   @DJ Stawes: It looks like they were building off of the Kinect SDK, so probably a similar method to that (hovering the cursor over a pushable button for a set amount of time, or swipe-based).

   DJ Stawes: About halfway through the Venn diagram sequence, I started to wonder when Batman would appear. Clever.

   They actually started building the winning tower design (after reducing it from eight sided to four sided) but ran out of money after the first stage. It sat around for about ten years before they demolished it to build Wembley Stadium.

    ...but Bond has high tech gadgets too. He'd be at the Minterm of 'Dapper Womaniser', 'Played by Multiple Actors' and 'High Tech Gadgets'.
    
    ...and that's not even how Euler diagrams work. Batman would be in an minterm where all those sets overlap. Not outside of all of them.

    MWHS: if the purpose of your BA was to gain the power to deconstruct and ruin slivers of joy, then yup, that degree is worth every penny. I s'pose I'm just gonna go sit in the corner and contemplate the lack of a true and loving god in an unsympathetic universe. Thanks.
    
    
    OH! OH! But before I put on my moping slippers...
    
    It took a long time for me to finally break down and start reading Love And Rockets, but I'm glad I did. Otherwise I might never have found out about this bit of oddness.

    MWHS - Hey, you turned it around, and successfully de-fanged my potshot! Not cool, man.
    
    I guess I'll have to pretend that I'm unconcerned about this.
    
    
    But this cheers me up.
    
    
    Oh, and oldhat? "clever girl. Now I'll just absent-mindedly place this loaded handgun a little too near your outstretched hand and describe the luscious manner of your demise.

    Sam J. Jones is best known for starring in the 1980 cult sci-fi film Flash Gordon. Although he'll be making a cameo in Seth MacFarlane’s Ted, he is spending most of his time as a real life bodyguard.

    This is probably mean-spirited, but I'm drunk and I know Photoshop.
    
    
    
    Actually, maybe some of you don't get the reference. The late Jack Horkheimer had an astronomy program on PBS that came on late at night on my local channel. I enjoyed the hell out of it; the guy had a genuine excitement for astronomy. I'm probably going to a deserved lower circle of hell for that image.
