One that Internet regulars among us will appreciate Although perhaps, from the photo, it should say ‘Door Handle not Found’?! Funnily, this would no doubt be a lovely metaphorical interpretation of what actually happens when a web page is not found – there simply is no way to get into the site :-) And finally, we definitely know where you can get a door handle!

Thank goodness they haven’t yet invented one of these for your home! We would be out of a job.This is a disappearing car door – and I challenge you to see how it works the first time you see it … or even the third time! It really does seem to disappear without a trace the first few times you see this door open.
Did any of you watch Looney Tunes as a child? You know, those incredibly violent cartoons that our grandparents and other childless adults said would turn us all into violent, angry, psycho killers by the time we reached our late teens (We sure showed those GODDAMNED STUPID PRUNES … excuse me ;-) ! Well, it is funny to see that even with the advent of all the new technology we have today, that comedy remains essentially the same, we laugh at the same things, and even door knobs can be funny (not just stylish or inspiring!).
If you can’t watch the video, the man on the left is shown temporarily affixing a door knob to a painted view of a street outside. When another man approaches from the right hand side, he takes the door knob and moves it towards himself as if he was opening a door. The man on the right proceeds to slam face first into the painted view bwa ha hah hahh!
And so concludes today’s lesson on strange, unusual and hilarious ways to use door knobs.
What do a doorknob and your bottom have in common? No, it isn’t a trick question. No, not that they’re both round, and it has nothing to do with having ‘buns of steel’!!
We recently happened across a game which apparently is popular enough to warrant a Wikipedia entry, although I have never heard of it.
Just to make farting even more hilarious, somebody has invented a game called ‘Doorknob’. The rules are:
Apparently, people are much more vigilant about listening out for other people’s farts, and calling doorknob when the ‘farter’ (that is, as opposed to the ‘fartee’s!!) is camping, on public transport, or somewhere else where there are no doorknobs handy. I’m not sure when the game is meant to stop then … it must all be at the mercy of the pummellers. Also known as the fartees :-)
Did you know that there are a total of 13 rules that are associated with this game?! I’m amazed, and a little scared. Here are a selection of the most hilarious – the others include things like multiple farts being associated with multiple ‘safety’ calls, saying ‘safety in a clear and audible tone, and no lethal weapons … only ‘swift and accurate punches to either the forearm or the diaphragm’. They are so nice sometimes. (more…)
We take offense to this (probably unauthorized) inclusion in the Wikipedia entry on doorknobs:
This is unedited, except for the bolding and highlighting so that you (blog post reader) notice it.
With all of Wikipedia’s posting rules, I am very surprised that this is still there – and that it made it in to begin with! I am a little amazed that it was put in to begin with. After all, even if you are ‘sad’ enough to like doorknobs, wouldn’t someone who graffiti’s a Wikipedia page with such an inane comment be even sadder?
I actually thought I was quite a happy person … until I discovered that I am sad!!!
One last thing, to the graffiti artist – you’ve got a fat bum and a funny face and I can see your knickers and I’m telling my Mummy on you, nerny nerny ner ner!!!
PS. The graffiti was gone three days after we noticed it.
