Write once, read many, explode once

Ganked from foenix: Why are there no 52x CD-ROM drives? Because some CDs explode at that speed. Witness digital media's breaking points: PowerLabs High Speed Exploding CDs! The video is great -- especially the fishbowl.

(and as a side note to David, in case he pops back this way-- dude, go friend 15000pages and 50bookchallenge ... if you read and listed 66 books from last year, you might want to read these two book-reading challenge communities.)

Hi, Kate!

I'm almost to 50 books already this year, having read a number of short ones earlier. (I'm about to make up for it by starting Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell, though.) Haven't been keeping track of page counts....

Oh, there's someone on there who is on book X of 200. :) So trust me, they don't limit it to 50 books. You can also count audiobooks and graphic novels if you so choose. It's nice because I get ideas of things I might want to read (or reread), or new authors that I might really want to look at.
