I wonder how long it took for the people to figure out how much the check was for?

For those of you who are mathematically challenged, 0.002 + e raised to the 2pi power is 535.4936555. The limit of the sum, as n goes to infinity, of 1 over 2 to the n'th power is 1.

So the check is made out for $536.49. But you already knew that, right?

HEMA is a Dutch department store. The first store opened on November 4, 1926, in Amsterdam . Now there are 150 stores all over the Netherlands . HEMA also has stores in Belgium, Luxemburg, and Germany . In June of this year, HEMA was sold to British investment company Lion Capital.

Take a look at Hema's product page You can't order anything; it's in Dutch, but wait a few seconds and watch what happens.

You know those "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" commercials?"

They were just begging to be parodied and there are a lot of good ones out there such as these Revenge of the PC clips:

A man was riding the bus. He was sitting next to a woman who was reading a newspaper.

The headline blared "12 Brazilian soldiers killed." She shook her head at the sad news and asked "How many is a Brazilian?"

If you are a system administrator and/or have to manage and control programmers then you will relate to this online game. Give it a try

I know all about Black 47. That's the Irish Band named after the most tragic year of the Irish potato famine - 1847. But I had never heard of System 47.

Turns out it is a Star Trek reference as explained at schlock.net: "Midway through Star Trek: The Next Generation, the number 47 began appearing on Star Trek seemingly anywhere the writers needed a number. Shields would drop to 47 percent; 47 people would die in a disaster; 47 minutes would remain until certain death."

So when the guy behind MeWho.com created his Star Trek screen save, he named it System 47.

It's a free download (only 1.3 MB) and you can always uninstall.

Have you heard the buzz about the new ringtone that supposedly only teens can hear?

The story is that some store owners were playing a sound that was supposed to keep mosquitoes away and found that teens could hear it too but not adults. So they started playing it to keep teens from loitering.

But teens can be industrious so someone figured that if they could hear it but not adults, it would make a perfect cellphone ringtone - one that teachers and other adults couldn't hear but their friends could.

The Great Lakes Geek spent too many years with the amps cranked to 11 to hear much of anything anymore but I was still able to detect this sound. Can you?

This is a great reference. Who would have thought that Britney Spears was such an expert in Schrödinger's equation and Quantum Physics. But she must be. It's on the Internet so it must be true, right?

The lessons are actually very good and the Britney connection makes it fun. These guys did a great job with their site.
