Butter with far more accurate colors, though only a professional artist could tell the difference.

It would be more impressive to use a spoon instead...

32 vs 64 bit color makes a big difference in gradients, particularly slow fairly dark ones. This shows up in 3d scenes with multiple render passes, or in Photoshop if you do a gradient over a large area. You, even as a non-artist, can definitely see the difference between 8 and 16 bits per channel.

where to put the money vase: next to the money TV or on the money endtable?
A quick search for "money hats" turned up Penny Arcade as the first link.

PA almost certainly inspired the term "money hats" in 2000 with this strip, which is a phrase I see all the time now.

LESS DEMOCRATS=LESS CRIME
Heh, was just reading replies to the Wired request for dumb 2006 quotes. This one guy was just very angry about Democrats.
