On many occasions in the past, I have balanced a stack of fifty pennies on my left elbow, and caught all of them in mid-air, with my left hand. I haven't tried to do this recently, but I think with an hour or so of practice, I could do it again, at least once per ten attempts, and I think I could catch forty-eight or more at least three times out of ten, (the ones on the bottom of the stack are the hardest to catch.

I don't have superhuman reflexes; I just have large hands, and the length of my forearm just happens to be conducive to this activity, taking into account the arc described by my hand coming forward, and the acceleration of the falling stack, in accordance with the Earth's standard acceleration due to gravity. In other words, my hand just happens to pass through the same point in space to which the coins have dropped, at the same point in time, and my hand is big enough to catch all of them.

Last Sunday, when I thought HUBGFE was down for maintenance, I tried to reproduce this stunt. I have a bag of pennies somewhere, but I couldn't find it, so I used toonies instead. Pennies are harder to catch, but toonies are considerably larger. I managed to catch a full stack of 30 toonies, on my second attempt. I could probably do 32, but I like to stick with multiples of five. My hand is not large enough to catch 35 in mid air.

I'm confident that, given ten attempts, I would be able to catch all 30 toonies at least four times. I'd bet on myself to be able to do it.

I think I'll get a friend with video capture on his/her cell phone, to film a successful attempt, and I'll upload to YouTube. I'd have the rights to that clip, so I could earn some money from the advertising.

I figure people today are willing to sit through a three minute advertisement, to see a video that lasts for about four seconds. Then they'll watch it again, and Tweet about it. All advertising is aimed at that demographic.
 
Also last Sunday, I won a game of MS Hearts, with four straight Control hands, (ie: I scored all of the Hearts, and the Queen of Spades, in four consecutive hands), so each of the computer opponents had a score of 104, and my score was 0, (the game ends when one player has a score of 100 or more, and the lowest score wins). I took a screen capture after three hands:



Full size:


and then I thought I was taking a screen capture with the four game total, but I forgot to click the 'New Snapshot' button, and I just captured a duplicate image of the score after three hands, and I didn't realize my mistake until I had started a new game, and the evidence had disappeared. Shit.

Black lab in Seattle likes to hop on bus, take solo ride to her dog park stop

SEATTLE - A black Labrador named Eclipse just wants to get to the dog park. So if her owner takes too long finishing his cigarette, and their bus arrives, she climbs aboard solo and rides to her stop — to the delight of fellow Seattle bus passengers.

Bus riders report she hops onto seats next to strangers, and watches out the window for her stop. Says commuter Tiona Rainwater, "All the bus drivers know her ... she makes everybody happy."

Justin Bieber Tries to "Bro Down" With Keith Richards, Rolling Stones Rocker Calls Him a "Wannabe"

Over New Year's, Bieber, 20, hit up a tiny beach bar on the luxe Parrot Cay island in Turks and Caicos, where "there was an old guy throwing back drinks who said, 'Who the f--k are you?'" one source recalls. In response, the "All Around the World" pop star shot back, "I don't know, who the f--k are you?"

Apparently satisfied with that answer, the older gent smiled and said, "'You're a man. I respect that,' then walked away," the source tells Us. It wasn't until a few minutes later, when "another old guy and came over and told Justin, 'Keith Richards wants to have a drink with you,'" that the 71-year-old rock legend's identity was revealed.

Bieber, rightly awestruck, exclaimed, "Oh, s--t! That was Keith Richards?" and then joined the Brit at a table.

"Justin tried to bro down with him," a witness says, adding that a seemingly unimpressed Richards told the star, "Let's get one thing straight. You're a wannabe."

Sounds like a likely story, but it's still great.
 
Here's what it looks like in the HUBGFE moderators den, from a hidden camera feed, a while ago:



That's Wild Bill, on the right, in the smoking jacket. I'm not sure who that is in the chair with the blue and white pointy hat, but it's definitely not Morpheus. He'd never allow himself to be seen looking like that, on camera.

More celebrity Bieber haters Funky & Music

Seth Rogen

The Canadian comedian has only met Bieber a few times but it was enough to leave a lasting impression — and not a good one. “He’s a good example of someone who you meet, who you think you are going to hate and then you get to hate him,” Rogen told Howard Stern last year. “You meet him and he lives up to every one of your expectations.” Apparently Rogen was told the Biebs wanted to meet him backstage at a German talk show, but then the Ontario native acted like he was too cool for school. Rogen said that the singer had “no humility, no awareness, no sense that ‘I appeal to young, young people, maybe a grown man who works in comedy doesn’t f—-ing give a s— about me.’” Ouch!

Bill Hader

In 2013, Bill Hader also revealed his dislike for Bieber on Howard Stern’s show. Of the musician’s stint on “Saturday Night Live,” the former cast member admitted Bieber was a little high maintenance. “Justin Bieber showed up with like 20 guys,” he said. “He had a guy holding a slice of pizza. A guy holding a Diet Coke. You’re trying to fight through all these people to get dressed.”

Marg Helgenberger

Four years ago Justin Bieber wasn’t much better than he is now, according to his “CSI” co-star. Marg Helgenberger praised the musician’s acting abilities in an interview with a French radio station, before adding, “I shouldn’t be saying this, but he’s kind of a brat.” According to the actress he was fine with her but other members of the cast and crew weren’t so lucky. She said, “he locked one of the producers in the closet. And he put his fist through a cake that was on the table.”

I agree, I don't consider Sarah to be a celebrity, but I agree with the rest.
