I apparently need to adjust what direction clocks run...
You must be in the northern hemisphere, where vertical sundials run backwards

So you're telling me the book was called Mary Shelley?
Sounds like a Gorillaz song...

@boomzilla said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
It's an epistolary novel, so it seems like written by Frankenstein.

Not "funny", but related to this:
A while back I ran across a lot of music files in my collection that have the ID3 tags for Title and Artist reversed. Which set me on a hunt for tracks where that wouldn't matter, and especially those where the Album tag would also match the other two.
I found "Bad Company" and "Bo Diddley"
And a singer in Taiwan who's done this twice, once under her Chinese name and once under the English name she later adopted.

From Facebook:
Jack, a handsome man, walked into a sports bar around 9:58 pm. He sat down next to this blonde at the bar and stared up at the TV as the 10:00 news came on. The news crew was covering a story of a man on a ledge of a large building preparing to jump.
The blonde looked at Jack and said, "Do you think he'll jump?"
Jack says, "You know what, I bet he will." The blonde replied, "Well, I bet he won't." Jack placed $30 on the bar and said, "You're on!"
Just as the blonde placed her money on the bar, the guy did a swan dive off of the building, falling to his death. The blonde was very upset and handed her $30 to Jack, saying, "Fair's fair... Here's your money."
Jack replied, "I can't take your money, I saw this earlier on the 5 o'clock news and knew he would jump."
The blonde replies, "I did too; but I didn't think he'd do it again."
Jack took the money.

I would have preferred one of those gesturing hands that Carmine Infantino used in the Silver Age "The Flash".

@BernieTheBernie Fun Fact: WordPerfect had this cool feature called Reveal Codes, where you could see the complete formatting codes for text, which was useful when trying to debug a problem. (This was better than Word's equivalent feature, where they Benevolently Deem which formatting marks you need to see, which is sometimes insufficient.)
The drawback was that when you copied and pasted some text, WP wasn't smart enough to remove the redundant formatting codes. This had no visible effect (except when viewing Reveal Codes), but it would gradually increase the size of the files until you got THESE ENORMOUS FILES THAT WERE OVER ONE MEGABYTE!!
Your post just reminded me of this somehow.

I recall a case with a very-large-size font code immediately followed by a normal size code, which still reserved the vertical space. This was in WP 6.1.

I remember you could do this split-screen: text-with-formatting-codes below, formatted text above. I think you could even work in both of them.

You're supposed to shoot the meat before you put it on the grill.
That's some serious sibling rivalry.

Status: Penetration testing to see what breaks.
Couldn't figure out a better threat to post in so try to see the humour.

I wanted to create an "Inflamed Funny Stuff Thread", but figured that would give the video away.

They will obviously never confirm nor deny it, but it totally looks like a @Polygeekery & @Applied-Mediocrity joint operation.

@izzion I have, over several decades of doing laundry, left a variety of items in my pockets — wallets, pens, pocket knives; recently, I left an inhaler in my pocket — but the most damage I've ever done was to permanently stain my clothes with ink. That was ... impressive.

As someone that has purposely exploded lighters, this must have been one hell of a lighter.

Must be one of these sodium based ones, they don't like being washed.

I read more about the incident elsewhere and there it talked about a refill can for lighters.
Not sure why you'd keep that in your pocket, but here we are.
