quiz o’ the day: which Simpson are you?

Posted on by

I was inclined to give this a miss, because there aren’t that many questions and I couldn’t even pick out the comic book shop guy from them, but when I saw the result it gave me I knew it was uncannily accurate.

You Are Bart Simpson
Very misunderstood, most people just dismiss you as “trouble.”Little do they know that you’re wise and well accomplished beyond your years.

You will be remembered for: starring in your own TV show and saving the town from a comet

Your life philosophy: “I don’t know why I did it, I don’t know why I enjoyed it, and I don’t know why I’ll do it again!”

126,000 views? But then, it’s apparently been kicking around since the end of June. How did I miss this?

Update: I didn’t. Now I remember seeing it ages ago. It must have been when I was having trouble posting, otherwise I’d have grabbed it. But opening weekend is as good a time as any to put it out there, eh?

Does Google know their shit or what? These guys have demographics down to a scary science.

Here is their engineer-enticing display from a recent Star Trek convention.

E3!

Google duplicated the bridge of the fictional Starship Enterprise and embarked on a mission in Las Vegas to recruit engineers, at a gathering of cultish Star Trek devotees.

More than 10,000 fans of the Star Trek franchise that began with a television series debut in September of 1966 were expected by organisers to make pilgrimages to the official annual convention at the Las Vegas Hilton.

Oh yeah, this probably marks the only opportunity these guys will ever have to get inside a Hilton.

snakes on a paper plane!

snakes on a paper plane. What did you think it was?Now 25% more motherfucking!

Via Defamer.

Yes, today Snakes on a Plane opened, to predictably mixed reviews, and to celebrate this turning point in cinematic history, an apparent basement-dwelling nerdicon has chosen to commemorate this by creating Snakes on a Paper Plane.

It’s got a full-sized pattern so you can print out snakes in glorious colour, plus all the instructions on folding said paper plane, for those kids who actually paid attention in class instead of learning this or making necklaces out of staples like everybody else.

Seriously, how can you not???

It’s been worshipped, parodied, analyzed and merchandised months before its release, and now the B-movie turned Internet phenomenon “Snakes on a Plane” is finally here. Will it live up to the anticipation? Who knows, but with all the genuinely scary news about flying lately, we’re looking forward to some good, cheesy thrills. To celebrate, we’re giving you your own plane — complete with snakes. Unleash your inner Samuel L. Jackson and enjoy.
