Currently reading Jupiters Travels by Ted Simon. Really enjoying it so far - hes got a lot more nerve than I have!


Ah cool so you eventually got round to starting it :) Still waiting for his new one to come out on paperback.

Especially training videos that all americans and use things like scorpions and cars as analogies for some reason.  Its interesting but its dull.


So you dont do the funny suggestive voices over the top thing? :/

I mean taking a video and putting different words to it in your head, if not creating an entirely new soundtrack as some have done. You have to know what the person is saying in order to substitute alternatives.

I remember watching one that had a Texan in, except I thought about his accent being that of Tonto.

It can be useful it you have seen a video a couple of dozen times and know it off by heart. Bit like the ninja and similar lecture invasions. These not only perk up an otherwise boring lecture but can increase the amount the students learn from it.

Yep ;) but the people arent doing it - you are giving an alternative version of the text. Some bits are great when portrayed as gays.
