some of the "hacks" i see are like tips from DOS for Dummies

― jw (ex machina), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 19:22 (seventeen years ago) link

i make no claims on technical hax0ring proficiency or anything, but it fucking irks me that any trivial time-saving tip is a "hack." stfu plz. boingboing is bad, and lifehacker nearly as bad with this.

What if Batman had been raped by Ra's Al Ghul + Gang?

by Spydah222 3 days ago (Fri Dec 1 2006 20:46:11 ) Ignore this User | Report Abuse

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got this idea from reading this comic called Authority, where a superhero called Midnighter, who was very simliar to Batman, was raped and sodomized daily by his gay Superman-esque partner Apollo.

Now this is a serious question, in addition to the terrible beatdown as seen in the movie where Bruce passes out after Ra's kicks the crap out of him, what if the movie also subtlely implied that he was raped? How would you react to that?

http://www.graysonscafe.com/images/omelet.jpgAwesome Omelette Hacks!!!1

In preparation for next year's World Egg Day, I am brushing up on my omelette technique. User elmo oxygen has these egg-cracking hacks to pwn yr omelettes:

Make sure your eggs are room temperature before cooking. You can do this by placing them in a bowl of lukewarm water for 30 minutes before preparation. Room temperature eggs are easier to crack and mix, and separating whites from yolks is a snap!

Also, eggs are chicken abortions!

Link

UPDATE: Many readers have pointed out that the eggs we eat are not fertilized, so they are not technically chicken abortions.

You mean this "eggsalad" (lol sounds like "excellent") mash-up between Paul Simon's "Mother & Child Reunion" (inspired by a Chinese chicken & egg dish!) with the Beatles "I Am The Egg Man"? ZOMG wonderful!!! Goo goo ga joob!

UPDATE: Many readers have pointed out that the title of the Beatles song is actually "I Am The Walrus."

i think liberal arts majors would be the only people for whom the symbolic sledgehammer of the "hadcuffed headphones" picture has any appeal. so, yes, out of line.

Nerdcore For Life is a forthcoming documentary on nerdcore rappers -- rappers who rhyme about computers, comic books, video games, D&D, and so forth. My all-time fave is MC Chris, but there are plenty of amazing nerdcoreists, from MC++ to Lords of the Rhymes. The trailer has just been posted, and it features many talented geek rappers explaining the impetus behind nerdcoredom.

Update: MC Frontalot sez, "there is another Nerdcore documentary feature (trailer) coming out. It is called Nerdcore Rising, from Vaguely Qualified in NY. There's a preview trailer online which focuses on me & my touring -- but as I understand it the movie has interviews with a bunch of the same artists as Nerdcore For Life."
