Sam Garfield modded this NES controller into a cell phone using Nokia 3200 parts:
As the night went on and the idea evolved, I thought to myself; “Self, why not make the controller into the actual phone?” Self thought this was a great idea and we set to work. My first idea was to use an actual GSM radio and build the other electronics and antenna. I ditched the idea when I remembered my old Nokia 3200 which I had sitting around.
The Nokia 3200 was advertised as the “American Idol” phone or some such nonsense. Because it has interchangeable face plates, the case was removable. In addition, each button actually has two digits on it, so there are half as many buttons as normal. These two facts make this the perfect phone for modifying - easy to get to electronics, and less buttons = less cutting.
After the first hundred years you are bound to get bored of the same old scripts. I'm only 30 and I can already predict half of what people (including myself) are going to say. There is only a small range of socially acceptable scripts pertaining to a given situation and I think I've heard them all.
I hate the examples of people who smoke,drink, and eat a pound of bacon every morning... and then they live to be 110.
If you ask my completely unscientific opinion, it's genetics. If you're going to live a long life (all else, such as diet, being equal), it's because that's your genetic inclination.
Just think of how much longer the 110 year old chain-smoking bacon-eater would have lived had he or she not spent years destroying his/her innards.
Likewise, the person in the documentary would be able to perform much better in the marathon had he not been smoking like a chimney. It's a waste.
So that begs the question; will a good diet and exercise actually "extend" your life... or will they just help you live up to your genetic potential?
Yeah Natey. its much better to live healthy eat organic not smoke not drink. And still die of cancer at 35. NO THANKS i rather live and enjoy all the stimuli that i can get my hands on. And let the end come as a surprise as it proberly will anyways. no mather how you live.
