Have you seen this video before? It shows a student quietly writing an essay when something starts moving rapidly within eyeshot of the student. Distracted the student asks the ‘thing’ to stop moving, well you’ll see the rest…….

quite vexing. I am done watching your videos
 
wtf? I see no reason to post in this thread.
 
vexing?! It's well you've stopped watching my videos because i found your comments equally displeasing :-p
 
then why did you mapper??
 
Where the hell is the video? It's a freaking banner not a website.

I highly recommend that moderators implement a new rule stating that all links are ready to be viewed or ready to be downloaded.

This is certainly not one of those.

i've deleted it, due to almost universal contempt (though I still maintain it was tremendously amusing in a surreal sense). However, the thread isn't wasted as I shall do another video and post it here in about 3hrs time :smile:

I'd rather not use RAPIDSHARE as a host, due to the difficulty people have finding the link. If you know a free alternative with the option to delete i'd be grateful :blushing:
 
I thought it was about a student who crapped his pants during a test.

Imagine my disappointment.

Those videos are supposed to be funny! I laughed after viewing them! Absurd British humour is what I excel at (comes easliy to me; coming up with fanciful notions). I also have jewish ancestry so I'm an odd mixture, engendering odd ideas

Ironically two of my biggest success's were my least seen, one with me wearing a dracula mask and the other pretending to be a constipated robot. Both of which elicited a few 'lol' reactions (rare for me).

i daren't go outside. i am a loner who avoids direct human contact. i prefer the internet to communicate :biggrin:

i haven't watched it, but i have a question

why do you post it on a science/engineering forum - just curious.

i mean you could post it on some NYU's Village People forum or UCLA's United Bimbos Anonymous board -- i mean there are many liberal arts type of folk attending higher institutions who would appreciate such a disregard for one's own life and timespace continuum around it

i'll post on any board that has a high membership with active boards. Give me the site addresses and i'll readily post there, the more the merrier :smile:
