After reading the BoingBoing comments on the Conservapedia gay topics item, it seems pretty obvious that Conservapedia was "gamed" by bots programmed to reload the articles repeatedly.

Tons more from this artist here

And here's his website for even more disturbing images

I love freaky art like that. Thanks for the links.

I had to find out what sibilant consonants were and now I'm more confused than ever. From Wiki:

A sibilant is a type of fricative or affricate consonant, made by directing a jet of air through a narrow channel in the vocal tract towards the sharp edge of the teeth.

is often taken to be synonymous with the term strident, though this is incorrect - there is variation in usage. The term sibilant tends to have an articulatory or aerodynamic definition involving the production of aperiodic noise at an obstacle. Strident refers to the perceptual quality of intensity as determined by amplitude and frequency characteristics of the resulting sound (i.e. an auditory, or possibly acoustic, definition). Sibilants are louder than their non-sibilant counterparts, and most of their acoustic energy occurs at higher frequencies than non-sibilant fricatives. [s] has the most acoustic strength at around 8,000 Hz, but can reach as high as 10,000 Hz. [ʃ] has the bulk of its acoustic energy at around 4,000 Hz, but can extend up to around 8,000 Hz.
The spin-off terms shibilant, and rarely thibilant, are used to describe particular kinds of sibilant.

But I now have a new favourite word - fricative.

He was talking about the letter S and how gay people stereotypically lisp.
My job involves teaching the interdental fricative (TH). zis is hard in a culture where poking ze tongue out is rude

Wow. That's cool.

So is it multiple exposures of a rotating light that is constantly on, or is is a single long exposure of a rotating strobe light?

BigV · 11-26-2007, 02:50 PM

It's five kerosene lanterns.

Pigeon Point

Previously seen hereabouts... can't remember which thread though. Certainly some A/R dwellar will appear to comfort the poverty of my ignorance, and yours.

All you have to do is ask, and somebody around here will usually answer.

Five kerosene lanterns and lots of lenses.
