Even a web server has feelings!

A place to be entertained. Videos, jokes, games, and more.
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.

Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

I like the fact that they used the old TTY paper tape in the first part of the movie!

funny note: when giving names to the various computers at work mine were labeled : Forbin, colossus, guardian, Gort, Klattu, and Robbie from the sci-fi area! hehehe

Ron Howard is working on a remake of Colossus but it appears he's stuck in development hell.
Martians huh? Sounds weird. If Ron pulls it off,I hope it's better than the remake of "Day the Earth Stood Still". :(

That's the pretty much the same as the Marvin the Paranoid Android 404 I discovered long ago.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Don't forget beach ball.
