Due to technical bit of goofiness anything that touches videotape (or gets broadcast, turns out) needs to be 23.98 or 29.97 FPS.

What I just learned was the reason for that technical goofiness (the inclusion of color information in the signal), after years of working with it.

I like this a lot. It is either the brightest or the darkest thing I have ever read here. Hard to decide which.

I like it in either event.

I learned today that dolphins are really just gay sharks...

Film is shot at 24 but the projector's shutter typically interrupts the light 48 times per second, i.e. each frame is flashed twice.

The frame rate was standardized at 24 frames-per-second in 1926, when sound was introduced. Prior to that, films were shot at frame rates as slow as 16 frames-per-second. That's why old silent films often look fast and jerky when run at the higher speed.

(Probably also why silent-era porn films are so hard to come by, so to speak. )

I learned that washing Viagra gel packets and putting them in the dryer with your clothes stains and colors the clothes so that they are not usable. Plus, they are hard to find in the USA.

However, on the bright side - No starch is required with this method.

Well, they are actually called Kamagra. They are from India. They don't give you headaches like the pill and they come in different flavors. They are also quicker to work. Usually in about 15 minutes. In Thailand, they cost about 1.50 a pack.

I learned that my best female friend cleanses her skin by rubbing her own urine onto her face in the morning and at night - and that her boyfriend doesn't know this.

Imagine when he kisses her cheek?

To cleanse her pores, the Modern Miss

Will often douse her face with piss.

And should she find her eyelids droop,

She'll sometimes add a bit of poop.

I know! Aparantely a lot of girls do this.

It makes me want to never make out with a girl again!

I wonder if I can get my coffee buddies down at the truck stop to buy that explanation?

[BiBottomBoy]

Ha!

Yeah, the older I get the less bi I get.

It's hard for me to get motivated for pussy these days.

I also figured out that I am bi. But the 2 things I want to have sex with are good looking guys and not so good looking guys.

I always thought bi-sexual meant you had to buy your sex for $$$

If that is the case, I am certainly one of the most BI guys you could meet.

It is funny how over time sexuality can be fluid to the point where you once liked both girls and boys and then one start to not want to interact with tuna at all, and instead stick with an all beef diet.

I find myself going on a roller coaster ride with sex. I started out liking only guys. I then dated girls and had sex with guys. Now, I date guys but occasionally like sex with a girl. I find that most of us are bisexual in nature and few are 100 percent gay or straight. I would say I hoover around the 93 percent mark (gay).

I learned that playing tennis with a 13 year old doesn't mean you have an advantage just because they are new to the game. They run like hell and get every fucking ball you hit!

Put me down as 114% gay - none of this bi nonsense for me. :-)

Oz, when you do a girl do you find you do things differently than you would with a guy? Do you go down on them or just fuck? Do you go for vaginal or try for anal?
