If you’ve spent anywhere near as much aimless time on the internet as I have, you’ve probably come across these pointless yet mesmerizing flash demonstrations of ragdoll physics and gravity in a never-ending vertical scrolling environment.
While these things tend to be “one-hit wonders,” I came across something particularly poignant on Digg today: falling Hillary Clinton in a Bikini.
Just splendid. If she gets stuck, you can move her by clicking her body with your mouse and dragging it around. I recommend giving her a good toss, stuck or not. See what kind of contortionist positions you can get her into by squeezing her through seemingly impossible obstacles like two neighboring boulders, or running on an anti-war platform when she voted for the war in the first place.
But seriously, Hillary scares the crap out of me. Vote Obama.
poor old hillary. on an unrelated note, are you familiar with this? it’s a month old, but of course it takes a while for things to reach south Mississippi
