That was kinda fun....

Ha. Oh well... I liked it. I admit to using Google several times.

Some were a little weird, but yes simple fun, not overly head scratching.

No no, I meant "that was kinda fun." I enjoyed it.

Obligatory link to notpr0n -- I'm sure I originally found notpr0n on here, maybe not?

Just how far does it go?

23 levels

I wouldn't have got the buchanan - lincoln connection without google, but the rest was about 6 minutes of amusement:-)

notpr0n seems to have potential, and far less annoying than the crimson room...didn't we have this thread a few years ago?

Thanks, that was fun. Now my Firefox address history bar is poluted. For some reason, I use the address history bar instead of bookmarks. It's fun to watch popular pages flow to the bottom and less frequently visited pages vanish from the list. Though, if I visit a subpage in a frequently visited domain, the subpage entry never falls off the list, poluting it.

Damnit, I come on the BBS to find that reference to the iPod connector specification, and I end up many hours later with no less than five Wikipedia pages about abstract mathematics open on my desktop.

Playing the above game made me double check the Fibonacci sequence in Google, where I innocently clicked the Wikipedia entry "just to see what it would say." Led me to Diophantine equations, Hilbert's 23 problems, Hypercomputation, Malament-Hogarth spacetime, and the definition of a worldline. At that point, I realized "worldlines" were what I'd thought up when concluding that the fourth dimensional view of an object, using atoms as the measured units, is infinite and, the time before and after the object "exists", its atoms belonged to other objects.

Yup, there went my Sunday afternoon. Now, let's finish that iPod integration design drawing I started hours ago...

I spent most of mine playing GTA:San Andreas. At least you learnt something
