This is a huge hit among my friends - we own it on DVD and have watched it at least five or six times. The kicker was that Wiseau and Greg Sestero (Mark) came to do a Q&A at my school - I got to meet them and take pics, it was awesome. That night, they screened it at Coolidge Corner Theater in Boston along with another Q&A - i hope they screen it again there, it's as much fun as rocky horror if not more

elle - so agreed. i understand theyre whimsical/quirky/for a laugh, which neatorama does sometimes, but i dont particularly find them all that great (though im sure some do.) as it's such a regular feature it would be a great idea for it to be a link rather than take up so much real estate...those people who like it will click

nice, except thats a direct quote from calvin and hobbes

i actually took a class at harvard with christakis, one of the profs who authored this study. not only was it a great class, he also presented his findings to us in the last unit of the course - the study was completed after some 35-odd years of analyzing weight and weight gain in social networks. he showed us a time-lapse movie that looked kind of like the pictures shown and it was amazing - you could see one large dot representing an obese person connected to a smallers dot representing that person's close relations/friends, and over time the smaller dots would grow in size (dots are BMI i think...) if i can find the video online, i'll post it in another comment!

i second that, woogie. why is neatorama obsessed with tokyoflash? the idea is neat but really only worthy of one post

nightfall did kind of suck. the woman was wayyyyy out of proportion- her hands were tiny, arms too short, feet too small. or maybe her head was 2x the size it should have been

fyi - Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett are the art directors behind the Gorillaz or something like that. Thats why the monkey king kind of looks like 2-D (notice the teeth) and fights like Noodle....

19/20....really? world class performance, extremely rare? im not very musical...once you learn the rules, its not hard!

this isn't a new finding at all! scientists have known this for decades, im pretty sure...it's interesting, for sure, but nowhere near groundbreaking
