This is clearly not my cat. If this was my cat he's have one arm shoved down into the printer trying to tear up all the internal whirling bits with his bare claws.

Petr, I have no idea what you mean, but thank you. :-)

@Kol .. :] that, partially, might have been the purpose.... I don't know it exactly either. :] .. was I reflecting on a cat under the fax, and that it is hard to fax that way ... /?:] ... "underfaxing at its worst" ..
- Petr Buben
there ya have me ! :] .... see, to be honest with you, i saw this pic couple days ago, but i let it go, without posting it ..... what does that make me? :]
- Petr Buben
even a flat cat... faxes just can't handle the hair. You'd have to shave the cat first, else the hair will burn and stick to the drum... a mess! (I am extrapolating from transparencies, mind, i don't have access to a cat to test)

Hehe, Joelle. This is now tied for the 'likes' top stop. One more then, hehe. :-)

Hehe, Greg. Blimey! Erm, is that not far from 500 likes now? ;-)

Bloody marvelous, Kol. Wish I could like it again... too cute (and help u to 500 likes).
- Roberto Bonini
I couldn't believe it when I logged on from the morning over posting it and saw it was at something 200 likes! You all have a strange fetish with cats and fax machines, hehe. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Am I the only one who saw this and their first thought was - My goodness did someone break that cats neck? It still freaks me out a little
- Steve C
Steve, it does look a little out of place, but cats are pretty bendy. ;-)

They fax much better if you flatten them first. What?

So we can put this post to rest now. :-) 505 likes final count, wow! :-D Good night all!

My like is the last one so far :) - 509 afaik
- getalifejerk
did 3 people really un-like this? now at 506. wtf (edit: uh, oh, yeah, me and 2 + 506 others makes 509. dammit, jim, i'm an artist, not a mathematician)

"Bill Caudle, 39, enlisted in the Army so that he could get health insurance help pay for his wife's ovarian cancer treatment, reports Mark Johnson of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Bill was laid off from his job at a plastics company in March, where he had worked for 20 years, and searched for a new job for a few months before signing up so that his wife and high school sweetheart, Michelle, would be guaranteed chemotherapy. On their own, the Caudles' insurance cost them $1,370 each month, which they could not afford on Michelle's part-time salary at a fast food restaurant. The four-year commitment means Bill will miss all of his youngest daughter's four years of high school. Chelsea, the daughter, cried when her mother told her. Bill left for processing and basic training October 6. The next day, once he was officially processed, his Army health coverage started."

Few inventions have lent themselves to as little improvement over the years as the simple fan, with its whirring blades that blow air across a desk or through a room. But now even the conventional fan has been transformed. James Dyson, the British inventor behind the vacuums that bear his name, has come up with an incredibly simple-looking, circular fan that has no blades. It uses "Air Multiplier" technology to push 119 gallons of smooth air out every second.
- Derrick
Here's how the new setup works: Air is pulled into the machine's cylindrical base with an impeller that draws from jet-engine technology. The air rushes up into a hollow ring. The air is then forced out of a 1.3-millimeter-wide slit (less than 1/16th of an inch) that runs all around the ring. Here's the tricky part, developed during four years of testing: As the air exits through the...

- Derrick
As the air exits the loop, the lower pressure pulls air from behind the fan along with it, and air around the front of the fan also gets pulled into the stream. That's simple physics. But it was the wing-like ramp that served as a breakthrough. "We realized that this inducement, or amplification, effect could be further enhanced by passing airflow over a ramp,” said James Dyson. “This...

I know at least one person who will want this immediately.
- Andrizzle Gizzle
Wow, that's pretty f'in awesome. Can't wait to see this trickle down to the masses. Me wants a bladeless fan!
- Chieze Okoye
Well, not 100% bladeless (there are blades in the impeller part, most likely), but I can see how the air is delivered much more smoothly in this way. Awesome and practical, but "worth a ~30x markup over a bargain bin fan" awesome? Not quite.
- Chieze Okoye
I think so. There are no moving parts in that circle, just air moving around due to a clever application of physics.
- Chieze Okoye
Since I read about this for the first time, I've been wondering 1) how much noise does one make 2) how well the technology would work in computers and other gadgets.
- Jemm
I wonder if this idea is applicable to propulsion. Imagine a boat/ship that didn't kill or harm any animals in the blades because there were no blades that were accessible. The animals would be sucked through the ring and that's it. Disheveled probably, but not dead or seriously hurt. There's still the issue of the intake, but it seems like you could easily grate that off (like on this fan)
- Chieze Okoye
What I want to know is whether or not it will help me vacuum in hard-to-reach places (oh, wait, I'm think of the Dyson ball vac or whatever it's called - looks like the same guy, though).
- Curtiss Grymala
@Curtiss: Same guy. His inventions either suck or blow, apparently ;)
- Jemm
Suck and blow are just opposite ends of the same stick.

