Unfathomable

The Hubble Ultra Deep Field

I spotted quite a few links to this over the week but only just got around to watching it. It’s actually ridiculous. And I get scared enough just thinking about how deep the sea is.

No more water, but fire next time

I’m definitely with Justin on this: the old woman = teh scary

All in all this looks fairly ridiculous, but I think my favourite thing about it has to be the imdb.com message boards where there’s a thread about whether this is just the same as film X or film Y, someone’s thrown Dogma into the equation and a reply reads:

Wow … Loki and Bartleby.

Ya that is so the same as Gabriel and Michael

The least you could do is get an understanding of characters in these movies.

And for the record Loki wasn’t even a Christian Deity … He is from Norse mythology.

But scripture clearly recalls the Angel Bartleby…? Also I think the phrase ‘Christian Deity’ is generally preceded by the definite article, unless there’s a memo I missed.

Multitask (Fail)

I thought I had this cracked by crossing my hands until I hit 80 seconds then everything went a bit wrong.

If you want to know why people use your site, take things away and see what they complain about

If having quite a lot of the (work) website down has taught me anything it’s taught me that:

Our website is capable of: running a full virtual ticketing system with dynamic event pages, event brand pages and seating plans where necessary, providing a News feed for each outlet, club, society, forum, committee and department in the Union, running Union-wide elections, Club and Society Elections and Polls for every organisation within the Union, running Sabbatical and Departmental blogs, giving people information of every aspect of us as a membership organisation and a commercial organisation, offering people advertising and sponsorship opportunities, offering our members a place to buy and sell goods as well as find out about local and national services available to them and much much more

People use our site for: the links to the University and Webmail

Brilliant.
