Genius

[tealin]

On last week's episode of Genius on Radio 4, Simon Grey [Gray? Greg?] suggested virtual reality headsets for chickens on battery farms to make them think they're free range and thereby lay better eggs. Well, the logical association did eventually turn up (as they do) and it prompted me to muck around with the technique that has made 'Photoshop' a verb.



This may spread itself around the internet but it started here, folks!

You can listen to this week's show (which isn't quite as funny) here.

EDIT [5 Oct 2006]:
Apparently Dreamworks has split with Aardman — to this I say: 'Nuuuuuuuuuuuuu!' And also, in a silly voice: 'Doy, I'm Dreamworks, and I'm stoopid!' I mean, Aardman's movies are so much better; honestly, Dreamworks doesn't deserve them, especially for how they've abused them, but on the other hand, without this codependent abusive relationship, what's Aardman to do? I hope they can find another US distributor (are you listening, John Lasseter?)... it'd be a terrible loss if they were forced to slip back into relative obscurity all on account of one movie turning out to be slightly disappointing at the US box office. It won the OSCAR, you bozos! Sheesh.

I did too (and I'm about to listen to the new one) – Thursday mornings are always odd for my co-workers. :) Can't wait for episode 6 – the guest is Armando Iannucci! I worry the radio/computer might explode from two sources of infinite awesomeness colliding.

I went down to the kitchen to steam myself (first cold of the season - woohoo!) and turned on in time to hear them making a joke about Sidcup in Kent, which is the butt of endless jokes and where my sister lives for University.

Armando Iannucci!!! That will be amazing!