"Earlier this week, 1.5 million people filled the streets of Berlin, Germany to watch a several-day performance by France's Royal de Luxe street theatre company titled "The Berlin Reunion". Part of the celebrations of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Reunion show featured two massive marionettes, the Big Giant, a deep-sea diver, and his niece, the Little Giantess. The storyline of the performance has the two separated by a wall, thrown up by "land and sea monsters". The Big Giant has just returned from a long and difficult - but successful - expedition to destroy the wall, and now the two are walking the streets of Berlin, seeking each other after many years apart. I'll let the photos below tell the rest of the story."

One of the last photos of the Big Giant and his Niece holding each other actually caught me off guard and I teared up a bit. It's a very fascinating photo story

I try not to swear myself, nor chide others. I suppose there are other ways to go about it but this is where I am for now. Conference definitely helps me recharge.

Just by being on FriendFeed you've entered into a binding agreement to become LDS members. Didn't you know?? :o

I heard the LDS Church bought FriendFeed
- Jesse Stay
Josh is the shit, just so all you bitches are aware! He's the best of 3 brothers in almost every way. He isn't the tallest, as our brother Sean is somewhere around 6' 3" or taller....And he isn't the cutest,..because....well, you know....:-) But he IS the mostest awesomest of all. He may drop a swear word from time to time, but that's just him trying to imitate his foul mouthed older brother Morgan. Watch out for him.He's a real motherfucking piece of work. Sexy as all hell, but kinda fucked in the head.
- Morgan Haley
He ain't heavy, he's my brot-...wait, no, yeah, he's very heavy, AND he's my brother.
- Josh Haley
Clearly, Morgan is the preacher in the family. X-D
- nakachi
I have to admit one or two times I have 'crossed the language line' to get a laugh out of Josh, but that's cause I love him so dearly (that doesn't make sense outside my head though). There are very very few people i would do anything for, Josh and his family are one of them...
- Johnny Worthington
You should all be very proud of Josh. For him to publicly admit that I am indeed his brother, despite all my many thousands of character flaws and social defects, is an example of his greatness. His heart is pure and his attention span is....um....huh? what we're we just talking about?
- Morgan Haley
And in the end, swear words, profanity, cursing, whatever you call it - if used as a tool (like in traffic, to let the steam off in small doses, thereby preventing meltdowns) and if not used with true hatred in one's heart, these are all just words that some human decided to be taboo or inappropriate. Words can be used to hurt. And there is a time a place for reverence. But think about the words you use when you swear. Where did they come from? What do they mean. Is 'shizzle' more OK to say than 'shit'?
- Morgan Haley
Well, being the one of the three that was actually IN the navy, and CAN, when the mood takes him, swear like a sailor, I can speak with authority on the uses of profanity. I don't use it much, compared to many in my social circles, so it has more impact when I do. I generally use it to bold or italicize my points. And I am closer to 6'0 than 6'3", but still the biggest brother. Oh yeah, and oldest.
- Sean Haley
Just need my mom to comment here and this thread will be complete. Hi Sean!
- Josh Haley
I didn't see profanity in the Mormon church until I moved to Utah My wife, who grew up here, has taught me much. (although I still avoid it) :-)
- Jesse Stay
It's a family reunion! Need to get my brother commenting here now.

I think the Haley family should podcast their Family Home Evenings and share them on FriendFeed

Well, Tad, I know from Akiva and Rochelle there's at least one escape clause. Even though St. Louis FF Jews, all one of us, are not quite like the Seattle contingent. Google the words German, Reform and Cincinnati and you'll get that history. The date 1848 is optional.
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
Morgan puts the 'F' in 'FFHE'. Sean has the Navy training to swear like a sailor. But I've commuted on Los Angeles freeways for the last 15 years. I can make various mother references that would make Jay and Silent Bob cringe. And I can do it in 4 different languages. Bitches!
