B3ta Issue 15 - 26 OCT 2001 - "Stephen Hawking"
-------------------------------------------------

: STEPHEN HAWKING & DR WHO'S DAVROS - IN LOVE
  In the best animation ... ever.

  Two B3ta friends have been hard at work, in a
  mission to entertain you.

  It started when musician Andy Taylor recorded a
  robot voiced version of the song "Electric
  Dreams" and placed it on the B3ta message board.
 
  A man called Mike Trinder listened. 

  He said, "As soon as I heard the music, I had
  a series of images in my head. They wouldn't
  go away - even if I closed my eyes."

  It's the funniest thing we've ever seen.

: PRAWNZILLA VS. CITROUS SHEEP
  More weird animation from a B3ta friend.

  Remember Stuart Payne? He once made us a great
  animation featuring a bunny and a blender.

  And now he's back - and this time he's got
  prawns. 

  His creation - Prawnzilla - is fashioned from
  drinking straws taken from orange juice
  cartons.

  In Stu's world - that's the way things are.

: LINK OF THE WEEK: HOW OLD AM I
  Look at photos of nerds, and guess their age.

  Cal is 20 - and concerned about how old people
  look.

  He's made a site where you can add your photo
  and other people will guess your age.

  Cal says, "I made it for paranoid web users
  who are worried about getting old."
  
  Don't worry Cal, you only look 14.
