Absolute Wildly Awesome Ad
(+1 rating, 1 votes) 
Loading ...Check the following ad… wile it does the “what the heck is this ad for” and makes you wait for what the ad is for, it still is pretty impressive the sub-texts… and very beautiful.
Our latest TV ad - featuring massive paint explosions - took 10 days and 250 people to film. Huge quantities of paint were needed to accomplish this, which had to be delivered in 1 tonne trucks and mixed on-site by 20 people.
The effect was stunning, but afterwards a major clean-up operation was required to clear away all that paint!
The cleaning took 5 days and 60 people. Thankfully, the use of a special water-based paint made it easy to scrape-up once the water had evaporated.
Keeping everyone safe was also an important factor. A special kind of non-toxic paint was used that is safe enough to drink (it contains the same thickeners that are sometimes used in soups). It was also completely harmless to the skin.

The Internet Inventor: Tim Berners-Lee
(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...Was wondering who invented this thing that is now a livelihood of many, and mind-blowingly layered these days and steeped in many having a desire to claim it’s inception, and this may be another, and the timeline I feel like i need to verify. According a Time article in March of 1999:
It started, of all places, in the Swiss Alps. The year was 1980. Berners-Lee, doing a six-month stint as a software engineer at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, in Geneva, was noodling around with a way to organize his far-flung notes. He had always been interested in programs that dealt with information in a “brain-like way” but that could improve upon that occasionally memory-constrained organ. So he devised a piece of software that could, as he put it, keep “track of all the random associations one comes across in real life and brains are supposed to be so good at remembering but sometimes mine wouldn’t.” He called it Enquire, short for Enquire Within Upon Everything, a Victorian-era encyclopedia he remembered from childhood.
Ahh… so according to this, the web was invented to mimic human brain functions… very cool, if you ask me.
