He just kind of blends in.</p>http://tumbleintopeace.com/post/780154926http://tumbleintopeace.com/post/780154926Wed, 07 Jul 2010 00:05:02 -0700<p>C, E-flat, and G go into a bar. The bartender says, “Sorry, but we don’t serve minors.”</p> <p>So the E-flat leaves, and the C and the G have an open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished; the G is out flat.</p> <p>An F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough. A D comes into the bar and heads straight for the bathroom saying, “Excuse me. I’ll just be a second.”</p> <p>An A comes into the bar, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor.</p> <p>Then the bartender notices a B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and exclaims, “Get out now! You’re the seventh minor I’ve found in this bar tonight.”</p> <p>The E-flat, not easily deflated, comes back to the bar the next night in a 3-piece suit with nicely shined shoes. The bartender says: “You’re looking sharp tonight, come on in! This could be a major development.” This proves to be the case, as the E-flat takes off the suit, and everything else, and stands there au naturel.</p> <p>Eventually, the C sobers up, and realizes in horror that he’s under a rest.</p> <p>The C is brought to trial, is found guilty of contributing to the diminution of a minor, and is sentenced to 10 years of DS without Coda at an upscale correctional facility.</p> <p>On appeal, however, the C is found innocent of any wrongdoing, even accidental, and that all accusations to the contrary are bassless. The bartender decides he needs a rest - and closes the bar.</p>http://tumbleintopeace.com/post/702657555http://tumbleintopeace.com/post/702657555Tue, 15 Jun 2010 17:27:03 -0700<a href="http:// http//theoatmeal.com/comics/email_address">What Email Address Says about You</a>http://tumbleintopeace.com/post/650679239http://tumbleintopeace.com/post/650679239Mon, 31 May 2010 11:39:28 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l2ys20gRK41qz4sn5o1_r1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><span><a href="http://i.imgur.com/E31yP.png" target="_blank">250 men and women asked to draw how several emotions felt in their bodies. </a></span></p> <p><span><a href="http://i.imgur.com/E31yP.png" target="_blank">These are the combined results.</a></span></p>http://tumbleintopeace.com/post/630609136http://tumbleintopeace.com/post/630609136Tue, 25 May 2010 00:13:00 -0700<a href="http://www.wimp.com/accentgirl/">Meet the Accent Girl - Video</a>http://tumbleintopeace.com/post/630383370http://tumbleintopeace.com/post/630383370Mon, 24 May 2010 22:28:00 -0700<object width="400" height="254"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ndkIP7ec3O8&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ndkIP7ec3O8&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="254" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>Ahhh!

Clarke’s novel of <i>2001: A Space Odyssey</i>:</p> <blockquote> <p>When he tired of official reports and memoranda and minutes, he would plug his foolscap-sized Newspad into the ship’s information circuit and scan the latest reports from Earth. One by one he would conjure up the world’s major electronic papers.… Switching to the display unit’s short-term memory, he would hold the front page while he quickly searched the headlines and noted the items that interested him.… The postage-stamp-sized rectangle would expand until it neatly filled the screen and he could read it with comfort. When he had finished, he would flash back to the complete page and select a new subject for detailed examination.</p> <p>(via John Gruber, <a title="Daring Fireball" href="http://www.daringfireball.net" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.daringfireball.net" target="_blank">www.daringfireball.net</a></a>)</p> </blockquote>http://tumbleintopeace.com/post/399519548http://tumbleintopeace.com/post/399519548Fri, 19 Feb 2010 17:18:00 -0800<object width="400" height="325"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Y0ExpwpzGsE&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Y0ExpwpzGsE&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="325" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>Praying Mantis vs Computer Mouse Arrow</p>http://tumbleintopeace.com/post/387020367http://tumbleintopeace.com/post/387020367Sat, 13 Feb 2010 01:53:57 -0800
