Opera Baby

This has a little off-color language, but since it's nothing you can't say on television nowadays and it's so funny, here it is, enjoy.

Bobble, Bobble

Well, it looks like the latest craze is bobbleheads, those wonderfully tacky little figurines with the bobbing ceramic/plastic heads. My friend Bill showed me this site, Bobblehead World and they have some pretty good ones, like the Buddy Holly bobblehead shown above, political/sports/media figures, musicians, advertising icons and even animals. In fact, you can even send in a photo and have it tacked onto a bobble's face or have your own custom designed bobblehead done.

Come On DJ...Say the Name of the Song, Please? AGGGHHH!!!!

If you've ever had that experience - you're in the car or at home, listening to the radio and a song comes on that you like, only to be faced with the frustration of not knowing what the name of it was or who the artist is - YES.NET may be for you. Just find your city and if the station is among those listed, you'll be able to view which songs were played over the last several hours and at what time they came on, along with the option of buying the cd at one of the major online music retailers, like Amazon. A nifty idea whose time has come.

Look, Up in the Sky...it's a Bird, it's a Plane, it's a...Pumpkin?

Pumpkin hurling, the practice of firing pumpkins at high-velocity from trebuchets, catapults and air cannons.

Superhero Cliches

The Fight-And-Become-Friends Rule: A. A man and woman who hate each other must be sexually attracted. B. Training-- A character in training meets someone who starts out as a rival, then they become friends, then enemies. C. Most common-- whenever two heroes meet for the first time, they MUST fight.

The Monster Salary Timer

Pick a celeb and see how fast their cash pours in as the seconds and minutes tick away. For an extra dose of humble pie, enter your own salary and watch them side by side to see how you're doing by comparison. It's kind of amazing to see the dollars and cents add up in real-time. I mean, you hear Oprah makes 150 million dollars a year and that's kind of abstract, but watching the money tick off second by second puts things into perspective. In the time it's taken me to post this article, Ms. Winfrey made $9,000. In an hour she'll have made approximately $75,000.

I Used to Believe...

A place for people to chuckle over the silly things they once believed to be fact when they were children - goldfish heaven, the Tooth Fairy, etc. Some of the readers' stories are pretty funny.

Safer America

Safer America is the name of a boutique that's set up shop a few blocks from the Ground Zero and bills itself as the world's first "anti-terrorism store". Their stock includes gas masks, radiation detectors and the like.

Pong Remembered (Again)

Yet another article about Pong, the action-packed, graphically-stunning progenitor of modern videogames with lots of good pictures of various old systems. What can I say? I can't resist a good Pong article.

Prize Winning Poultry

A gallery of weirded-out blue-ribbon chickens.

Pixel This

Matt's Mess - Online Playground is an interesting little design/game/blog site that focuses on those wonderful little points of light on our monitors we call pixels. I've noticed over the last year or two this pixel-art look is showing up more and more and if you'd like to learn a little about it, Matt has tutorials on giving your icons, artwork or site that slightly retro videogame feel...teaching you a little about the specifics of the medium, blending colors with pixels, etc. Pretty cool stuff.



Your Mom's So Fat She Fell in Love and Broke it

Your Mom.com - the internet's first "Your Mom's So ___" joke portal.

Blogger's On the Fritz

So I guess I'm just going to go ahead and write this stuff and post it all in one big lump later. Don't you hate when that happens?



Krispy Kreme Behind the Scenes

I found this earlier while browsing Atomgrid and I know at least a few people out there who really love Krispy Kreme donuts. Probably my Canadian friends would say they prefer Tim Horton's, which I'm sad to say I've never had the pleasure of trying but, if you're a fan of the original glazed and ever wanted to know pretty much all there is about the world-famous donut, of which 2 billion are cooked every year...this is your lucky day.

