Just a little humor for you. Nerds everywhere can relate to this discussion…at least nerds that are willing to admit they got injured. Check out the video below.
Let’s start with a trip back in time, back in 1982 when just about everyone was playing Asteroids, young Scott Safran, a 15 year old from the US set the world record of 41,336,440 points whilst playing a marathon session of the game. Since then there have been a lot of people attempting to beat the record in a game that doesn’t allow pauses and, for the record, never actually ends.
Until now in 2010 has Safran’s record finally been beaten, this time by 41 year old (I’m guessing he’s not married) John McAllister in Portland. Mr. McAllister now holds the world record with 41,338,740 points. He had to go without sleep for 3 days and time his bathroom breaks accordingly. We can all sleep easier tonight know the Asteroids high score is still dominated by an American!

Imagine what you could do if you had all the time in the world to just sit around and dream up weird computer cases. Oh did I mention this was in the Ukraine? That’s right, these folks are just the 2007 entries in DPK‘s case modding competition. Some are gothic, some are sci-fi, but some are just plain wierd. Check out my personal favorite the Star Trek themed one.
The other photo I love is the one that looks like the owner never leaves it because there appears to be a jug of pee sitting across from him. Check it out:
