OT - Chad's latest hi-tech smilie - Osama Bin Laden?!

Okay, so it’s a few days after 6-6-06, but this is kind of eerie.

If you freeze the “head blowing up” smilie in mid burst, it looks exactly like an image of Osama Bin Laden!

Chad, what is your REAL identity?[}:)]

I don’t know, I’ll have to try.

BTW, how do you play a CD backwards?

Looks more like Muhammad to me…

You have to rip it to either a *.wav or *.mp3 file on a hard disk , then use software to invert the track

or buy one of these: http://www.americanmusical.com/item--i-DEN-DNS5000.html

…That Denon Player looks like wild update…

A few years ago I saw a similar unit (not denon) in an electronics store in california, and it was neat the way the machine would sweat all the details making sure it “tracked” the music trace, and you could spin the platter with your finger, forward or back, and the player rode the “groove” flawlessly.

They actually make a device to play CDs backward![:0] Where are the conspiracy theorists when you need them?[}:)]

Ali? He never had a beard as far as I can remember.[;)]

Which brings to mind - If no one knows what the Prophet Mohammed looked like in the first place (since an image of the guy is banned by Islamic decree), how can anyone be subject to jihad for putting up an image which is deemed to be Mohammed?

Which is why it is so ludicrous for Comedy Central to have blacked out a supposed image of Mohammed in that episode of South Park recently.

I guess you could put up a picture of Sideshow Bob from the Simpsons, call it Mohammed, and be subsuequently given a death sentence, huh?

Please freeze and post frozen image. I have no software to do that at the library.

I was thinking the exact same thing when the whole nonsense began…

Of course what the true underlying issue is, they are asserting their right to claim offense, under the doctrines of “PC”, just like all the other self styled underdogs of this time.

There was an interesting cartoon in one of the middle eastern newspapers (maybe Jordanian, perhaps syrian) where despite the captions being in arabic, the pictures made the message clear.

It was about the balancing act we place between “freedom of speech” vs ‘social taboo’ and pointed out that we likely would not be so forgiving of a cartoon making fun of the nazi holocaust (violating a taboo important to us) while we at the same time simply write off a taboo important to the islamics as a foolish conflict with our ideals in support of free speech.

They had a point.

You could ask the same thing about pictures of Jesus of Nazareth. How many drawings were made of him or descriptions were there from 2000 years ago?

HOLY S*** Thats Creepy

You are SO correct, it is almost spooky

Found this article on how the same paper that caused the uproar with the muhammad cartoon, declined to publish a cartoon about Jesus, for fear of offending christians.

Small world, ehh?

Just click on the “stop” icon at the top of your webpage. Timing is everything, so you might not get the image the first time.

I just happened to have clicked on the “back” button and there it was!

You guys are imagining things.

I didn’t skip a single frame (asides from the first few with the face bouncing around).

I wish I had something better to do on a Saturday night [zzz]

I kind’a see something but would be censored if I said what.[:I][B)][%-)]

[:O] I think I saw Elvis when I rotated it 90°counterclockwise, but Jimmy Hoffa
at 180°…

OMG!! PRUNEFACE! , somebody call *** Tracy…

That’s Osama, 2nd row, 4th from the left.

Other celebrities of note:

The Grinch who stole Christmas - 1st row, 4th and 5th from left.

Dr. Saeas(sp?) from Planet of the Apes - 2nd row, 1st from left.

I think you guys have been breathing in a few too many dissel fumes. I know trains are addictive but get some fresh air every now and then.