Hometown Gal on The Bachelor

I could really care less about this show, however, I have been meaning to catch an episode - a combination of morbid curiousity and the fact that one of the bachelorettes this time around is from my hometown of Albertville, Alabama.
Looks like she's still in the running, too, so maybe I'll catch it tonight. I saw one episode of the first season and was pretty disgusted with the show overall. Gotta hand it to the girl, though, this is a pretty small town and it's rare anyone in the media has anything to say about it. Other than Rusty Greer, the pro baseball player, the only other semi-famous person I know of who came from Albertville was a Playboy Playmate of the month named Angela Little (guys, I'm not gonna link that one, you know how to use Google) so hey, she managed to get her fifteen minutes without even getting naked, good for her - though I did hear there was some semi-sordid hot tub stuff in the opener. Never met the lady but oh well, she's a Tide fan...so what the heck - good luck to you, Brooke, hope you win - though if you don't, never fear, our intrepid webmaster Jimmy Olsen is single and available ;)



When You're Smiling, the Whole World Smiles at You

Or at least they'll give you some odd looks if you get yourself one of these finely detailed tooth paintings. Yep, I don't know why you'd want to, but if you're of a mind, this fellow will do a work of art on your chompers. He specializes in miniature works of art on porcelain crowns. I bet this guy'd love to get ahold of the Osmond family. That'd probably be like his own personal Sistine Chapel.

Curling

A Flash version of the game - sling your curling stones against the computer and try and get your stones closer to the center. This was actually pretty fun. The computer always throws it's stones towards the center, so keep that in mind when you're deciding where to put your shots.

Hockey Uniforms

Since I posted the Football Helmet Project earlier, I suppose I'll go ahead and give equal time to hockey - this site, here's the complete history of hockey uniforms. This one's for you, Hockeygirl.

Sam's Mailbox Picture Collection

A bunch of pictures of oddball mailboxes.

Digitized Photos of Days Gone By

The NYPL (New York Public Library) Digital Picture collection has 30,000 digitized images (of NY and other subjects) that are in the public domain. Browse by topic or search for pictures.

The Helmet Project

An "atlas" of football helmets and football helmet history. Yes, that's right - everything now has it's own webpage. Pictured above, my personal fave, The Crimson Tide's helmet, of course.

TV4all

A really spiffy internet portal for live television broadcasts with lots of channels from all over the world. For the most part this is for the broadband audience among you - there are a few 28k-56k streams, but the folks with fat pipes will probably get the most from this one. Enjoy and remember, nothing personal broad-banders...but I hate you.

Let's Go to the Movies

Or at least post a few sites regarding them, since I can't think of anything better to do. I downloaded a few songs off a movie soundtrack the other day (I'll leave you and the RIAA to speculate over which one) and coincidentally come across this site, Score Baby! shortly thereafter. It's a celebration of movie scores from the 60s, 70s and beyond, with special attention given to the "groovy" stuff. Lots of sound bytes, reviews and a movie score radio station, via Live365.

Speaking of scores, Ray Coniff, who copped a Grammy for the Dr. Zhivago theme Somewhere My Love died recently. He was 85 years old.

More stuff for the film score fan can be found at Film Score Monthly and if you'd just like some movie sounds to add to your windows theme or playlist, where else but The Movie Sounds Page, with tons of .wav file snippets of dialogue and sounds.

Perhaps you're not in a listening mood and you'd rather nitpick and criticize - if that's the case, head on over to Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics, where you can ponder things such as why, exactly, whenever a car in a movie so much as goes into a ditch, it's immediately engulfed in flame and/or explodes.

I failed to mention it and probably anyone who cares knows, but the trailer for the next installment of The Lord of the Rings is online. I also heard of a couple off-the-wall movie projects that are in the works - believe it or not, they're going to make movies out of the television shows Bewitched (with Nicole Kidman possibly playing the role of Samantha) and Dallas. I think the Globe and Mail news service summed that one up nicely with their headline, "Good God, here comes Dallas: The Movie". My sentiments, exactly. It's beginning to look like they'll make a movie out of anything at this point - I swear, when they start production of Mr. Belvedere: The Movie, I'm going to boycott cinema altogether.

