Astrology, Real Time Information, & TV Commercials

On the amazon associates discussion forum, some joker has started a pool to bet on when one of the other members might croak.... Here was one of the messages in the thread:



Speaking of croaking -- My nomination for the cleverest quick-thinker in history goes to the astrologer of the Roman emperor Tiberius. True story. The emperor was planning to throw his astrologer off a cliff and kill him in the near future. He instructed the astrologer to look at the star charts and predict the date of his own death. The emperor said that if the answer wan't the same as the date the emperor had in mind then he would throw him off the cliff immediately. After looking at the charts, the astrologer told Tiberius, "All I can determine from the stars is that I will die three days before you do." The astrologer was guaranteed permanent safety.

BTW, http://www.SIQL.com is now beta testing their new Guides To The Internet. Check out the [Astrology Guides To The Internet]. They cover Vedic Astrology, Hindu Astrology, Chinese Astrology, and more. I like their results a lot better than Google.


There is a funny television commercial running these days for Ameritrade online stock brokerage. I'd love to find a digital copy of it, it is pretty funny. I've been thinking it would be cool if there was a website with copies of favorite TV commercials...

The setting is the inside of a gypsy fortune tellers room, she's sitting there across from the guy, with a crystal ball between them.

She's telling him, in a high pitched nasal voice, things like:

	Now it's raining outside.
      Now your hair is wet.	
      Now It's late at night.

(you see the guys expression changing from anticipation to something else, as she tells him a few more current events that he already knows about)

	Now you look confused

(his face changes again)

	Now you look angry

(now he is getting up to leave)

	Now you're leaving in disgust

(As the guy leaves, you hear her whispering to herself, "Wow! I'm good!")

The punchline: Realtime information: Bad idea for fortune tellers. Good idea for online stock trading. Ameritrade!


In fact, here is a paid service to watch advertisements from their archive: http://ad-rag.com/ It's $2 per month to have access to their archive.... I didn't find the real time info ad there.
