[LynzM]

2. Dude, this rocks....

We are crackin' up over here! :rofl:

I bet if you watched this every day, it'd do a thing or two for one's ego!

[BrightBlueDot]

3. You think? :-)

It got me through the loooooooong afternoon at work! (Why are Friday afternoons as long as Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday combined?)

I just watched it again. I am so ready to take on the world!!!! :bounce:

I LOVE Stuart. :D

7. I'm crying.

As you might know, I'm the freak who listens to two sets of music at once.

This music, combined with Forth Eórlingas, is the finest thing I have ever heard.

A wonder - I just can't describe it.

HOW DO I GET THIS MUSIC? TELL ME! TELL ME! RESPOND, DAMN YOU!

[graywarrior]

8. Man, you are SO my idol.

[Random_Australian]

9. Wow! Thanks!

Er..... exactly what am I your idol for?

[graywarrior]

13. Listening to 2 types of music at once. I dig that.

The visual is inspiring.

[Random_Australian]

14. I just found the original excalibur online.

Now everything is going nuts. This is so awesome.

[graywarrior]

16. I'm happy for you.

[Random_Australian]

18. Thanks!

But don't start envying my listening and other skills - they come at a real price!

:)

[graywarrior]

19. I'll bet.

[BrightBlueDot]

10. I wish I knew the answer!

But God, it's great, is it not??

[Random_Australian]

12. I love that kind of music! Argh! Where can I find similar?

I wonder what will happen if I google 'excalibur'?

[Archae]

15. Sounds much like "ES Posthumus."

They make a lot of music like that.

[Random_Australian]

20. Copy... open google.... paste.

Thanks. :)

[gkdmaths]

17. Im making one of those for a guy I work with

who is always savin my ass.

thanks!

[Random_Australian]

21. Is there any way to save those anims to my computer?

After all, some of us are not blessed with wonderful internet connections. :)

[BrightBlueDot]

23. I wish I knew!!

I'm not a computer goddess. I can barely get mine to cooperate most days. x(

Luckily, this is DU. Someone can help you!

[boolean]

32. If you're using IE....

Try going to Tools/Internet Options

Then under the Temporary Internet Files section click on "Settings..." button, then click the "View files..." button...

Then, in the new window with the list of files, if it's not already in detail view, go to View/Details

Then sort by file name...
then find the file called "mighty.swf"

Copy and paste it somewhere else and voila....

I haven't actually tried this, and am too lazy to try. Maybe it'll work, but maybe not.

[Random_Australian]

39. Didn't work, as no file in here bears any similarity at all, even when I

look at all .swf for my computer, but thanks for the help regardless.

[av8rdave]

22. My ego is so swollen now...

I'll be even more impossible to live with!

[Control-Z]

24. That made me feel so special!

I'm going to e-mail the link to everyone I care about with their name already in it so they can just click and be surprised!

I love giving gifts. This is a great one. I'm so excited!

Thank you, BrightBlueDot.

[BrightBlueDot]

25. You're welcome!

It made my whole day today! :hi:

[Control-Z]

34. I've cross posted

this thread of yours in GD. I believe everyone should get the chance to feel so inspired!:) I hope you don't mind.

36. I'm flattered! Thank you!

I watched it this morning before I went to karate class, and I sparred *brilliantly*, if I do say so myself. :D

26. Jane Elliot of the famous "Blue-Eyed/brown eyed" experiment would approve!

Blue Eye/Brown Eye is an experiment performed by Jane Elliot in 1968 on the day after Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated to demonstrate what prejudice was to her third grade class. The basic idea was to separate the class into two halves - those with blue eyes and those with brown. She then told them that the children with blue eyes were inherently inferior to the children with brown eyes - they were denied access to play equipment, they were told they were stupid, and they were not allowed to socialize with members of the 'superior group'. The next day the roles were reversed, with the blue-eyed children treated as better.

The idea behind the experiment was to show the children first hand what prejudice was like. In this it was a success: on days when students were part of the inferior group, they showed lower test scores, less enthusiasm, and more hostility toward activities in the classroom.

The experiment has since been repeated with dramatic results elsewhere, with both children and adults. There are of course some major ethical questions raised by the original experiment - particularly the concept of 'informed consent'.

...

I saw a film of the experiment years ago, and again just recently. What struck me profoundly was that the children's test scores changed dramatically when the changed roles. FACT: Kids test well when they felt good about themselves, poorly when they don't.

42. I never even got that far

I watched the thing for 19 minutes and the only thing to click on was the advertisement for Jobs.com. I guess I am not destined to conquer the world.
