newnumber6Dream Foo! What happens when you're a comic geek and you watch Prison Break a few hours before going to sleep? Find out behind the cut!
Okay, so the dream was basically Prison Break, but things had (of course) gone wrong with the plan, and they were trying to escape but now had to cross like a fifty foot jump from a building to the outer wall. So Michael Scoffield pulled out his last ditch backup plan... a Green Lantern Ring. His was special and he could use it to give individual people the ability to use GL abilities for about a minute or so, or he could use it himself. The problem was that it was almost drained, so he couldn't count on it. (Also he was able to use it because he had 'no fear'). Anyway, he charged most of the people up and sent them to go fly over the wall, and then there were only three left... him, Teabag, and the Snitch. So they were asking him to get them over the wall too, and he shook his head and said, 'You're not going.' and left them there to get caught. Anyway, I was amused by it at least.
Oh, and, although it wasn't _Technically_ a dream, at some point in the middle of night while half asleep I came up with 2 lines of PHP code I could use to block out probably about 90% of spammers signing up for the forums on The Unreachable Star. Haven't actually implemented it yet, but my conscious mind thinks it should work as well. Now, granted, it's not the most inventive thing in the world and I could have thought about it while awake if I ever seriously considered it, but I'm still impressed that I came up with it while, essentially, sleeping.
Edit: Implemented it, looks like it works, have to see how well though, only a simple dodge hopefully enough to scare off the laziest spambots.
Also,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
irish_star and angelophile already posted some of this but I wanted to pass it along too. Group of improvers do crazy stunts in public. Like sending about 50 people into a Best Buy dressed in clothes that are almost exactly the same as the uniform of the people who work there. Or stage a 5 minute time loop in a Starbucks, repeated over and over again (12 times) over the course of about an hour, or holding a surprise party in a subway car. And that's just the first handful I looked at, there's plenty more. I wish stuff this cool happened in TO. Probably be looking through it the next few hours.
