Cephalopod Reference Burst Theory™ Rears Its Bulbous Head
Posted by The Gimcracker in Reference Burst Theory, Science on 01. May, 2008 | Comments
There has been an explosion of references to squid & octopuses (cephalopods) since my first post about them. I have been putting these references in the comments of the post so as not to clutter up The Gimcrack Miscellany, but with the two new references today this phenomenon needs to have its own post.
First, glance [...]
l337 AGAIN!
Posted by The Gimcracker in Reference Burst Theory, Stuff On The Internet on 20. Mar, 2008 | Comments
Twice in one day!
The URL to my specific island on my Ikariam game has an ID of 1337. I don’t know why I haven’t noticed before today.
This is not a joke, I promise. I know I could have just changed the URL to reflect the 1337 for the ID attribute, but believe me I didn’t. [...]

My brother brought this to my attention. He was dutifully earning rice for starving people in Africa at a website pointed out by Jonathan that lets you increase your vocabularical skills by guessing synonyms to increasingly harder words.
He came across a strangely familiar word with an even more strangely familiar word as a possible [...]
Portal: Chamber 13 in 4 Steps
Posted by The Gimcracker in Gaming, Reference Burst Theory on 13. Feb, 2008 | Comments
This is just amazing. I haven’t been able to beat this chamber in less than 12 steps. I was sure that was the absolute minimum number of steps possible. This guy does it in 4 steps. Four. He makes a few mistakes, but it doesn’t cost him any steps because going through a portal and [...]
Cloverfield vs. I Am Legend
Posted by The Gimcracker in Beratings, Movies, Reference Burst Theory on 28. Jan, 2008 | Comments
A few weeks ago I saw a little film – don’t know if you’ve heard of it – called I Am Legend. It was good. Dang good. Yesterday I saw another movie called Cloverfield. It was better. Dang better. And that’s saying a lot because I Am Legend got at least a 2/10 Berating (soon [...]
Celebrities Die In Threes, And So Do Cats
Posted by The Gimcracker in Reference Burst Theory on 27. Aug, 2007 | Comments
We know that celebrities die in threes, even though some people don’t seem to think it’s that simple. But I have always found my reference burst theory to be very interesting. It’s based out of a very scientific idea that things seem to get referenced all of the sudden multiple times in a short period, [...]
I Shouldn’t Have Posted The Last Top Fiver
Posted by The Gimcracker in Reference Burst Theory, Top Fivers on 27. Jun, 2007 | Comments
Not five minutes after I published this post in which I go into some detail about amusement park accidents, a girl’s feet were both severed above the ankle by the Superman Tower of Power (formerly known as The Hellivator) at Kentucky Kingdom. These kinds of things do not happen very often. To have something like [...]
Orthodox Paradox III: Conclusion? (Our Meeting Was Sabotaged)
Posted by The Gimcracker in Reference Burst Theory on 19. Jun, 2007 | Comments
I had to title this ‘conclusion’ because I previously stated that the ‘conclusion was to follow’, but I tacked on the question mark to confuse you so you don’t know if this is really the last post about the orthodox paradox. See, that’s what you have to do – you have to use your mind.
Since [...]
