An office manager was given the task of hiring an individual to fill a job opening. After sorting through a stack of resumes he found four people who were equally qualified. He decided to call the four in and ask them only one question. Their answer would determine which of them would get the job.

The day came and as the four sat around the conference room table the interviewer asked, "What is the fastest thing you know of?"

Acknowledging the first man on his right, the man replied,
"A THOUGHT". It just pops into your head. There's no warning that it's on the way; it's just there. A thought is the fastest thing I know of."
"That's very good!" replied the interviewer.

"And now you sir?" he asked the second man.
"Hmm.... let me see. A blink! It comes and goes and you don't know that it ever happened. A BLINK is the fastest thing I know of."
"Excellent!" said the interviewer.
"The blink of an eye, that's a very popular cliché for speed."

He then turned to the third man who was contemplating his reply.
"Well, out at my dad's ranch, you step out of the house and on the wall there's a light switch. When you flip that switch, way out across the pasture the light in the barn comes on in less than an instant. Yep, TURNING ON A LIGHT is the fastest thing I can think of."
The interviewer was very impressed with the third answer and thought he had found his man.
"It's hard to beat the speed of light" he said.

Turning to the fourth and final man, the interviewer posed the same question. The last man replied,
"After hearing the three previous answers, It's obvious to me that the fastest thing known is DIARRHEA."
"WHAT!?" said the interviewer, stunned by the response.
"Oh I can explain." said the fourth man.
"You see the other day I wasn't feeling so good and I ran for the bathroom. But, before I could THINK, BLINK, or TURN ON THE LIGHT, I had already shit in my pants."

It's just around the corner. This is definitely worth a play through. The violence, the different character classes, the gameplay.. they're awesome!

Here's what Star Wars games will look like on the next gen consoles!

Can't wait for this one to be released in November 2007!

If I take them off...

This awesome effect is made by Jared Lim


Here's a description of the Juliet from the Oakley Official Website:

"HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) combines patented optics and PLUTONITE® lens material that provides 100% UV filtering and unsurpassed impact protection.
Flex couplers allow this 25-piece blend of X METAL® and art to fit naturally around the skull. The adjustable frame includes temple shocks, interchangeable nosebombs, and all the innovations that sculptural physics can offer. Chiseled intake ports bolt the contoured orbitals around pure PLUTONITE® lenses to retain the precise geometry of XYZ OPTICS®. Prescription ready."

I really like how it turns out in photographs. It has that deep red colour just like in the movies.

Ever since the first X-Men movie came out, I've been wanting to own a pair of glasses which was worn by Cyclops (James Marsden). A little bit of research and I found Oakley's Ruby Juliets. A few years later (2006), I finally am able to own a pair!

Ironically, Oakley cannot produce ruby iridium lenses consistently, so while the majority of the lenses are orange-reddish, only a small percentage of those produced are purplish. The one that I managed to obtain has a fair amount of purple in them, so I'm not complaining - much. Here are some pictures:






This is the one I have...









Here's one that is a DEEP purple. This is owned by one of the forum members in O-review.com, B_ryo.








For comparison's sake, this is a pair of orange-reddish ruby iridium lenses. Big difference eh?




And finally here's a picture of cyclops himself... just for kicks:
