Came up on Facebook today.
No brain, no neurons, no nervous system... Here is why the blob defies the laws of biology.
-
Apparently, it is also invisible. ;)
-
Brut my blog needs a blob named Bob too.
Amazing.
It extends connections like fractals, and travels many "places" fast, and will retract/extend when finds good/bad, and finds the fastest route. Obviously, there are signals being passed about if one areas listens to a farther away area.
-
Which clearly sounds like a human...brain.....typical behavior. We are great at finding the fastest route to good and away from bad.
But at the neural level, maybe re-read what i wrote above...it has a different meaning then in that regard.

Apparently, it is also invisible. ;)
Can't see it again? I embedded it this time. Was working in FF.
Lock you obviously see it?
-
hehe yes i do.....delicious yellow hamburger mustard.
-
Hmm working fine here in Firefox, Edge & Chrome. Can't find an alternative on YouTube, sorry Art.
-
click the black screen....mine started after this
-
It appears to be an obscure video format 270p, tall and narrow. My Chrome was having problems with it too.

I tried Chrome and was able to see the blob.
Such an extraordinary experiment, especially with "mapping" Tokyo. ;)
We might do well to steer clear of such blobs!
I recall an earlier Blob...

I remember being allowed to stay up late to watch that movie when I was little. Steve McQueen, might have been his first movie?
Edit: Ah yes Wikipedia says it was his first.

I used to love watching the old B movies and Hammer Horror films...
They don't play them any more on UK TV... we get 'Love Island' or 'Chelsea Wives' instead of Boris Karloff...
I hang my head and sigh... when I was a lad...
:)

Look for the Horror channel on Freeview, they play a few of the old ones. They had the original The Fly on there a couple of weeks back and sometimes things like Frankenstein - the Peter Cushing one and all those Hammer Horror ones you mention.
I prefer those old ones to modern slashers and the endless number of Zombie movies they spew out - although I did enjoy the Resident Evil series.
Of course, you can pick these up cheap on DVD - I got a DVD from my brother with Basil Rathbone's Sherlock Holmes. I love all that old stuff.
-
I didn't even realise we had a Horror channel, I'll check that out.
I'm of that age where nothing scares me, I finally buckled and watched the Saw films, and just thought meh! Bela Lugosi would have soon sorted Jigsaw out.
I think it's the nostalgic value of the old films I enjoy... a bit of Basil Rathbone... steam trains... village pubs... tweed...
DVD? Oh! Those round silver disk things... I use them hung on sticks to stop the birds eating my lawn seed... explosives aren't PC apparently, lol.
:)
-
Haha ;D I don't buy a lot of DVDs these days, but a bargain is still a bargain.
There's a lot of supernatural films lately, but I've only seen trailers. A ghost story I enjoyed was that one with Nicole Kidman in an old house and butlered by Eric Sykes. More like traditional ghost story telling. The Others. Shock that's from 2001 - wow.
But yes I prefer an interesting story to multiple attempts to scare my socks off - like you I am somewhat immune these days.
DVDs make good coasters too ^-^

If anyone has or still stores data/information on CD's or DVD's and they are no longer wanted/needed, the easy, effective and oh so fun way of deleting said info is to simply put the CD/DVD in a microwave and turn it on for about 9 to 12 seconds. It will spark and perhaps sputter a bit but aside from a little bit of smell, it will leave marks all over the discs very similar to the Lichtenberg effect. It absolutely does work and I have done this many times with no harm to the microwave whatsoever. Those discs, however, are another story.
What's the Lichtenberg effect? Dampen a piece of wood with a mild salt or baking soda & water solution, wipe the wood, then apply around 2,000 volts to the wood from electrodes spaced about 4 to 10" apart. Better yet, watch the video for a more "enlightening" idea.
