i love it tho. i'll just la la la laaa the rest in my head for the rest of the day.
for some reason one of my office sharers has a flip calender with fish on and i just started pissing myself laughing at it when i had that song in my head.
oh fish, how i love and loath you in equal measures.
I dont know how half of it gets on... but hey, its all fun.
Oh I know wacha mean. I was watching some of the "funniest commercials of 2004" not too long ago. 70% of them were utter crap. There was one though, from overseas that a way, a bunch of men dressed as sperm following this guy around... some type of condom commercial. Funny.

Yeah... haha, I want that advert. I love some of the odd foreign ones... Japanese ones are especially good. I remember seeing alot on Tarrant on TV.

Yeah they ran a whole series of them that were slightly different each time over here...
still doesn't answer my question though ...why aren't rocket launches done on a count up instead of a count down ...counting up gives you all the time in the world to fix any faults that may occur.
in boxing they count up 1 2 3 ...when it would be more appropriate to count down ...10 9 8 ....4 3 2 1 out!

Because they don't want any malfunctions, I mean they could push the lift off button at 5 but they wait until 0 so they can get it correct, also the crew know what to expect, a 1-X number doesn't exactly give the crew time to get adjusted to the lift off and do their job properly...you're right in theory but I think in practice, it's better to do a 10 downards countdown.
Just testing the clock, and I figure they count down for rocket launches because that way no one gets scared and just keeps counting up rather than launching.

This little finger on the right.
"Count from 78 to 36 backwards"
"78, 77, 76, 77, 78"
Drunks are funny.
Amusing maybe, but how did that make it onto "wild" :no:
