    Here’s a 75mb joke:

    There were 2 sperm, swimming along.

    One says to the other one:

    “We’ve been swimming for ages. How long until the egg yet?”

    The other replies:

    “The egg!? Oh. It’s not for miles yet. We’ve only just passed the tonsils.”

    Edit:

    This calculation is off by an order of magnitude.

    The human genome has about 3.1 billion base pairs. Each sperm has half of that. Ignoring epigenetics, each base pair has four options (A/T/C/G), so it can be represented by two bits each.

    All told, that’s 3.1 gigabits = 388 megabytes per gamete.

    Oh, in that case then, I guess that’s a 776mb joke.





  • YUS!

    That’s the very line (and the rest of that bit) that got me out of advertising.

    For the whole of the 3 months I was animating my first TV advert, I played a Bill Hicks VHS over and over in the background, wearing it out to snow.

    Bill Hicks saved me, by telling me to kill myself. :)




  • Yup.

    Wall street destroy 7 times as much wealth as they extract from us.

    Military’s unfathomably more times than that.

    Poverty’s very expensive too.

    So even a little shifted from military to ending poverty (especially hunger & starvation), moves the line on the graph substantially.

    To the prosperity of each and all.

    … it’s just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It’s only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here’s what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride: Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace. – Bill Hicks
