BLACK METAL
- nstrich: i'm not listening to that racism
- nstrich: why do you feel the need to point out that it's BLACK inky
Listen
Mayhem – Funeral Fog
From the infamous De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas, and it’s a damn good black metal song in its own right.

- zoya: "It looks good on my monitor, but when we checked the document pixels it seems there is still a discrepancy around the image of the 2. The CMYK for the black in general is C75 M67 Y66 K87, however around the 2 it is C74 M68 Y67 K87."

BBC: The mystery of Ireland's worst driver →
news.bbc.co.uk
He had been wanted from counties Cork to Cavan after racking up scores of speeding tickets and parking fines. However, each time the serial offender was stopped he managed to evade justice by giving a different address. But then his cover was blown.
It was discovered that the man every member of the Irish police’s rank and file had been looking for … wasn’t exactly the sort of prized villain whose apprehension leads to an officer winning an award.
In fact, he wasn’t even human…

“What’s up with all this 3D shit making a ‘comeback’? I hate to be the one who poops on the party (haha I was trying to be clever there but I just sound like a foreigner trying to learn idioms), but the third dimension’s actually been around for a while now. DECADES even. I mean it’s not like your grandma was telling you stories about ‘when IIII was your age, we only had length and width…’ and you’d be like ‘no one cares you old bat’ but secretly you’d be terrified that when you were old you would be telling your grandkids ‘when IIIII was your age, we didn’t even know for sure if the fourth dimension was time or an unseen spatial dimension…’ and that they’d be like ‘bloop bloop bleep bloop, brrrrp’. Because they’d be robots.”

Now, if you ever have read a book, you know that no book can properly start without an exorbitant amount of synergy. Yes, synergy. Maybe you didn’t know this. Synergy means that you and I are supposed to cooperate to make this a great reading experience. […]
One problem here. I don’t get along well with people. I don’t hold hands very well.
Any of my staff will tell you. At the Opening Ceremonies of This Book (a catered event with stadium seating), I discovered that the cucumber sandwiches weren’t served in tea towels. As a result, the butter hadn’t set with the cucumbers right… Anyways, I made a big scene and set fire to some of the advertising trucks outside. I smashed this spotlight to pieces and so on. I had this loud maniacal laughing thing going on deep into that night. It was a real mess.
But, since I don’t get along well with people, I hadn’t invited anyone but myself to the Opening Ceremonies of This Book. So it wasn’t really that embarassing. I kept it under wraps and no one found out about the whole ordeal.
So you’ve got to know that synergy doesn’t actually mean synergy in this book. I can’t do normal synergy. No, in this book, synergy means cartoon foxes. What I’m saying is: this book will be starting off with an exorbitant amount of cartoon foxes…
“Twitter spam. Really? Are you even paying attention? I’ll say it again, you choose who you follow. If you’re following a newsbot, you’re going to get news spam. If you follow a good friend who can’t stop RTing, you’re going to get retweet spam, but complaining about it is like standing in the middle of a freeway asking, ‘Why do these cars keep hitting me?’”
