Role Playing Flowchart


If you are into role playing games, the flowchart above should bring you some chuckles. Of course, if you have never played role playing games, you probably wont get it. Suffice it say, that if you rip out all of the extraneous eye candy and pompous mood setting words of any role playing game, you would be left with the above list of actions.

Via The Great Geek Manual: The Ultimate D&D Gaming Cycle Flowchart
You can download a much larger version of the chart to use as a background at the above site.

LoLCode, a programming language for random cats with captions


If you aren't into programming you probably won't get this. In fact, if you haven't encountered the exciting and superbly stupid Internet fad of posting captions on pictures of other peoples cats, you probably still won't get this even if you are into programming.
LolCode is a new(theoretical) programming language based on Anil Dash's LoLCat grammar dictionary. If you haven't read it you really should. It's hilarious. You can find his grammar dictionary at Cats can has grammar.

Anyway, back to the programming language. Here is an example of loop to count to 10.

HAI
CAN HAS STDIO?
I HAS A VAR
IM IN YR LOOP
UP VAR!!1
VISIBLE VAR
IZ VAR BIGGER THAN 10? KTHXBYE
IM OUTTA YR LOOP
KTHXBYE


I love the begining and ending tags in the language. Hai and Kthxbye are just great.

Check it out here: LOLCODE.com

The number seven




Came across this article "Seventy-seven things you need to know about 07" Some very interesting facts about the number seven.

I liked #11.
The seventh son of a seventh son has magic powers, according to Irish folklore, but is a vampire in Romanian legend.

Kind of ironic. Most of the facts in the news article can also be found in the Wikipedia article about the number seven.
