and, when asked to comment, John Prescott said : [between mouthfuls of pies and a tart], " - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -" well, what do you think folks ? Lets have some good replies..... the Lizard

Excellent advice from Cranners. As usual. I second that. the Lizard

This ad is just a bit weird.... Oriental text, (Japanese, Chinese or Korean anybody ?), with english below. No commentary. And yes - there is a pigeon in it. 1min 40 secs http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=...rceid=zeitgeist what do you folks think ? which would you chose ? the Lizard

AWESOME. More fiendish amateur science !! thanks pin. Lizard

Thanks pin. bookmarked that for further study tomorrow. you are real star (plasma). Got any more? best wishes the Lizard

When I get home from work I feed and walk the dogs, sort ferrets,out, do invoices etc. I then sit down and do a brew and think to myself, nice, I can relax after a hard day at the grind. But no I bloody can't I hear, dad, come and look at this it will make you laugh:angry: Its always the same thing, some sick video or even worse those boloxes from Jackass and I have to pretend I haven't seen it before. Then, if I am really unlucky, the rottie kicks off regarding the stuff the kids are accessing Oh to be single again I need a shed in my garden so I can escape from the hoard and chill in peace. Sorry about that mate I kinda went off on one LB and why not LB. we all have good & bad days. pour yourself a pint or a wee dram. That's what I do. Lizard

PLASMA asked Google "define:plasma" most suitable of many answers as follows : A plasma is an extremely hot gas that is composed of free-floating ions (atomic nuclei stripped of some electrons - making the ions positively charged) and free electrons (negatively charged). A plasma behaves much differently than a neutral gas, and is considered the fourth state of matter. A plasma conducts electrical currents. Stars are composed of plasma. the Lizard because science is FUN.... the Lizard

Hi "me and my lad" Yes - I've seen the CD-in-a-Microwave, and I've heard about the Christmas Lights - but never seen it. Do you have a clip ? Best wishes, the Lizard

Well Digger, I won't disagree with any of the above, but I would like to add : 1. Google & YouTube videos are addictive. 2. I do get out quite a lot, but I still watch 'em anyway. 3. I watch hardly any TV. (This is GOOD). 4. There are a lot of great, original, unusual, interesting & very funny clips out there. 5. Finding them is half the fun !! best wishes, the Lizard P.S. I'm about to add a post with a link for another one. It's different - but it does have a pigeon !!

Sorry to hear that Baldrick, old bean. Ask Pin or one of the other computer boffins - they know how to sort out links & stuff. Good luck. BlackLizard.

As it says in the clip : Don't do this at home folks. Just DON'T. 1 min 17 secs. http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=...+your+microwave the Lizard

Henry, FYI Propane (CH3-CH2-CH3) : Vap density = 1.55 LEL = 1.7% UEL = 10.9% Auto Ig temp = 467 deg C. If you check, I think you'll find that LEL for Butane = 1.4%, not 1.8% (at least 1.4% would be the setting on a Gas Free Testing kit). the Lizard

