CEDs are conductive vinyl platters that are 30.0 cm (11.8 in) in diameter. To avoid using the metric system to name their discs, they were called "12 inch discs" even though they were actually slightly smaller. Each side of the disc has grooves that are about 19 miles long and are 37 times smaller than the grooves on a regular phonograph record. When the disc is playing, it spins at about 450 times per minute and each rotation of the disc contained several frames of audio and visual information.
To read the disc, a titanium needle was placed very lightly on the outer edge of the disc. A small electric current was then passed thru the center of the needle, where it would touch the bottom of the groove and read the audio information, which was stored in small holes. The needle would read these by detecting how much air was between the needle and the pit and then the electronics of the player would convert these into audio. The visual information was stored in the grooves and were read like a regular phonograph record. As the needle passed over the grooves, it would vibrate and the player would convert the vibrations into the pictures.

Get the Capacitance Electronic Disc mug.Static Electric Penis is a penis that is charged with static electrity and when in close proximity to a grounding opportunity(another person) the charge will arc from the penis to the grounding source(other person) with a electric spark and audible crack.
The best enviroment to charge a static electric penis is during the winter. A radiator heating system and carpeting are key. Flannel pj's are effective in building and storing the charge. Be sure they rub against the carpet while shuffling your feet.
You can do this over and over. You can create sizable sparks.

My girlfriend stopped over last night. I had on the flannel pj's she gave me. I shuffled into the bedroom. I pulled out my STATIC ELECTRIC PENIS and craaaaack. She let out a few choice words. The spark had to be half of an inch. So, I shuffled around and shocked her again.

Get the electric soldier porygon mug.Electronica does not exist. Not as a genre or a description. It was coined by the North American music press to refer to the second wave of electronic music's explosion in the late 90s, and exists purely as a marketing buzzword, not any actual quantifiable branch of music (the first wave of electronic music, incidentally, they called 'techno', and, having driven the word into the ground beyond all sense of meaning, they couldn't keep using it if they wished to re-market the music). Daft Punk, Fatboy Slim, Prodigy's 'Fat of the Land', Chemical Brothers and other big-time stars of that period were all called "electronica" at one point or another, but the person who really popularized it in the public consciousness was Madonna and her shallow, William Orbit-produced piss-poor attempt at appropriating trance music as something she invented (Ray of Light). She used that word all the damn time in interviews. God I hate her. So yeah: There is no such thing as electronica. -Ishkur
