How could she do this to me? I've got lots of work to get done today, but the this busy image is mesmerizing. I think I need to sit here for an hour watching the little blue balls wander around.

The idea of an incarnation of God is absurd: why should the human race think itself so superior to bees, ants, and elephants as to be put in this unique relation to its maker? . . Christians are like a council of frogs in a marsh or a synod of worms on a dung-hill croaking and squeaking "for our sakes was the world created.

It's much better with music.

You know, that would look even better if I were hopped up on Sudafed.

Gah! You've got me at it now! You bad bad person!

wow, thanks for the link, PZ! and yes, i did post that gif specifically to distract you; i knew you'd love it!

Actually, I think the most appropriate music would be the classic 'industrial process' music from the old Warner Brothers cartoons (think of the one with the two chipmunks accidentally shipped off to a food processing plant).
I just wish I knew what the name it.

Arrgh!
How about "I just wish I knew what the name of it was."?
Posted by: Mithrandir | March 22, 2006 12:37 PM
For that matter, what's the name of the tune that it already is set to? I feel I should know it - I know I've heard it before, but never with a "this song is called..." attached. It's not "Sabre Dance", but it sounds like the same style...

Finest example of irreducible complexity I've ever seen. Take one part out and it ceases to do whatever it is it's supposed to be doing.

Actually, PaulC, looks like intelligent design to me. *snicker*
Posted by: Nuts to Your Blue Balls | March 22, 2006 12:53 PM
Mithrandir, if I'm not mistaken, that music is from the beginning of the movie "Pee Wee's Big Adventure."

You're probably thinking of "Powerhouse" by Raymond Scott. I don't have speakers on my system, so I don't know what's currently playing, but my first thought was "Breakfast Machine" by Danny Elfman.

Just looked it up and I am, in fact, right. (Mind like a steel trap, I tell you! An IQ around 150 helps, too.) Go here for a [rather poor quality] sound clip:

Look under "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" and play the "Finale/Breakfast Machine" clip.
Posted by: dorkafork | March 22, 2006 1:31 PM
Yeah, Powerhouse is good, too.

I think it would look better if it featured George Bush Jr. bouncing around helplessly. Like this.

My 5-year-old was also quite amused.
Coincidence?
I think not!

yeow. not good if you have a ruined vestibular system. Especially on a 24" widescreen monitor.