Wow, when I began this post twenty minutes ago I wasn't really taking into account just how many sites there are out there devoted to movies and how many quality ones, at that - what the heck though, I'm just gonna keep on tossing them out there until I get sleepy, I suppose. For those of you in a reading mood, you can check out Drew's Script-O-Rama - with links to movie scripts and other random cinematic stuff. Pete's Movie Page and Movie Ring has tons of links to trailers, etc. Then of course we have the old standbys: The Internet Movie Database, Ain't it Cool News (where I stole many of the preceding links), Roger Ebert's column and his shared page, Ebert and Roeper....did I mention there were a lot of movie-oriented sites out there?

Here's one for the Drive-in fans, titled, simply enough, Drive-in Theater, which discusses their history, famous Route 66 drive-ins, concession stands and everything else related to the silver screen of the outdoors - old movie ads and even a screensaver featuring intermission characters like the dancing hotdogs. Drive-in Movies is another site devoted to the medium, where you can reminisce about summer nights and creature-features with other site visitors and search for drive-ins in your area and check up on their history. Beware the sappy midi, don't say I didn't warn you.

Finally, for the do-it-yourself types, why not just make your own movie?

Okay movie buffs, I've run out of steam, in the words of Forrest Gump, "That's all I have to say about that." Tune in later when I'll possibly be able to think of something more earth-shattering to post about.

New at Orisinal

Orisinal has some new games, I particularly like this one, called Bauns. It's sort of like Collapse, kind of hard to explain, though. You clear off little tiles by pulling back and firing a sort of slingshot and sending a marble out onto the playing field. Keep hitting and the timer resets, miss a few and more tiles are dropped. A very cool game, maybe my favorite of theirs so far.

Matchstick Mayhem

Six matchstick puzzles - move the matches to solve them.

Silly Scientists

A Silly Putty physics experiment filmed in Quicktime. Two guys drop a massive ball of the stuff off a building for the sake of science.

The Paper Airplane Flight Simulator

Since I've posted so many paper airplane sites (odd, since I haven't thrown a paper plane since I was in high school) it seems only fitting that I include this paper airplane flight sim. Just set your angle, thrust and elevator and you're ready to simulate a world-record paper airplane throw, which is rated by feet, maximum altitude, time aloft and revolutions.

I Will Not Obsess Over The Simpsons

Someone's made an applet that writes out everything Bart Simpson ever had to write on the chalkboard in The Simpsons' opening sequence.

Now That's a Die-Hard Gamer

Man dies after playing videogames for 86 hours straight.

Fairy Tales for the Erudite

"The more efficacious to gourmondize your sapid corporeal substantiality, my gobbet," he vociferated, and with an expeditious gambado the maleficent dastard manducated the woebegone tellurian. Surfeited, the scelerate picaro summarily dossed.

Would You Like a Pie With Thaaaat?

I don't know if it's just late or what, but this had me dying of laughter.

The Peachoid

A water tower that looks like a giant peach.

Billy Idol Fridge

Buy an ugly refrigerator Billy Idol's scrawled on from Ebay. Proceeds go to charity.

New Xiao Xiao

Yet another in the long line of stick-figure kung-fu Flashes.

For the Welder Who Has Everything

If you happen to have a welder friend or family member you'll be shopping for this holiday season, look no further - Hoodlum Welding Gear has a line of eye-catching welding helmets that will make him or her the talk of the metal shop.

Ratchet and Clank

A fun, Tetris-like Flash game in which you move and stack cogs of various colors to make combinations and free up space.

Still More Obsessive Lego Fiends

I've seen some pretty crazy Lego stuff on the web. Mind you, it's not really my bag - even as a kid, I don't think I ever had anything beyond your most basic Lego set, something you could maybe make a really crummy little house with or something along those lines. I find it endlessly fascinating, though, that there are people out there devoting so much time and energy into making ultra-complex structures from the interlocking plastic toys. These latest examples I saw on Boingboing are truly out there.

First off, we have someone making a reproduction of a work by the artist M.C. Escher, famous for incorporating optical illusion into his work - in this case, Ascending, Descending.

For sheer, hardcore Lego craziness, though, the prize has to go to this guy, who's Lego Harpsichord (above) took two years of planning and assembling. But for the steel strings needed to produce notes (oh yeah, it works - though it's less-than-listenable sound won't make it the choice of any concert players anytime soon) it's made entirely of Lego stuff.

