| Monty Hall problem |
[Sep. 24th, 2008|09:28 pm] |
Just watching '21' where the 'Monty Hall problem' was covered.
Makes sense, but it's a little difficult to get your head around at first (see below).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem
It makes more sense if you imagine someone trying to find the ace of spades in a deck of cards. If the dealer removed all the non-ace-of-spades cards after the player's original pick, the ace of spades is far more likely to be with the dealer at that point.

Using ALL of the following numbers and standard operators (+ - x /), make 24 EXACTLY
8, 8, 3, 3
There is absolutely no catch to this whatsoever.

| dan le sac Vs Scroobius Pip - "Letter from God to man" |
[Jul. 6th, 2008|07:22 am] |

This is a letter from God to man:
Hey There, how’s it going?
Long time no see.
I know I haven’t been around much lately
But…it didn’t seem like you wanted me to be
The last time I sent down a message you nailed it to the cross
So I figured I’d just leave you to it, let you be your own boss
But I’ve been keeping an eye on you, I have, and it’s amazing how you’ve grown.
With your technological advances and the problems you’ve overthrown,
And all the beautiful art you’ve created with such grace and such finesse,
But I admit there are a few things I’m afraid have impressed me less.
So I’m writing to apologize for all the horrors committed in my name,
Although that was never what I intended, I feel I should take my share of the blame.
All the good I tried to do was corrupted when all the religion got into full swing,
What I thought were quite clear messages were taken to unusual extremes.
My teachings taken out of context to meet the agendas of others,
Interpretations taken to many different ways and hidden meanings discovered
Religion became a tool, for the weak to control the strong
With all these new morals and ethics, survival of the fittest was gone
No longer could the biggest man simply take whatever he needed
‘cause damnation was the price if certain rules were not heeded
Some of the deeds committed in my name just made me wonder were I went wrong.
Back at the start when I created this, the foundation seemed so strong.
See all the elements were already here, long before I began, I just kind of put it all together
I didn’t really think out a long-term plan.
I made the sun an appropriate distance and laid the stars across the sky
So you could navigate the globe or simply watch the sun rise
I covered the earth with plants and fruits,
Some for sustenance and some for beauty
I made the sun shine and the clouds rain so their maintenance wasn’t your duty
I tried to give each creature its own attributes without making them enveloped
I gave you all you all your own space to grow and in your own way space to develop
I didn’t know such development would cause rifts and jealousy
Cause you to war against each other and leave marks on this planet indelibly
You see, I wasn’t really the creator, I was just the curator of nature
I want to get something straight with homosexuals right now: I don’t hate ya
I was a simple being that happened to be the first to wield such powers
I just laid the ground, it was You that built the towers
It was You that invented bombs, and the fear that comes with them
And it was You that invented money, and the corrupt economic systems
You invented terms like just-war and terms like friendly fire
And it was You that didn’t know when to stop digging deeper, when to stop building higher
It was You that exhausted the resources I carefully laid out on this earth,
And it was You that even saw these problems coming but accredited them little worth
It was You that used my teachings for your own personal gain
And it was You that committed such tragedies, even though they were in my name
So I apologize for any mistakes I made, and when my words misconstrued
But this apology’s to mother nature, cause I created you |

[Sep. 24th, 2007|10:23 pm] |
Just came across this on YouTube:
Misnomer track 'Target :: London' live at The Garage (or The Underworld perhaps?).
The sound isn't spectacular, but the guy has done a great job with the video. |

| Misnomer soundtrack for Anime videos |
[Mar. 29th, 2007|07:46 pm] |
This guy is pretty damn good, it must be said:
Anime vid 1
More vids (also with Misnomer backing) can be found here.
There is a soundtrack feel to a lot of our material, but it seems to work particularly well with Anime for some reason. |

| V for Vendetta |
[Apr. 3rd, 2006|08:59 pm] |

V for Vendetta is absolutely brilliant. I strongly recommend that you see it as it's a return to form for the Wachowski brothers after the disappointing Matrix sequels. Casting John Hurt (1984) as Adam Sutler was a stroke of genius and it's certainly a movie that makes you think. |