And a list of answers to consider : Should crematoriums give discounts to burns victims? Abso-bloody-lutely. Or a free Large Fries and some Crackling. How did a fool and his money get together in the first place? by luck or inheritance, usually. If a mute kid swears, should his mother wash his hands with soap? No - toothpaste. Who’s cruel idea was it to put an ‘s’ in the word lisp? some blo..uh..uh..uh..dy lexico..co..co..cographer's. If you were going to shoot a mime, would you use a silencer? a quiet brick works fine. Is it true that cannibals don’t eat clowns because they taste funny? No. All fat stupid westerners taste funny. If Americans throw rice at weddings, do Asians throw hamburgers? Noodles 2 U. Why isn’t the word ‘phonetically’ spelt with an ‘f’? Ahh - now this is a goodie.... Because the word "phonetic" is not actually phonetic itself. Derived from the Greek word "phonos" using the ancient Greek alphabet - i.e. different phonemes. ETYMOLOGY: 19c: from Greek phonetikos, from phoneein to speak. remember - the word "onomatopoeia" is not an onomatopoeia itself. If a clown dies, do all the mourners turn up in one car? Hopefully. It's called a hearse. Do radioactive cats have eighteen half-lives? Of course. But do double-check with Schroedinger's cat first. Or maybe after ? If a jogger runs at the speed of sound, can he still hear his walkman? Yes. The walkman's signals are transmitted electronically, through metal wires. Therefore they travel at the speed of light. What’s another word for Thesaurus? Dictionary-of-Synonyms. OK, that's 3 words. I cheated. Why do they use sterile needles for lethal injections? Interesting NON-ethical question this... 1) because it would be too difficult and impractical NOT to. 2) well, you wouldn't want to contaminate the corpse either, would you? Who benefits from a sign that says ‘To the Braille School’? depends what kind of sign it is, really. If it is a acoustic sign (repeated public-address announcement), then the blind will benefit. If it is a Braille sign within a building or corridor, etc. then again, the blind will benefit. If it is a written sign on the side of a road - then it's going to be a waste of time. What happens if you put a slinky on an escalator? you can have a lot of fun. Going up or down ? If a word were misspelled in the dictionary, how would we know? check against another dictionary. (Preferably more than one.) but never rely on a single source of information. If blind people wear dark glasses, why don’t deaf people wear ear muffs? because you don't normally look into people ears when you are talking to them - you look into their eyes. (unless you are whispering, of course.) If you are sending someone Styrofoam, what do you pack it in? Itself of course. And save money. Why are there 5 syllables in the word monosyllabic? Actually it’s 10 syllables - but there were counting in base-5 when they did it. Why don’t they make mouse flavoured cat food? Don't they ? Now there's a thought. Maybe we could make some money here..... the Lizard

Hicks ? which "Hicks" ? the Lizard. P.S. Pin, how do you make those Kool avatars ? You gotta tell me m8...... thanks.

FACT : In 1994, a Japanese passenger was killed when a bomb hidden under a seat exploded midair on a Philippine Airlines flight. This flight still made a successful landing. The bomb was of the mixed liquid type. Question - Why has it taken governments & security agencies, etc. 8 (EIGHT) years to suddenly become aware of this ? FACT : weight-for-weight, Propane gas (when mixed with air/oxygen in the right proportion) is the most powerful chemical explosive known. Propane gas is also the most common propellant used in cans of Hair Spray and similiar products. (Google video "Potato gun" or "Potato cannon" to see this in action. Lots of clips). Any self-respecting suicide terrorist could bring down an aircraft by going into the toilet cubicle; half-filling the cubicle with propane by a couple of minutes spraying from a full can, (or even less) - then simply striking a match. Very big bang. No more airliner. N.B. Until last week, matches & cigarette lighters were still allowed on flights - although smoking is banned. Question - Have all the Security and Aviation experts only just now become aware of this ? (I don't think so.) Question - So *** is going on Those politicians wouldn't be trying to con us, now would they ? the Lizard

Hear, hear Mungler. Dawkins for President. the Lizard

Google video http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=...019303200331106 about 3 mins. worth a look. the Lizard

and I was really looking forward to playing it....... the Lizard

Here is a site I found recently that gives a list of the top cgi Proxy server sites - over 300 of them !! All Free. For those of you who do not know what CGI stands for, it means “Computer : Go Invisible†of course !! Actually cgi = Common Gateway Interface .... so that cgi proxy = anonymous web browsing http://www.topproxies.com/ Now you can visit “PigeonWatch Forums†when you’re supposed to be working in the office !! and for those budding cyber-Gandalfs among you, there are even some Proxies on this site that’ll do proxy chaining - like my favourite. the Lizard proud supporter of Spondoo - “This Proxy’s working Fine !!â€

Sorry to change the subject folks, (off-thread, I know), but Henry_d, I REALLY want to know why you have an avatar of Hunter S. Thompson now ? Pls tell us... the Lizard

Google video (3mins 20secs) Don't do this at home, folks (apart from 5th November, of course). :unsure: http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=...446493&hl=en-GB the Lizard

check out these idiots - (maybe there was a pigeon inside :unsure: ) http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=...915050&hl=en-GB Google video (56secs). the Lizard

For those of you who don’t already know this, Google can be used as an online dictionary / thesaurus / encyclopaedia, by using the “define†operator. Such as - define:spaghetti or define:Scotland or define:â€feral pigeon†or or define:soDIMM there must be NO space(s) between "define", the colon, and the search term. if your search term is more than one word, (as in the “feral pigeon†example above), then the use of inveted-commas / quote marks is recommended. Suck it & C the Lizard

Don't worry about pronunciation, just call me "Cute" : the Lizard
