Tarot card tossing

2008-01-25

Since I’ve been passed this baton just for fun, well, I’ll write a post anyway :) – it’s about a simple “personality test” (not really meant seriously, of course) which tells you which tarot card you are. Well, somewhat seems to be one of the most useful uses of tarot cards, anyway…

You are The Hierophant

Divine Wisdom. Manifestation. Explanation. Teaching.

All things relating to education, patience, help from superiors. The Hierophant is often considered to be a Guardian Angel.

The Hierophant’s purpose is to bring the spiritual down to Earth. Where the High Priestess between her two pillars deals with realms beyond this Earth, the Hierophant (or High Priest) deals with worldly problems. He is well suited to do this because he strives to create harmony and peace in the midst of a crisis. The Hierophant’s only problem is that he can be stubborn and hidebound. At his best, he is wise and soothing, at his worst, he is an unbending traditionalist.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

…and that to an atheist. Which I selected in the test, too. Well, I’ll re-interpret that „showing the holy“ (cf. Wikipedia) as demystify, explain rationally.
:bigsmile:

I’ll just toss this baton in the air, catch it if you will…

Five identical twins

2008-01-24

digitalkamera.de currently writes (in German – this is my translation):

“Birth of Sony T300, S750, W110, W120, W130, W150 and W170
In the middle of the night, they have been born, the Sony septuplets – and they’re doing fine. Among them are five identical twins: […]”

They mean the W models which differ only little:
W110: 4x zoom, 7,2 megapixels,
W120: 4x zoom, 7,2 MP,
W130: 4x zoom, 8,1 MP,
W150: 5x zoom starting at 30 mm, 8,1 MP,
W170: 5x zoom starting at 28 mm, 10,1 MP.

But, erm, then they are no longer twins :) – or do you nowadays count like that: 2=twins, 3=three twins, 4=four twins, …? :mrgreen:

Blot art

2008-01-24

Pollock Kunst

Via Julia, I found the Pollock generator with which you can play and blot artistically – playfully create blot art – blotting create play art… well, something like that. :)

Just move the cursor above the (Flash) page – click to change the color, press the space bar to clean the canvas. And if you want to know what Jackson Pollock himself has painted, see the image search.

I then created two pieces of art my self (click to enlarge) – anyone wants to buy them? :mrgreen:

Pollock Gen 1
“The carnival gene #1”

Pollock Gen 2
“The carnival gene #2”

Music Quiz 6

2008-01-23

Which 7 lyrics lines are described by this picture riddle, and what’s the name of the song and group?

Music Quiz 6

Of course you may guess or ask questions for the parts, you don’t have to know everything at once… And using Google & Co is, of course, severely frowned upon (except for confirming your concrete assumption or get all wanted lines correctly).

The solution, found by David: :clap: :clap:

“One” by Metallica with these lines:

Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror (the horror clown standing for horror, the lines for the absolute value)
I cannot live (happily jumping standing for “to live”)
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

And thanks to all for participating! :applaus:

Cellphone recommendations

2008-01-23

Apart from Bloggerei.de jumping on the Nokia bashing bandwagon, too (which does not mean that I’d agree to their business policy 100%), such an apostrophe on the start page does not look that good: :)

Bloggerei recommends handy's

Translation: Bloggerei recommends cellphone’s from:…

I recommend checking how to make correct plural forms: an apostrophe is always wrong.
