The Hokey-Pokey is just a Body Part Rebus

Web Watch hasn’t had a NSFW entry in a while, so we thought we’d throw one in today just because we can.

Have you ever wondered about how much our body parts play into our senses (besides the obvious “smell” and “taste”, of course)? LOOK, TOUCH, and LISTEN are three parts of an art project called FLESHMAP done by Fernanda Viegas and Martin Wattenberg.

In each of these three studies, FLESHMAP highlights how and where our bodies are mentioned in song, how they look in abstract, and how we feel when we touch each other — all in unique graphical displays.

Today’s lesson: Writing jokes isn’t easy. Computers that write jokes aren’t funny.

A friend of ours is a comedy writer.

He always says that writing jokes isn’t easy. We keep telling him that he would have more free time if scientists would invent a robot that could write jokes.

He insisted that there was no way a machine could write something that was as funny as what a person could write. Web Watch tried not to point out how horrible some so-called sitcoms are, or how repetitive certain late-night talk show host monologues have become.

And then along comes the JOKE WRITING COMPUTER.

OMG! (I’m the adult)

Post author By web gangsta
Post date January 9, 2010

Have you ever had one of those days when something major happens in your life and you come to the sudden realization of OMG – I’M THE ADULT?

Like when you’re in a car accident with a teenage driver and somebody has to remember to take pictures, write down insurance info, and call the cops?

Or when you’re at the mall and you see a young man without a belt on, and his sagging pants are dropped so low that his junk is flapping around for the world to see, and you feel that the only responsible thing to do is to pull the lad aside and tell him that his junk is showing.

Have a question about poop? Just ask Dr Stool…

Web Watch would like to introduce Web Watch readers to Josh Richman and Anish Sheth, MD, who collectively are known as DR STOOL. (Web Watch will refrain from making any jokes about the two authors meeting while at Brown University, even if it is true.)

Josh and Anish have taken a practical approach to answering all manner of poo-related questions and have released a book entitled WHAT’S YOUR POO TELLING YOU? and a companion piece WHAT’S MY PEE TELLING ME?.

Do the math: Warren Beatty slept with a woman every 1.17 days

Post author By web gangsta
Post date January 4, 2010

In Peter Biskind’s new book about Warren Beatty, STAR: HOW WARREN BEATTY SEDUCED AMERICA, we learn that Warren Beatty has allegedly slept with over 12,000 different women.

Approximately 12,775 – if you believe what the book says.

While there may be some Web Watch readers who will applaud Warren for coming anywhere close to even 1/4 of that number, there will be a large number of folks who will believe that Warren has completed all those conquests… and more… without question.

And that is where Web Watch can step in. Because bedding 12,775 partners seems a bit over-achieving to us.

And apparently, we’re not alone in this thinking.

“2010” is pronounced “twenty ten”. And it’s not the first year of the next decade.

2 Comments on “2010” is pronounced “twenty ten”. And it’s not the first year of the next decade.

A new year has begun and newscasters, magazine writers, bloggers, and others are all proclaiming 2010 to be the first year of the next decade with all their “best of the 00’s” lists.

Just like Web Watch had to do during the Y2K celebrations, we’re not here to put a damper on everyone’s fun, but TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT THE FIRST YEAR OF THE TWENTY-TEENS IS NOT 2010, BUT 2011.

Remember it like this: was there a year zero? No. There was a year 1. And that made the tenth year, year 10. But the tenth year only counts as a full year when it ends, not when it begins. Which means that the completion of the first decade was on December 31st, 10.

Sure, there are those who will bring up the dictionary definition of “decade” as any set of 10 years that begin with a year ending in zero (ie 2000-2009), but that is just counter-productive to our discussion and will be ignored for entertainment reasons.
