That's nothin. That Steve Winwood song where he sings, "Bring me a higher love!", I used to think he was singing, "Bake me a higher loaf!"

I've always liked the Phil Collins song, "She seems to have an invisible todger." Hits the spot with me, anyhow.

Don't stand there. I wouldn't.

Why, have you farted..?

This sort of algorithm will, in a few years, be available to basically anyone - Youtubers will be able to animate as well as Pixar did in the 1990s.

Just awesome!

[Chinahand]

Goodness - you can get the results shown in the video below with just a web cam and some Youtube footage of your target.

Trusting anything you see on the internet is basically impossible now.

...a novel subspace deformation transfer technique...

Imagine how good it would be if they reversed the polarity!

Hey Chinahand,

I just saw this on Facebook. Is it true or is it false?

Thanks

Weird, not sure why that link hasn't transferred, might be because I'm using my phone.

 

Anyway, its an easy Google to find the many discussions on this supposed link.

[Jefferson Davis]

Yes, I'm sure your god Google will bring up lots of results where I could spend literally months reading through real and fake stories.

I'd like to know what Chinahand, the island's very own Bill Nye the Science Guy, makes of it. I'm also interested in Chinahand's thoughts, as someone who has variously described himself as a conservative or "classical liberal", on Bill Nye's recent controversy surrounding gender roles.

Fair enough, personally I go for the total coincidence option. The invention of the metre and longitude & latitude is much later than the Egyptians building their pyramids.

Exactly.  Both the metre and the second are arbitrarily defined units, as is the degree.  If the figures worked in terms of units derived from the Planck constant and the gravitational constant, and radians for the geometry, then TJ you'd be on to something!

[Jefferson Davis]

So the bottom line answer here is that yes it is true but it's all a big random coincidence because you subscribe to current Egyptology (and ancient history in general) which is long overdue a complete paradigm shift because it's completely wrong - e.g. the dating of the Sphinx. The ancient peoples of the world were a lot smarter, a lot earlier, than people think.

Even if ancient history is wrong (no idea where you're getting that one from) no one could deny that the invention of the metre and the system of measuring longitude and latitude is much more recent. Did whoever built the pyramids use the metric system?
