Feb 10 2009Boredom: Ever Wanted To Scroll A Mile?
Ever wanted to scroll a mile with your computer mouse? Me neither, which is why I just grabbed the sidebar and dragged it. A mile in less than a second! I must be Mercury, the text messenger of the gods. I want gold shoes. Anway, onemilescroll.com is a website where you can scroll for a whole mile and read about objects and their lengths along the way.
The One Mile Scroll transforms virtual space into an actual, physical distance. Take your computer for a scroll. Participate and add heights of things. Please only add the vertical heights. Be sure to check your measurements (with Google or other service). Once submitted entries can only be modified or deleted by site admin.
I give it less than an hour before "The GW's junk" is added right there beneath ant. And, to whoever does it: I'd like to thank you in advance for your generosity.
Thanks to Momboelitist, who once scrolled 800 miles in a week and lived to tell about it. Unfortunately, he developed carpal tunnel and had to chew his arm off.

I have no issue communicating without the use of profanity. Quite frankly, the english language offers much more colorful adjectives. The point being made is simply that in this country, where this blog is hosted, we have freedom of speech. The same freedom of speech that would protect this blogger (GW) in court. I find it rather disingenuous of him to post NSFW content and genitalia jokes, then censor our comments about them.
You're welcome GW... And it only took 8 minutes. Which still out lasted you by 7.5 minutes...

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max saw his own death because he trevalled back in time and was shot infront of himself as a child. That was also where the virus was released, and why he had immunity.

Hi guys:
I got a kick out of the kind messages you left on OneMile, but unfortunately we were just bought out by General Motors and recieved 70 trillion dollars in bailout funding and as part of that agreement we need to try to keep the site a little cleaned up.
It was fun while it lasted though. ;)
Cheers!

I have a logitech VX Revolution mouse with those hyper-scroll wheels, and its still taking me forever.

Yeah, I'll probably try it right before I kill myself for being a pathetic looser without a life... which is going to be in about... 3 minutes... give or take 3 minutes. It's still a good thing to be doing at your job next time you pretend to be working.

OK, So I am once again irriated at stupidity. They went through the trouble of cleaning up the penis measurements, fine. While they were at it, they couldn't correct the mistakes? The US dollar bill is obviously not 2ft 2.215inches in height. COME ON PEOPLE.

Darnit *Irritated*. Ever notice it's only when people are commenting on someone else's stupidity that they make moronic typographical errors?
