Introduction…
To waste time and to bring hilarity, though oftentimes dull and pointless, upon my blog readers and myself.
Theory…
Using random shuffling that comes with many modern mp3 players, one can create very oddly substantial but coincidental laughters by “twisting” the title, lyrics and hidden meaning of every song, and then rendering the product as answers to very trivial questions. This method has not been proven scientifically as correct, therefore does not have any rational theory related to it, and thus should be utilized only as entertainment value.
Method…
1. Enqueue all mp3s shuffled on any modern mp3 player.
2. Press forward for each question. Repeat forward if any replicates appear.
3. Use the song title as the answer to the question, even if it doesn’t make sense.
4. With the answers, give comments on how it relates to the questions. Even if one has to resort to “twisting the words”, as per Professor Z lectures.
Results and Analysis…

SHOWTA. - Tameiki BOTAN
I can’t bother to try to translate any of the lyrics because I can’t find any translations due to the fact that his first album EVE is so new. “Tameiki” means sigh and “BOTAN” means button so I guess when my friends see me they sigh and they think I’m a button..??? - Will I get married?

GARNET CROW - the first cry
My deep dark secret is “the first cry”. Google came up with the French film called Le Premier Cri. Apparently, it follows pregnant women around the world.. Maybe my split personality made it and I just found out.. O_o;;. - What is my mortal enemy’s theme song?

“Hitoribocchi no Haburashi” = lonely toothbrush. That’s awesome!! I’ll be a lonely toothbrush on my wedding day! Who’s teeth do I get to serve? Yours? ‘Cause you’re probably invited!!
Discussion…
This experiment creates unnecessary hilarity. Producing and analyzing the result take time and braincells. Not recommended for people without time to waste. The results are not extremely plausible, and many require certain creativity to arrive at a sensible explanation. The results of this experiment depends on the degree of randomness and the player used.
Conclusions…
I will be a toothbrush on my wedding day, I’m invisible and this weekend will be extremely gloomy.

Maybe everyone will buy you a single toothbrush at your dream wedding in a place where noone will see, this weekend.
March 13th, 2008 at 9:50 pm
AHAHAHAHAHAHA
March 13th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
I’m getting married this weekend?? How come I wasn’t told this?!?!?!
March 13th, 2008 at 11:52 pm
LOL. 4++ grade on strange randomness.
*insert sounds of (Lily’s) brain cells going down the drain* Hope there’s enough left to real work with!

[...] Due to the fact that I am unsatisfied at my results last time. I have decided to do this experiment again. For everything except Results and Analysis, please refer to this blogpost. [...]
