Haha, I get all my forum updates from MouserBot on the IRC Channel, so it just looks like new posts...generally I don't look at the author, I just see a new topic, and go check if its spam haha

Does this mean that Mouser is a robot or that he has a robot? If the second, it would be a great help around the house(unless it revolted and got rid of Mouser). How could we tell if that happened?

6 Places You'll Recognize from the Background of Every Movie  



I liked this Cracked article and checked on the 'net to see how popular it was. One place I checked was Reddit.

  6 Places You'll Recognize from the Background of Every Movie

When the thread wandered off-topic, I remembered this Cracked article:   5 Things Hollywood Reuses More Than Plots



Does anyone here on Reddit want to mention this connection(Has someone already done this?) or should I get a Reddit login?

For the rainy Arizona picture, I have a GE J1470S digital camera which has a Panorama mode. For the other panorama(the previous day) I took 5 or 6 panoramas with that camera and made a larger panorama with Serif PanoramaPlus Starter Edition.

I've wondered if a "computer dinner" is different than a "TV dinner"? Am I so weird that I am the only person who has thought about this? Is a "laptop dinner" different than a "desktop dinner"? Would a "mainframe dinner" be a multi-course feast. A"supercomputer dinner" would be Molecular gastronomy.
