Planet Nerd: Episode 6

Every 4000 years, or so the legend goes, an episode of a TV show is created which foretells the coming of The One.The ancient scriptures tell us that such an episode will contain the following segments:

  • A geek of the week with an actual lisp and actual retainer.
  • An exploration of the intersection of Maths and Comedy by Ben “Friendly Number” McKenzie.
  • One must leave, one must stay – Paul Verhoeven embarks on the Adventure of an Afternoon.
  • A visit to the Temple of Microchips: Dan Walmsley visits Intel’s home in Silicon Valley.

And now I must away, for the Gods of Sleep are angry, and have attacked (and slightly discoloured) the skin under my eyes. BEHOLD!

Here it is. Episode 5. It literally redefines entertainment.

Entertainment. n.

1. An artifact of thought and effort, the creation of which has sent its progenitors completely barking mad.

2. A type of hat made from osterich feathers and poo, thought to hold the secrets of the Universe.

Huh!

Kyle Purdy is a living legend. He wrote to Steve Jobs and scored a VIP ticket to WWDC. That’s some chutzpah, people. Particularly for a 14-year-old.

At the beginning of each year, most of us resolve to improve ourselves in some small way. Paul Verhoeven is no different. Or is he? No, he isn’t. Or is he? No. Yes? No. Maybe? I SAID NO!

Parked in, big time 

Parking. The simple act of stopping a car and getting out. And yet, it can cause so much heartbreak for so many. In this one-minute performance piece, I highlight the futility of a modern urban existence by exploring a line of cars that will never move again.

HAHAHAHA U STUPID LAMERZ R PARKED IN!!!!!!!!!lolz
