Cheesy Choice Links

My new favourite blog: Nic Cage As Everyone is “founded on the belief that everything in life would be better with a little more Nic Cage, the most unique and versatile actor of his generation”. Here he is as the Fab Four.
Strange real estate: A strange way to describe this property on Trade Me…. And a very strange place for a wine/beer rack…
What the web tells us about people: What girlfriends and boyfriends search Google for…a comparison.
Video Link: Does anyone aviation-inclined know what is going on here. Update: “The largest aerial fire-fighter currently in use is a Boeing 747 aerial fire-fighter, known as the Evergreen Supertanker that can carry 24,000 gallons”
1000 frames of Hitchcock: “…an attempt to reduce each of the 52 available major Hitchcock films down to just 1000 frames.” Go here.
Silly: A Living Photograph – Chris with a Teacup is like still life, only not that still cause it’s on video. Strangely amusing.
Dark advertising: It’s never a good idea to use suicide theme in an ad; but someone has posted this slick, but fake Audi ad of a guy trying to kill himself by attaching a hose to the tailpipe of his Audi to show that their tremendous car doesn’t produce enough toxic exhaust to kill … Audi are rightly pissed.
Picture this: Actors in art.
A saucer of milk anyone? Go to Zephyr WP Ad Agency website and you’ll be asked a simple question… A Zephyr is: A small child passing wind, a black and white fur seal, a wind tunnel used to design new zebras or a Ford. The wrong answer generates the following message…
“Sorry, but you’re wrong, and that means you may be just a tiny bit dim, in which case may we suggest some other agency’s websites, where you should feel more at home: Try www.sugar.co.nz, www.mcsaatchi.co.nz, www.mojo.co.nz, www.mrsmith.co.nz, www.big.co.nz, www.colenso.co.nz or www.spawn.co.nz.”
Video: A cool cheese ad…look out mouse!

Strange place for a wine rack or, why not put a toilet in the wine cellar?

Are we sure that is wine in those bottles? I’m thinking someone with a Howard Hughes thing going on…

The 747 water bomber is genuine. Evergreen have converted ad older 747 to do massive water and fire-retardant drops on large scale forest/bush fires.
There was even some talk of bringing it to Australia for the bush-fire season.
This video is of the high-altitude water dump test. For a real fire the aircraft would be working at way lower altitudes.

“the belief that everything in life would be better with a little more Nic Cage”
I think I’ve found the fatal flaw in that philosophy.
