Things you don't need to know...

No. Go wash your eyes!
Too late (probably).
"Raise your hand if you can see the subliminal message here"
It's an image used to test how stimuli are subconsciously detected (and what goes on in the brain, using functional MRI)

PS. I didn't see it, even when being told there was something there. Probably due to my innocent, clean mind. Or my age. DS

PPS. "Do you by chance know, how the professor presented it in the lecture?" One interesting thing: I repeatedly read the question as "Do you by chance know the professor" (I don't) - kind of meaningless (why on earth would you ask me that????). I didn't get the original meaning until 5 minutes ago. DS.

Must be an age thing, I don't see anything but an innocent picture. The dolphins, however, are a completely different set of equations!!

Funny thing: When you see it, you can't "unsee" it.

It's also funny that when someone reads the warning, they most likely search among the little details, which makes it even harder to see - this is more apparent at an overall glance.

Now that's a huge toad. Looks like a mini dinosaur.

I've seen bigger toads than that at the local bar.

Sure you have pics are I don't believe you.

Your probably using slang for something else.

Your probably using slang for something else.

How did you figure that out? This conclusion requires extraordinary scientific skills.
On topic: I believe that bullfrogs reach similar size.

Toads at a bar...never seen a toad at a bar unless it was cooked.

Which using your sarcastic reply about science he's targeting me with a slur/slang.

Urban Dictionary: Toad

A "Toad" is a human with "Toad Like" Qualities. Toads are stern, greedy and will Fuck You Over anytime they can. Also, some people look like Toads as their "Troll Like" Qualities overtake their Appearance as they Get Older.

Just the usual passive aggressive crap from JDR.

 

[bkrueger]

I was just wondering, why the joke wasn't obvious for you, and I am not even a native English speaker. With regard to your : I was tempted to post that I have seen bigger turds in the gaming industry as my first response to the toad picture...

 

[JDR13]

I'm sure it was obvious, but tater head isn't going to pass on a chance to act offended about something.

Children, PLEASE behave yourselves!!

Stop licking the toads, people.

The download itself is smaller, thankfully.

But if you dare uncompress it... then you'll see the source code is actually Pascal, and not assembly code as I would have expected! 😮 I'm impressed.

Maybe that vendor made the good call. But the Lisa looked so futuristic and powerful when I saw it in Europe, years later I suppose. As a kid I could only dream about it (then get back to reality with a ZX-81...).

Australia day.

According to my sources, the police@bergen had a fairly busy night. Lots of drunk people refusing to leave town when the police first kindly, then firmly asked them to do so. I'm really impressed by those people. Especially those that combine said refusal with spitting on policemen/women, attacking or urinating on police cars and ...

One of the arrestee wannabes was accused of hitting another person (not the police) with a huge piece of chocolate. Which of course is a highly criminal way of wasting good chocolate (not the despicable type the wife prefers).

pibbuR who wishes in this special case that Norwegian police was permanently armed.

PS. Those of you who are familiar with the Discworld, will see how this compares to dwarf bread. Those of you who are not ... who cares? DS.

 

[Ripper]

Crapulent Norwegians armed with large Toblerones could be quite formidable.

 

[Redglyph]

At least the police had a werewolf to intimidate thugs in the Discworld. Our world is so unfair.

 

[pibbuR]

And a gigantic dwarf.

PS. A quote is in order (as I remember it)
Officer 1: Was they [the attackers] hurt?
Officer 2: Yes. Self inflicted wounds.
Officer 1: Self inflicted?
Officer 2: They attacked Angua.
Officer 1: Ah. Self inflicted.
