Sank 8 before I relized I was yelling at the fan to "blow! Blow!"

Excuse the interruption - does anyone remember a story posted a while back about an app that let you search for a particular image on the net? I.e. if you had an image you could somehow upload it and this site would tell you if it had ever been posted on the internet.

Thanks.

P.s. I love the trash bin game. :o)

Hi Eyebeams.
Don't know the site you are referring to but, there is another section of the site specifically for questions like yours - ask metafilter
It will get a bigger audience. Your question don't really belong here and some people get very upset.
Read the posting guidelines first though.

Fun. But cyrkam airtos is still my favorite. At least in the realsitic throwing wadded-up paper balls in an office wastebasket computer game category.

I was psyched with 12 until I read armoured-ant's 13. Now I have to go back and play again. :-(

Now where are the point-and-click versions of "pick up the coffee cup" and "use the keyboard and mouse"?

So simple - but I realized it was the sound of the paper hitting the can that kept me at it far longer than I should have been...

Forty four? Fuck.

Why did they take the quality "comments" out of cyrkam airtos?
posted by Human Stain at 11:37 AM on January 14, 2005

Yeah, it may have been a fluke. It was my second run. Now I'm having trouble hitting 25. I guess I should retire. But I could just be psyching myself out when I'm getting close. When I notice the number climbing higher, I tend to get distracted, and click wildly.

If you make 99 in a row, then this woman appears whom you can tickle with a feather. </kidding>

Is it just me or is it more difficult to hit a shot when the fan is on a certain side? I consistently make shots from one side while being unable to connect from the other.
