Hah!

He called me a gecko! Hah!

Keanu vs shark

Look at the eye on that shark ... !! When I first saw this I thought that that image must have been photoshopped ... seriously, what shark has eyes like that? Crazy eyes. o_O

But then I looked into it a little more and have now determined that this is probably a thresher shark, and they actually do have these huge round eyes. Further, there are three species of thresher shark, the largest of which, the common thresher, can become up to six meters and 500 kilos +. There isn't much to go by in this picture since it only shows part of the animal, but I'm thinking that this is a bigeye thresher, Alopias superciliosus, which is slightly smaller. (No prizes for guessing on what basis I drew that conclusion.) Thresher sharks are solitary and mostly pelagic. They have a modified circulatory system so that they can retain body heat to some extent. They can live for up to 20 years. All three species are on the IUCN vulnerable list. Of course.

You really can learn something new every day, and from the most unexpected sources. ;-)

A sudden shock!

I seriously CANNOT BELIEVE I never realized this before ... !! :-o

Where are they now?

Ahahahaha .... !!! :-D

YES!

I totally vote for this! Surprise! :-D

What if he's right??

Well, she spells it 'Stephenie', but other than that I think this is spot on. It really is the only sensible explanation. Alas.

Suddenly, a wild thought appears!!

Actually kind of a weird and creepy thought. Goes really well with this photo.

Innenriks, anyone?

Usj nei, norsk er et vanskelig språk altså.

He totally would have!

Ahahahahaha!! Fantastic! :-D

If you haven't seen this movie, you really need to get hold of it. Al Pacino as Satan, come on! :-D

This is SO TRUE

This is the truest Rage Comic I've ever seen. I feel this.

Ooh, and on a totally unrelated subject: happy birthday to James!!! :-D

Need gloves?

Or mittens? Can't decide?

WHY NOT ZOIDBERG???

I love dogs, but ...

... I really wouldn't want this one. Ick. Who wants that in their house? I wouldn't be able to sleep at night. And that thing would probably be standing at the foot of the bed staring at me.

Make sure to check out the alternative captions, there are some really good ones. Free puppy - the assassinations cost extra.

Mmm, mias!!

Hvem liker vel ikke mias??

Mais derimot er ikke jeg så kjempefan av, men hver sin smak.

Måtte pesten ramme dem

Jeg er som (muligens) kjent ikke registrert på Facebook. Har aldri vært det, vil aldri bli det, savner det ikke. Dette er hovedsakelig fordi jeg ikke gidder å surre meg borti enda noe mer vås på nett som jeg kommer til å kaste bort altfor mye tid på. Selv om de nok har en del suspekte ting for seg er jeg ikke i utgangspunktet anti-Facebook.

Dét er det dog andre som er. Sjekk denne fantastiske kommentaren fra kommentarfeltet på en artikkel i Dagbla' i dag om at Facebook spionerer på dere alle sammen. !!!1! Signaturen svidd har skrevet dette. LIKE.

At etteretningsorganisasjonen Facebook gjør dette burde bare overraske eremitter som lever i skogen uten avis,radio, pc eller tv.

Facebook har vist forrakt for eiendomsrett, privatliv,mennesker,samfunn lover og regler samt folks siden starten men fremdeles fortsetter folk å frivillig raportere om alle bevegelser, omgangskrets og alle hendelser i sitt liv til disse kriminelle svina.
Det trenger ikke svare for lover og regler for de er for mektige til at noen får gjort noe med dem.
Når man ser på selskapets etikk så bør man kunne forvente at de før eller siden bruker allt de har på deg , mot deg om de kan oppnå noe med dem.
Man får ikke gjort noe med dem og ingen kan stille dem til ansvar så slutt å gi bort livet deres til facebook det er ingen som trenger liveoppdateringer om farge og kosistens vær gang dere driter.

Slutt å bruk facebook for dere gjør oss alle til slaver når dere akksepterer ALLT .
Lurer på om facebook er noe populært i tidligere stalinistiske land..tidligere DRR f.eks.?
Regner med de setter litt mer pris på å ikke bli holdt øye med av fremmede til enn vær tid?
Måtte pest ramme ledelsen i både google og facebook

Don't be too sure

Well-known Keanuquote:

I used to have nightmares that they would put 'He played Ted' on my tombstone.

'Used to', you say ...

Yes ... excellent ...

o_O

All the things

If you spend too much time at ICHC and Memebase and so on, you can easily get a little confused ... you tend to start thinking that everybody knows what goes on there, everybody recognizes the memes and so on. This is not the case. Yesterday it turned out that Anne Ida and Tanumine absolutely don't recognize ALL THE THINGS. Alas. My bad, really ... I've been planning to blog about Hyperbole And A Half since forever, just never got around to it. I will soon, I promise. ;-)

In the meantime, I've made my own LOL based on that very meme, using a picture which is absolutely perfect. Those of you who know Raphael will see what I mean instantly. ;-)

I swear on Isaac Newton's grave that he got up there on his own.

Happy end of the world!

I wish it were really true.

See you all tomorrow. >:-)

Enough said

Because I really don't know quite what to say about this typo. It doesn't really need any further comment.

From an Oslo restaurant which will be allowed to remain nameless. But it does have a pretty swanky address. >:-)

Cake Wrecks nominee?

I am not a cake decorator. I am SO not a cake decorator. In fact I'm not even much of a baker. But sometimes I do bake. Like yesterday - I baked a chocolate cake for my coworker O.'s birthday. Which was today. He works so incredibly hard, puts in such a fantastic effort at work, and is almost always cheerful and smiling and willing to help out ... and I feel that he is sadly also really underappreciated. He's the kind of employee that ... you know, you don't really notice how much they actually do until they stop doing it. If he were to suddenly disappear from work without making any preparations - like say he went skiing and had an accident and broke both his legs - then I think we'd really be in trouble. But anyway.

Today was his birthday and I wanted to do something special for him. I already had a present ready (also chocolate - we have that in common ;-) but I wanted to bake a cake as well. I knew he would never in a million years expect me to do that, so he'd be really surprised and hopefully really happy. I baked it yesterday and brought it in to work without the icing. I put the icing on this morning after sneaking away upstairs with the cake without him noticing, and I also decorated it with a fun little message *cough* ... with sprinkles supposed to look like ice crystals, appropriate since we're totally covered in snow all over the place here. I tried my best.

Fortunately O. is totally on board with the idea that it's the thought that counts. Because I am so not a cake decorator. I mean, look at it. I started far too close to the center and wasn't able to figure out how much space I would need. Which, now I come to think of it, is exactly the same thing that happened last time I tried to decorate a cake! Sheesh. But yes, it is the thought that counts!!

I'm happy to report that he was able to tell what it said as soon as he saw it - HEIA OVE, which means 'go Ove!' (that being his name) - and then that's supposed to be a little smiley face at the top there. I didn't intend to put that there but there was such a huge expanse of emptiness that I just had to fill it up somehow. I know ...

When I brought it out he was super happy and totally surprised, and the cake tasted delicious. So it all worked out alright in the end. :-)

Oh, and Cake Wrecks is here.
