these are terms i use as frequently as possible !
Proof that we're in the Matrix!I had a weird thing happen earlier... not sure if it should be under glitches in the matrix, or strange coincidences. Anyway, I was in the car at a roundabout, and glanced up at the sky. For a second or two it looked kind of pixelated. I thought to myself “oh, a glitch... they obviously haven’t got the sky tuned in properly” (my eyesight isn’t great, it was almost certainly that), and my mind then ran on, as it does to the film, and “What was the name of the Keanu Reeves character?” (Look, I saw it once, years ago, wasn’t keen, etc. I’m allowed to forget!) As I thought that, a car passed on the roundabout, the last three letters of the numbe plate were.... NEO.
OK, only a bit odd, but kind of neat
Video glitch, probably caused by the camera / software processing too slowly (low framerate), causing video tearing.I got stuck in a traffic jam here the other week so I’ve been checking in on the camera every so often. One of those cars goes a bit weird. I’ve not seen any issues with the camera before
Could it be a bird? They learn to imitate domestic sounds. Trimphones tones were popular with them back in the day.I still keep hearing a sound outside like some kind of computer start up, a sort of whawp sound. I can’t find anything like it, it’s not Windows or Apple. It’s weird it’s outside at random times. Maybe it’s the Matrix.
I have a black bird that visits my garden that does the best R2D2 impression ive ever heard, my folks used to have one that whistled 'happy birthday to you' also.Could it be a bird? They learn to imitate domestic sounds. Trimphones tones were popular with them back in the day.

No it’s not got a shrill like a bird has. It’s definitely a technology sound.Could it be a bird? They learn to imitate domestic sounds. Trimphones tones were popular with them back in the day.
You literally couldn’t believe your eyes, I guess.Not sure if this is the right place for this, but it was certainly like a glitch in the matrix. I was watching TV late at night a couple of years ago, but was really tired. I rubbed my eye a little too hard, pressing one eye while keeping the other open. Bizarrely, the whole image on TV popped into full-depth 3D while I was pressing down on my left eye. As soon as I released the pressure on my closed eye, the TV went back to a boring, flat, normal image. I just can't work out how my brain could interpret 3D when I had one eye closed, let alone project 3D from a fully 2D image.
CORRECTION: I actually had both eyes half open while applying too much pressure to the eyelids, which provoked the 3D TV illusion.
I think there was a recent case in the States where someone was released from prison having served several years for a crime he didn't commit. The actual murderer was so alike and had the same name that they looked like twins (far closer than the above example) albeit wholly unrelated.Two guys that look identical, who also have the same name, not related.
Wait.
What?
As they say round'ere, Did 'is Dad have a bike?Prince Harry look a likes too!
The milkman was ginger.As they say round'ere, Did 'is Dad have a bike?
Have to say thoug; in terms of likeness, the hats, specs and ginger beards are doing some heavy lifting here.Two guys that look identical, who also have the same name, not related.

Have you ever read Spike Milligan's Hitler: My Part in his Downfall?Indeed.
I look identical to Groucho Marx.
Or at least I do when I wear this get-up.

You'd be surprised at how convincingly a bird can mimic a technology sound.No it’s not got a shrill like a bird has. It’s definitely a technology sound.
Very true: a member of my family has a parrot, and it imitates aerosol spraycans, kettles boiling, phone/tablet ringtone and even noises like the weird modern reversing alarm 'rasp' noise which large vans & trucks have (this is possibly just a UK/EU thing: when I was in Canada, they still just used reversing beepers...I mean trucks, not parrots)how convincingly a bird can mimic a technology sound.
My brother kept parrots which learned to imitate his telephone manner. He was often on call for his railway job.Very true: a member of my family has a parrot, and it imitates aerosol spraycans, kettles boiling, phone/tablet ringtone and even noises like the weird modern reversing alarm 'rasp' noise which large vans & trucks have (this is possibly just a UK/EU thing: when I was in Canada, they still just used reversing beepers...I mean trucks, not parrots)
