INTERNET LEARNIN'

I never had much of an education, so I've been catching up with the glorious information commons that is the internet. I hear that it's where kids are doing most of their learning these days. That's probably a healthy thing right? Here's what I learnt this week.

1. EXTREME GAY SPELLS ARE PROGRESSIVE

I like the idea of spending 200 dollars on a magic spell to help someone overcome society's issue with them being your gay lover. After all, it's something they "really and truly want," even if they don't know it, or want it. There's also an excellent Adult Spells section. For example, "Make Lisa attack me sexually when no-one is looking."

2. NORTH ENGLISH PUB RAP IS A DIFFICULT GENRE TO NAIL

I'm not sure what to do when I watch this video. It doesn't make any sense. I can't figure out what their motivations are. When I watch it, I find myself involuntarily moving away from the computer.

3. FLAGS ARE A COMPETITION

This website cheers me up a great deal. However, not nearly as much as it will cheer up Gambians when they discover that they have the very best flag in the entire world: "Great design and colour choice. Also represents the geography of the country (without being a map)," say the judges. There are a surprising number of flags with guns on them.

4. LOW-FIDELITY COMPUTER COMPOSITIONS COME IN HANDY

Apparently, this website is able to randomly generate musical compositions in a wide variety of styles. It doesn't really work in any way at all, but it does produce some pretty challenging results. I like seeing how long I can listen to a "jazz" one for, it's like being in hell.

Have you ever wondered what the largest island in a lake on an island in a lake on an island is? The wait is finally over.
