    Yes, this is real, apparently.

    Remember the Rejuvenique Electric Facial Mask?

    Well someone has worked out it's true meaning. As if the infomercial were done by Dario Argento...

    The ultimate urban exploration - the abandoned Soviet particle accelerator at Protvino, Russia.

    I have no idea what this is, why it does what it does or indeed what it might be doing. All i know is that it is called Wazzock and that is enough for me.

    Oddly enough i remember my Mum, who was a little girl in the 1930s, telling me how the kids in her road would be out running around with no trousers or shoes, their parents being too poor to afford such luxuries. Then those dreadful socialists came along after the war with their welfare state and ruined it all.

    TV history #10. The Curiosity Show was a hugely popular Australian kids' show which ran from about 1975 to 1985. Two high school science teachers, Rob Morrison and Dean Hutton, made cool stuff and ran scientific experiments in the ABC TV studio on a shoestring budget, using junk they probably brought in with them from home.

    Can't find a pic but a major industrial equipment company here in Perth is Cockburn Hire. Their range includes portaloos, prominently emblazoned with "COCKBURN". Not very reassuring...

    I live a half hour away from Disney World in Orlando. Yes, they really do this in their spare time. Thank you Bansky.

    What Happens When You Stick Your Head Into a Particle Accelerator
    Bugorski was a researcher at the Institute for High Energy Physics in Protvino. Specifically he worked with the Soviet particle accelerator the synchrotron U-70. On July 13, 1978, Bugorski was checking a malfunctioning piece of equipment. As he was leaning over the piece of equipment he stuck his head through the part of the accelerator that the proton beam was running through. Supposedly, he saw a flash that was “brighter than a thousand suns” at this point. Interestingly, he did not feel any pain when this happened.

    No mutations or superpowers as yet, damn it.

    HAHA! Fookwit I was totally coming here to post the matrix sound board but had I spent a bit less time playing on it I might have had an original post.

    ETA: Symmetrical patterns sound the best to me.
