understand the point (to be an allegory). And if you're part of the target audience.
I actually prefer CS Lewis's other writings, especially the Screwtape Letters.
-
@Benjamin-Hall I've probably missed the point then, although it's been years since I read it. All I know is that it reads like someone with a good story in mind and no skill whatsoever in telling it.

Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength are the individual books in the trilogy. I don't think I ever read That Hideous Strength, but I remember liking the first two when I was in middle school, or thereabouts.
-
@HardwareGeek Out of the Silent Planet is the least strange. Perelandra gets weird, and That Hideous Strength gets downright strange. Good, but not my favorites.
-
@Benjamin-Hall said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:

I think that's why I never read it; I knew enough about it to know it wouldn't appeal to me.

I actually really liked it. Although, That Hideous Strength (the third book) starts off rather slow and boring, and then gets pretty weird.
-
@anotherusername It's been decades since I even tried. I might get more out of the whole series now that I'm not a stupid teenager.

@dkf It's called train surfing. It's illegal most places. Round here a couple weeks back one hit the news who bragged about his stunt on youtube/facebook/one of those places.

Fact of the Day #1000:
"Mile" comes from the Latin mille, which means "thousand," and the distance of 1 mile is mille passus, or "one thousand paces" of a Roman soldier, which came out to 5280 feet.But remembering that something is the length of the path traveled by light in a vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458th of a second is so much easier than remembering that something's the pace of a Roman soldier.

Doesn't matter, god put those fossils in the ground Last Thursday.

@El_Heffe said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
The first dinosaur fossil recorded by a scientist, maybe.
I very much doubt that nobody found a dinosaur fossil in the millions of years there have been dinosaur fossils, especially because coal was definitely a thing in the 1700s.
-
@ben_lubar So, to complete a truly epic joke-stomp, we'd want to model the likelihood of George Washington having known dinosaurs existed and show it to be likely above .5? What should really be the bar here?

There's reasonable suspicion that dragons (on two continents, no less) were inspired by dinosaur fossils.

Although I haven't actually seen that, you're wrong. If at any time in the future you turn out to be right, I... probably won't let you know, but should.

Since he doesn't seem to notice the devil standing behind him, I'd assume he's just being projected into hell and isn't actually there.

Welcome to my life as a teacher. Watching kids take the longest possible route to doing something with a computer is actively painful. Heck, they're all active users of iPads (for school) and didn't know about the two-finger swipe trackpad that's been there since iOS 10.
Yay, Apple for usability and discoverability!
That's what people say. I had a Mac, but it didn't seem like the features were discoverable to me, so I went back to Windows and Linux.
