The Cabbage Patch

Some fun stuff to keep you entertained…

Hello World.

I have a small assortment of goodies for you today, and we all like goodies, don’t we?

• To keep you all in that Olympic fever, I have for you a cartoon showing what could go wrong at the Olympics.
• Here is a page of stupid and funny things said in court.
• Everyone likes to dance the Robot, don’t they? Well, these guys certainly do.
• And at last, a game! In this one, a cartoon Panda shoots at giant flowers! Yay!

Well, I hope you enjoy my little bag of fun. And don’t forget to send any suggestions to orrible.cabbage@gmail.com

Musical Balls

Hello World.

I have discovered a funny video involving a man playing a piano with his balls. (Don’t worry, it’s entirely safe, and not nearly as disgusting as you might have thought).

I can’t wait for the future.

Hello World.

The future is looking to be an amazing place. Many new technologies are just around the corner, including Quantum Teleportation, Direct Methanol Fuel Cells, Nanotechnology, Flexible Displays, Plastic Electronics, Software Radio, Holographics and 3D Displays, and my personal favourite - Optical Camouflage:

Invisible man? Well, not really. The University of Tokyo’s invisibility cloak uses optical camouflage to make the wearer blend into the background like a digital-age chameleon. Shown in May at the NextFest future tech gathering in San Francisco, the cloak is fitted with tiny light-reflective beads. Cameras on the front transmit the image to the back through the beads, making the wearer appear transparent. The military has shown some interest, but we can think of some applications around the house when trying to get out of doing the chores.

Above is a snippet from an article in The Sydney Morning Herald. The full article is here.

The Optical Camouflage technology is explained here, along with some video demonstrations (scroll down to find videos), but basically it uses cameras to photograph the surroundings, then transmits that photo onto the surface of the “invisible” object. Here is a quick example movie.

I think that if these technologies really do come to be, then the potential devices are limitless (think an invisible wristwatch which doubles as a mobile phone/mp3 player and can display 3D holographic images). One of these devices is already available - it’s called mp3blue, and it’s a jacket which has an integrated mp3 player, with controls on the sleeve.

Now all we need is a hover-board.

Wow… Just wow!

Hello World.

There is no easy way to explain this, so I wont try. I will simply say this… some people really need to get a life.

Ahh… the beauty of cartoon bunnies…

Hello World.

These have been around for a while, but I thought you would like to see them anyway. They are all of your favourite movies in 30 seconds! (and performed by bunnies)

• The Exorcist
• The Shining
• Titanic
• Alien

While you’re in the mood for silly cartoons, here’s that all time classic BadgerBadgerBadger!

Bloody Google

Hello World.

As one of my readers pointed out today, my site has been removed from Google’s site list. I don’t know what I did to offend them, but it seems Google is trying to hide the wonder and glory that is The Cabbage Patch from the rest of the unsuspecting world.

It is truly a sad, sad thing that the general public will have to live without my little kernels of intellect, and remain in ignorance. Shame. Shame…

Hee hee hee, singing dictators….

Hello World.

I have come across a very funny video called Hitler the disco-führer. The name speaks for itself really. It might be deemed a little inappropriate for some, but it really is funny.

Like a challenge?

Hello World.

I have come across what I consider to be the world’s hardest game. No, really, it is insanely difficult. It’s called Balm, play it if you want to be humiliated by a computer whilst having your brain beaten with a jack-hammer. It’s that hard.
