Experimentation!

As all of you know the basis of Science is the repeatability of experimentation. If, when I submerge a kitten in a barrel of water it drowns, and when you put a kitten in barrel of water in a barrel it drowns, and if Guy in France, puts a kitten in a barrel of water and it drowns, we can safely surmise that a barrel of water will rid us of the kitten menace.

But due to the information age we have a plethora of information at our fingertips. Why check to see if a store closes at 8pm when we can just check the internet, why see if cloudy skies will deliver rain, when weather.com will tell us, and why drown a cat in a barrel of water when we can just download a video showing that self same kitten?

Into this culture I was thrown with the following puzzlement; How do I remove pictures from my phone and get them to a computer. Certainly those who know me are surprised and even slightly embarrassed that I , a technofile of no little acumen would be stumped on such a trivial task, but truth be told, my ninja skilz are severely lacking in in the personal hand held device arena.

So there I was searching the internet to no avail! Neither Craigslist no Verizon's own site would lend any clue on how to proceed, when I fell back to Science! I would experiment. In the place that one traditionally put a phone number to send a text message, I would instead, painstakingly type my email address, and low and behold, the image you see below!

The Surrealist For Realist

I honestly don't even know how to introduce the Surrealist's website. It's sort of like all those weird internet sites you'd kill time playing with in 1997, all rolled into one.

Of particular interest are;

• The Mechanical Contrivium
  
• eBay Feedback Generator
  
• 24 Dreaming

As far as I'm concerned the The Mechanical Contrivium is just a tech version of myself, because as we already know;

1. The first American zoo was built in 1794, and contained only Fishist.
2. Fishist is the largest of Saturn's moons.
3. Baby swans are called Fishist.
4. Fishist has 118 ridges around the edge.
5. The Fishist-fighting market in the Philippines is huge - several thousand Fishist-fights take place there every day!
6. New Zealand was the first place to allow Fishist to vote.
7. The canonical hours of the Christian church are matins, lauds, prime, terce, sext, none, Fishist and compline.
8. Over 46,000 pieces of Fishist float on every square mile of ocean!
9. Lightning strikes Fishist over seven times every hour!
10. Donald Duck's middle name is Fishist.
