Problem: The eponymous appliance of "Frank's 2000 Inch TV" by "Weird Al" Yankovic has a rectangular screen which is 40 meters wide and 30 meters tall. Assuming for the sake of argument that Weird Al is a human being of typical visual acuity, and making reasonable assumptions about the average length of a city block, show whether Al's lyrical assertion that he can "watch The Simpsons from thirty blocks away" is credible.
Bonus: Assuming for simplicity that Frank's TV's "ninety thousand watts of Dolby sound" represents a single speaker of the stated wattage, could Al also hear the dialogue?

ho-ly shit, this actually got finished. this was so much work for something that is so incredibly niche, but im so happy with it. this was SO MUCH FUN to come up with, to think of songs for each card, to slip in silly references and make my little border designs... thank you so much everyone else who has been enjoying these posts!
tumblr wouldnt let me upload the full-size stitched canvas so I had to shrink it a little, so if you want to see all the individual cards at their full size PLEASE look at the individual posts on my blog HERE! this was the first time I ever got the tumblr warning that a photo was just too big, haha.
this post also goes out to everyone on the weird al side of tumblr- yankoblr, y'all have brought me so much joy in such a small amount of time with your posts and memes, even though i just got here and started randomly posting one day. i went from being very self-conscious about what i considered an 'embarrassing' interest to wholeheartedly goofing and it feels great. keep being silly no matter what guys
i absolutely love that little duck game on the bottom right i played it all the time as a kid . also parrots☝️and rainbow stuff and any colorful music items I could find!!
11 years ago today, we unearthed The Postal Service auditions from 2002. To commemorate the occasion, we are reposting "We Will Become Silhouettes” as performed by the soon-to-be EGOT adorned Al Yankovic .
about a year ago I had the idea to make a music video for weird al's 'your horoscope for today' and I made a storyboard version to test the idea. never got around to making the full thing but I think the storyboard is funny enough so here you go
