For a second I thought you were posting about the Hitler rap video.

This is more "look what the woman in the office who always forwards mail has forwarded to me today":

quote:
!!! BREAD IS DANGEROUS !!!
Research on bread indicates that:

1. More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users.
2. Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below average on standardized tests.
3. In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and influenza ravaged whole nations.

4. More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread.
5. Bread is made from a substance called "dough." It has been proven that as little as one pound of dough can be used to suffocate a mouse. The average American eats more bread than that in one month!

6. Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low incidence of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and osteoporosis.
7. Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water to eat begged for bread after as little as two days.
8. Bread is often a "gateway" food item, leading the user to "harder" items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter, and even cold cuts.
9. Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more than 90 percent water, it follows that eating bread could lead to your body being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into a soggy, gooey bread-pudding person.

10. Newborn babies can choke on bread.
11. Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit! That kind of heat can kill an adult in less than one minute.
12. Most American bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish between significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical babbling.

Heh heh heh! Now that is fun!

That's the problem with this whole intarweb thingie... light speed communication vs. the extreme difficulty of applying security patches to real world devices.

Can't remember that song name?

Why not tap out the melody using your spacebar and the site will do the rest (only finds the name and lyrics, not the song, unfortunately).

I'm trying with the first verse of Temple Of Love by The Sisters Of Mercy, but no luck, even after several tries. The matches it gave weren't anywhere close either. Oh well.

Hmmm. It had a coronary when I fed it "Bohemian Rhapsody", but managed to recognise "God save the Queen".

It failed on Down Town, but worked on Auld Lang Syne (although the 2nd choice was Smells Like Teen Spirit) and failed again on Bowie's Changes.

It has an eclectic taste - it seems to like Ian Brown and The Smiths, and seems to like a song called Enter Sandman.

I got Bohemian Rhapsody when I tapped it in. Are you holding the space down when there is a long note? Maybe that's why you are not getting matches.

Got Downtown as well. I think how fast you enter the song affects the hits. When I did it a bit fast, it totally lost it. However when I slowed it down a bit, I got Downtown by Petula Clark.

Yeah, it probably says more about my sense of rhythm than the programs abilities.

I got... rhyth... um... I... got mus... ic

Shit, I even had to look up how to spell rhythm.
