I think it would be more amusing to have a musical accompaniment to get played in the background when you are reading a post.
To this end, install the browser plug-in, place the mouse over the croissant, press F2 and scroll down the list.
What could be better than a tinkly midi rendition of Wagner,
Beethoven, or the clown music from Laurel and Hardy of the HB member of your choice?
The latter will I suspect be the background sound for most of my ideas..
(minor quibble, just above "Halfbakery" on the Category list is "Food:Water")
The Krankies

"comedy duo that enjoyed success as a cabaret act" I beg to differ. [not_morrison_rm, Oct 22 2013]

Writers of websites that play sound without the
user's express consent should be slowly eviscerated
with a rusty spork. |

[-] I wouldn't actually notice since the sounds is off 99% of the time, but why waste the bandwidth. |

Better to display a vocal score scrolling along the top of the page so you can sing along as you read. Have we not discussed this before? |
|
| |
We have? Anyway, the idea can be extended to google glass, with face recognition everything said by [insert name of politician] can be accompanied by The Lying Game music...and soone. |

What [Voice] said, with additional gratuitous cruelty. |

Being poked in the eye with a blunt stick, presumably ... |
|
| |
Not that I'm planning on doing the field research, but presumably a sharp stick would be more effective? |
|
| |
Indeed, a perfect adjunct to the
aforementioned "additional gratuitous
cruelty". |

Well, there is one bit in the System of the World where Newton sticks a metal rod between his eye and the eye socket, to see what effect deformation of the eyeball has on vision. Not exactly on my to do list. |

I can think of an infinite number of things it would be more amusing than, for example the 1980's, any Cannon and Ball "comedy" routine, the Black Death, processed cheese. Need I go on? |
|
| |
You don't *need* to go on...but you may. |
|
| |
I'm saving mentioning the Krankies for a much more important debate. |
|
| |
Ok, might as well put the link in... |

NB just found out that Eddie Large has recovered from his fall and the subsequent pneumonia, of which we are all very glad, of course. C link. |
