Anyone ever heard of that ad parody for R-Swipe toilet tissue? It had a very proper sounding English gentleman (or maybe Australian) doing a speel for about a minute on all the wonderful virtues of their new breed of toilet paper. About the only line a can remember verbatim is "bog-dropping turd the size of a submarine" I heard it on an Amiga demo disk nearly 20 years ago, it was just the audio with the channel 9 logo (Australian TV) on screen. Other than that I have no idea what it is called or where it is from originally. It is possible that it was never widespread, or it could easily be from a well known comedian. Not really an internet thing, but being from the days of Amiga demo discs, it could possibly exist on Aminet, if only I knew what it was called.

. The only thing that I clearly remember is very last scene - where player A fires a single nail, the camera follows the nail into a dude at the other end of a long corridor, who then explodes in a shower of guts.

This one is very easy. I can't recall the artist or name of that series of photos of very realistic looking sculptures. The most memorable one is a reclining, floppy eared, flesh-tone pig / dog / human thing that is suckling a bunch of young. Another, which I am not sure if it is by the same artist, is of a large octopus coming through a doorway.

There's an awesome image that's more or less an artist's interpretation of maybe 50 or more pre-Cambrian life forms all on the one page. From memory, going by the shading it looked to have been scanned from pencil drawing or lithograph, but I can't find it on GIS anymore. Anyone know the picture I mean?

Thanks, might not have found it, but that was helpful. It's definitely precambrian, somewhere between those Burgess shale images and this: http://www.hero.ac.uk/sites/hero/resources/15641.jpg

Around 2000 there was a text based game or more like a questionnaire form that was about the continuity problem or the teleporter thought experiment... The goal was to stay alive through a series of choices, like do you get in a teleporter that disassembles your body and reassembles it somewhere else, or being cryogenically frozen to wait for a cancer cure, or have your consciousness uploaded to the matrix. Its pretty much Theseus' paradox, but with sci-fi and consciousness rather than a boat. I've been searching for hours but can only find articles on the philosophical questions it presents, not the game itself. Anyone remember this?

^^ I recall that flash thing, but not seeing it and the stay alive thing together. It could be, but then again It could also have been from a couple of years earlier which would be before the matrix / flash games existed. About the only other thing I remember from the original is that it was light text on a dark background.
