Subway
I clear my mind and stare into the drain, as motionless as it is, and as I stare into it the black center widens as if thickly oozing out of the drainpipe and envelopes the entire sink.
. . .
I realize I've been standing in front of the sink for over an hour and a half and the water has boiled away, leaving an empty pot. Luckily I have the presence of mind to put on the stove mitts before picking up the pan and setting it down in the empty sink.
It's almost time to leave, so I begin to get ready for work. I take off all of my clothes, and put on a new set. It's hard to explain, but no longer surprising -- now I am a different person. Maybe this would be useful: Show a child a newspaper cutout of a lion's picture, and they'll say it's a lion. Fold it into a paper airplane and it will be a paper airplane. There really isn't a trick to it. You'd ask me to say what the change in me is, and I would ask you right back.
I step outside, walk to the subway, and descend underground.
By instinct I look at the faces around me--the pretty young girl with her (fiancé, lover, husband, brother), the old woman with a blank stare, her life nearly over. I begin to feel queasy and I stop looking. Instead I focus my eyes into the distance as my movements become mechanical and I let myself become movement itself, become a means to my ultimate destination.
I move quickly past the faces. They don't have any distinction, are just obstacles, as I navigate to Platform 3. I squeeze into the train, and am immediately relieved to be free of the open space.
Revolution Leaked Controller!
Hiroshi Yamauchi's personal secret Nintendo Revolution controller revision, pictured above, is just one of the many designs that are all true and absolutely not fake.

Haruki Murakami fan translated fiction
This page was taken off the main site, but hey, here it is using the handy dandy Wayback Machine! Everybody illicitly read and think without permission!
(the Wayback machine also is handy for throwing in dead links of any kind and finding the original document...like some of the links on this page to external sites!)

What we've all been waiting for
To answer the question on all of our minds:
Internal sensors allow the android to react "naturally." It can block an attempted slap, for example.

Don't trust that face!
Just a gentle reminder for the day that Kirk Cameron is no longer experiencing 'growing pains,' and instead has found his purpose in life. That purpose is to convert you to Christianity and destroy all of your false gods.
(...With the help of 'Ray Comfort,' whose pseudonym is about as creative as porno favorites like "Long Dong" or "Big Black Cockman.")

We know you've all had some problems with the Patriot Act. We've been thinking the same thing--it isn't powerful enough! We recommend that we can subpoena you 'administratively' now, still without any evidence, and you still can't tell anybody or we'll put you in jail. Isn't that better?
What, you think your liberties are in danger?
WELL JUST REMEMBER YOU ONLY HAVE REASON TO BE CONCERNED IF YOU ARE A TERRORIST.

Thing:
"...uses sampled music from the original 'Super Mario Bros.' game released by Nintendo in 1985 and fuses it with techno beats and humorous lyrics such as 'the princess might be a fake,' 'you might be using Mario too much,' and 'Luigi might get sulky.'"

Lord of the Rings Japanese subtitilation
Boromir:
[script] Then you did what I could not.
[subtitle] I am ashamed.
The Prancing Pony
Barliman
[script] Good evening, little Masters.
[subtitle] What are these shorties here for?
Ever wonder what you'd end up with if you did the subtitles for a 3-hour, fastidiously-detailed movie in less than a week just because you're the unquestioned master matriarch of the Japanese subtitle business?
