I remember that the image of a school was meant to represent direct intake into the brains of the knowledge of the books, rather than audiobooks. So if that's true, he wasn't right in predicting that one.SolidusDave said:neat, at least he was right about speech-to-text, video-chat and podcasts
The best part of course is the crank-powered machine that appears to be grinding the books up so they can be transmitted.
His imagination was very much on the right course, though. Did he predict helicopters? No, but he predicted flying contraptions that do the things helicopters do now, for an example.

Victoria Falls is also known as the Devil's Pool due to the rocks at the edge of the falls that prevents people from falling over. If you're brave enough to take a dip, go ahead, you won't fall off unless you intentionally jump off. From here, you can see the water cascading down and splashing at the bottom, a marvelous sight.

You could not pay me enough money to do that.

Richat Structure in Mauritania is a circular feature in the form of a bull's-eye target. It has become a landmark for space shuttle crews because of its weird shape. It was originally thought that a meteor had hit the spot, creating the strange shape, but scientists are now suggesting that the form was created due to erosion.

All I would think about while swimming there would be this thread and the video posted in there.

I read about this waterfall some time ago. It's pretty cool. I think there are stones in the water that block the flow of the water. The water there is just like in a pool and while it looks absolutely fucking crazy, nothing can happen if you don't jump out of that zone.

Cool or creepy, GAF? Or both?
A member of a famous girl band in Japan, AKB48 named Aimi Eguchi, who is also a star of a commercial for a candy company. It turns out she's not 'real' at all but rather 100% digitally constructed by combining the best characteristics of other members of the group: hair of Oshima Yuko, eyes of Maeda Otsuko, eyebrows of Watanabe Mayu, the nose of Itano Tomomi, the mouth of Shinoda Mariko, general outline of Takahashi Minami, and the voice of Sasaki Yukari.

Not really. Rip out the guts of a fairly accurate clock (or buy a clock movement from a craft shop) and attach a sprocket to the minute hand spindle. The sprocket now rotates once an hour. Adjust the number of links in the chain so that the ratio of teeth to links is 1:12. The chain now rotates completely once every 12 hours. Cut out some numbers in tin or something and solder them to the back of the chain.
Yeah, no risk no fun. I also like to ride highspeed downhill through singletrails on my mountainbike. I could accidentally make one wrong move and crash into a tree.
I also like bungeejumping but the rope could accidentally fail... and so on.
It's my choice and i don't force other ppl to do it. If you always only think about the risks, how can you enjoy anything?
But better i lock myself into a basement and watch the world through my 15" monitor. Happy life.

What kid ? My response was related to the guy on the edge with his arms spread out. I don't risk life of others but i don't have a problem to put myself in dangerous situations and i'm not even a hardcore extremesports guy.
Like i said, just one life.
sorry for my english and ot.

You must not be very perceptive then because almost every morning news show/channel has a clock in the bottom corner of the screen.alphaNoid said:
