What Can't You Find On The Internet?

I can't find white 3-prong extension cords apparently.

Some movie which is animated versions of real couples talking about their therapy. I watched it once on a plane, of all things. It was probably around 2010. Googling for it brings up one zillion unwanted references to the movie 'Couples Therapy'.

There was a British animation that did this:

That's the one! Thanks.

median household net worth back to 1800. i realize that obviously there's not solid data once you go past 1960 or whatever. but somewhere out there, someone has probably estimated, year by year, how much a median household's net worth was back in the 1800s.

i'm looking for it because i was trying to make a neat chart showing how how rich all of the US presidents have been compared to the median. i've got the data for the presidents. not the citizens.

a pen-and-ink drawing of two men standing facing each other. the guy on the left is holding a beehive on the end of a stick, and the guy on the right is sticking his dick into the beehive. the guy on the left is saying, "WHAT FEELS AWESOME?" and the guy on the right is saying, "THIS FEELS AWESOME!", and they both have rainbow-colored confetti (or maybe flowers?) streaming out of their mouths. very positive vibe all around. I think I saw it on ilx one time. help?

hmm, I don't see anything

plausibly correct lyrics to "Cockney Translation" by Smiley Culture. The giveaway that the lyric-site attempts are all copied from each other is that in most of them, apparently "Cockney have name like Treey", which I don't believe for a second.

The version I just looked at looked ok but badly-typed. "Treey" is a typo for "Terry", right? As in Terry and Arthur off Minder? And Cockney live on a drum, not a brum. Etc.

I remember there was some sort of music video that featured a horribly-animated Godzilla-like creature. Maybe it was a Ja Rule video? Maybe it coincided with the 1998 film? Maybe it was never actually released, but it was very expensive to make? Somehow my Google skills are not helping me today.

Beastie Boys' Intergalactic?

Soul Asylum music video for "Sexual Healing" directed by Larry Clark and Harmony Korine:

Michael Gove's appearance on 'University Challenge: The Professionals', approx 10 years ago, I think it was Times hacks vs Guardian hacks. I'd never heard of him before but I have a very clear memory of him frequently hitting the buzzer to answer a question, being told he had got the answer wrong and the camera catching then him screwing his face up in this look of 'but how can this be?' bafflement/petulance. For years afterwards when I saw him the paper/on TV I thought 'oh, it's that prat from University Challenge'.
I can't find any reference to this on the internet though, let alone video footage, can anyone else confirm if it I'm just imagining the whole thing?

There's a passing mention of it here, so at least you can be reassured that it probably did happen.

Thanks!

I'd love to see that!

I feel like I remember it quite vividly, I know I formed an immediate negative impression of him that was subsequently reinforced by every single thing I saw him do/say, but maybe my present day familiarity with Gove is causing my memory to exaggerate how badly he came across.

This is another thing I think I saw I once on TV that I wanted to check if anyone else could remember:
A Comic Relief broadcast, around the mid 90s I think, during a segment hosted by Jonathan Ross. They show one of the brief 'serious' videos of a US celeb sitting in a chair making an appeal for people to donate, this time it's Woody Allen, earnestly talking about the vital work done by charities supported by Comic Relief. We cut back to Ross after the video, who says, mock sincerely, 'there you go, and if you can't trust Woody Allen, who can you trust?' followed by hysterical laughter/disbelief from the audience.

No record of this seems to exist on the internet as far as I can tell. Did anyone else see it?

The recording of Yngwie Malmsteen saying "you've unleashed the fuckin' fury" on an airplane after a woman dumps a glass of water on him. It was a big Internet hit back in the day, but as far as I can tell, all links to it are broken, and whenever I try to Google it I get his Unleash the Fury album. Can anyone help me out? I'd love to hear it.

The one thing you can't find on the Internet is the Internet, because if you're on the Internet that means you've already actually found the Internet. Think about it man, that shit is deep.

DOODLE-MATION (Screen Magic, available for Windows, $29.95) If you like to draw as a way to relax, this product lets you "doodle to your art's content." It installs in two minutes and provides a pallette of shapes, colors, high resolution graphics and VCR-type controls to freeze and restart patterns. If you like anything you've doodled, you can add sound to it and save it as Windows wallpaper. Very cute if you have 2MB to spare. (Netta Gilboa)

i am DYING to have that, if anyone does

The product is essentially a high-tech melding of two venerable childhood favorites, Etch A Sketch and Spirograph. The major differences, of course, are its brilliant VGA graphics (compatible with 16 colors, but 256 colors are preferred) and stunning computer-assisted animation. The creation process is remarkably easy: Place one or more geometric shapes on the doodle canvas, and define a movement path, shape behavior, and color scheme. Then hit the Go button and watch your creation burst to life. The 12 preset shapes are completely scalable, allowing you to bend, stretch, and shrink them to create new curves and angles. Movement paths are also quite versatile, including stationary, straight, circular, spiral, bounce, and magnetic (attracted to the mouse pointer). You can even draw freehand paths for the shapes to follow.

WTF this is amazing

i feel you on that doodle-mation. what i can't find is any reference whatever to a late 80's text adventure (with graphics) where you're a detective or spy or some such (a fedora is involved) and there's a phone booth, a bomb in a hotel, a cage with a gorilla, and if you got blown up you appeared in the clouds playing a little harp and if you typed swear words you saw a picture of your character in a toilet bowl and the only way to continue was to type "SORRY". i didn't just imagine that game - i know it's true because if i did there would have been all kinds of swear words allowed! in fact, if it had been up to me, you could have stood anywhere and typed "DAMN FUCK SHIT ASS SHIT FUCK DUMB BASTARD STUPID FUCKIN SHIT ASS GOD DAMN IT" etc. and it would have been like "Congratulations! You've figured out life!"

The original soundtrack to "Joysticks" the 1983 movie. I'm looking for the song "Vidiot" in particular.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085764/soundtrack

Look for Joysticks DVDrip & convert the audio?

The Wassailing Song by Blur except iirc one crap YouTube. I search this out every so often in the hopes it's changed: in the tape happy 90s, someone sent me it on a mixtape :(

It's been officially re-released on disc 16 here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blur_21

Oh shit! Of course, I never bought that because I was broke at the time, and when I had the money I bought the vinyl box instead. I'll hunt it out!

Thank you!
