Let’s do the timewarp

13 Feb

Came across this wonderful ‘tool’ that the Open University have created in honour of Darwin’s 200th birthday. (Happy birthday, Charlie!). ‘Devolve Me’ allows you to upload your picture and see how you would have looked as an early human. My devolution below, from Don’t Go Mad Bond Baddie to, er, Australopithecus afarensis. Seconds of fun for a Friday.

Gunther — the world’s richest (digital) pet

18 Dec

I’m a bit late seeing this gem from The Times but couldn’t resist. Gunther the dog appears to preside over a fortune of £90m although doesn’t seem to have splashed out much of this on the design of his website. There’s some suggestion this may be a hoax, but it’s all good fun whatever.

Also of note is Tinker the cat at £450,000 and the late Queen Mum’s sheep.

 
 

Stealing the show

07 Nov

We often talk about how to grab an audience’s attention. The drummer in this clip certainly manages that– you might say for all the wrong reasons.
