Web junk

I've come across a lot of interesting and funny things on the internet recently, and thought I'd share a couple. Joey Mac turned me on to Gizoogle, the site that translates any site of your choice into Snoop-Doggesque speak. Check out the blog with it below (it leaves out the pictures):


Up next is a picture of the amazing horse, Clever Hans. People thought he could count by stomping his hoof on the ground the amount of time his trainer told him to. Turns out the horse was reading subtle facial and body language cues sent innocuously from the trainer and crowd without their knowledge. I just like the picture of the crowd transfixed by a performing horse. The world was amazing before television.

It's amazing the tangents you'll explore when you're cooped up with nowhere to go in front of Wikipedia all day.

Finally, here's a site a dude I work with told me about where you can make your own kaleidescope digitally, and see how it'll look when you spin it. It's pretty cool.
