The Fun Stuff, Jokes, Links, ETC. thread is getting a bit long so I was thinking about starting two new threads. This one for cool links and videos and the other one I already started for jokes.

Got this in an email today:
The object of the game is to move the red block around without getting hit by the blue blocks or touching the black walls.
If you can go longer than 18 seconds you are phenomenal. It's been said that the US Air Force uses this for fighter pilots. They are expected to go for at least 2 minutes.
I'm good for about 21, hit one 22.468. If I remember correctly, a slower machine makes this easier. Unfortunately, I'm not on one of my slow boxes right now...
Be honest...I got a 63% first and only time thru it.

First time 93% (I timed out on one of them); second time 100%.
I had a mantra the second time. I repeated over and over, "The COLOR of the word; the COLOR is ______." Sometimes it still took two or three times for it to click in my head.

75% and i didn't realize 4 seconds could be so long... I think I mostly screwed up because I was trying to click an answer faster than I needed to...
I just read today where the battery from a Prius is so carbon-heavy that one needs to drive about 46,000 miles just to make up the difference in the carbon footprint just for that battery. A crappy car which actually hurts the environment (the only reason to get it). Nice.
Sarge, would you drop me an email when you get a moment?
Box...that one only goes to level 10. Its fun though.

How did you do it? I'm still stuck on 7. A guy at work got to 9 by buidling nothing but those large cannons.

Start out with all 5 of the $200 guns in a row up and down the middle of the second zig-zag. After 2 rounds you get $600 and buy a cannon. I usually place it near the end. There is a twisted turn that has road on 3 sides of it. Place it in the middle of that road. From there, you start to buy the $200 cannons and line the inside of the long runs (use the inside, due to their range, they get the tanks going up 1 side and down the other, quite effective).
Occassionaly buy a $600 cannon and always put them on the inside of turns to make the maximum use of their range. Towards the beginning and middle you want as many of the $200 guns as possible and none of the $600 guns. This because the $600 guns blow up the heavy slow tanks too fast and the really fast moving cars on level 7 get thru too quick (the slow moving tanks slow them down so the $200 cannons blow them up early. Then use all the $600 guns and a bunch of the $200 guns at the end for heavy hitting. I found its best to ignore the $400 guns.

I got close to passing level 10. One trick is that if you have money you can buy in middle of the round. The more cannons you buy in a round the less stuff gets through and the more points you get. I buy only 200 cannons until round 7. Then I start getting 400 and 600 as fast as I can buy them.

Beat it. Yes, you do have to buy guns in the middle of the round constantly and place strategically. I used Khahan's method at first, but then started adding canons at the very front as well. The speed demons are the only real problem. If you have enough firepower at the very front and the very back, you'll be okay. I stacked the middle with the light cannons.

I did a 9 picture mix I did hanging out of my window of my backyard. I came out just amazing.