Snoop Dogg Just Says No

Snoop Doggy Dogg has announced that he's no longer smoking marijuana. In a related story, pigs take flight.

Quick, Go to Google News!

Because they'll likely start charging for their recently-unveiled news search service soon, according to this article.

Stupid is as Stupid Does

Stupid.com is your one-stop shopping center for inane and ridiculous gifts, gags food and apparel. Whether you're looking for the world's smallest radio-controlled car (above) or a handbag shaped like a Chinese carry-out box, a Sigmund Freud action figure or just some turn-signals for your ears - if it's truly stupid, you'll probably find it here. Personally, I'd really love one of these fog-ring-blowing ray guns.

We'll Be Right Back After These Important Messages From Our Sponsor...

Tv Commercials Now has all kinds of classic commercials to watch. Andy Griffith hawking Post Toasties, The Three Stooges showing their own Simonizing technique and many more, old and new - in both high and low-bandwidth Quicktime movies.

Our Dumb Century

A fair-sized selection of sample pages from The Onion's book, Our Dumb Century, at Amazon. If you haven't read it, pick it up sometime - it's one of the funniest books you'll ever purchase.

Digitalart.org

I can't believe I've never come across this site before, there are some flat-out amazing examples of digital artwork on here. Artists painting in Photoshop, Painter, etc. - some really, really nice illustration. Be sure and browse the Top 50, while you're there. It's just unbelievable what some of these folks can do with just the brush tools in Photoshop. Sheesh.

Double Vision

Celebrity Doubles offers up their roster of celeb look-alikes for hire - most are kind of "eh.", but a few, like the Alan Alda guy above are kinda creepy in their similiarity to their famous twins. Some, I found kind of puzzling - for instance, under what circumstances would you ever need to hire a Christine Baranski look-alike?

I see a bunch of confused partygoers pointing and asking "Who's that?" and the host having to explain to them that she was the oft-drunken best friend of Cybil Sheppard on the now-defunct television series Cybil.

Painting for Posteriority

Rikki Rocket, Poison's drummer, enjoys painting hotel room toilet seats while on tour with the metal band. Rikki explains:

It's 2002 and the days of useless acts of hotel destruction are over. It's been done, it's financially wasteful and nobody cares anymore. Besides, I like hotels. I have lived in them a good chunk of my adult life. Truth is, some are better than others.

Rocket keeps a gallery of his artistic triumphs on his site - which is peppered with quotes by artists like Pablo Picasso, as well as his contemporaries, like Aerosmith. I don't suppose anyone would have guessed that at least one toilet seat masterpiece has a scary bat on it, would they?

I'll Trade You Two Hilberts for a Euclid

Ah, what nerd's toy chest would be complete without a set of mathemetician trading cards? Kind of math-phobic myself, but my friend Bill's gonna get a charge out of this, I think.

Puzzle Playground

Bunches and bunches of puzzles you can play and print out.

Post-trauma

Well, I'm looking at my blog tonight and I'm noticing how downhill it's gone. I have to fix my template, as the Yaccs comments code needs updating, I somehow lost my Blog Hot or Not link (thankfully, probably, as I'm sure it's slipped too) and there've been a woeful lack of posts.

What can I say? Got a little lazy with my blogging, folks...it'll be getting chilly soon, though and more than likely I'll be spending way more time here at home on my computer. I sure do dread fixing this template, though. The code for my page, what with all the little comments things and this and that, has grown a mile long and it's hell just picking out a particular javascript so I can fix it at this point, so I've been putting it off as long as possible, but I'll fix it all at the first opportunity. In fact, I recently installed some graphics programs so I may just knock out a whole new template - you never can tell.

Also, not surprisingly, I haven't been getting many visitors...so now, in a pathetic attempt to recieve more traffic, I'm posting Google Zeitgeist's top ten gaining search requests:

Top 10 Gaining Queries

Week Ending Sept. 30, 2002
1. ryder cup
2. oxana fedorova
3. kristy swanson
4. enron auction
5. mandrake
6. berlin marathon
7. ivory coast
8. jennifer love hewitt
9. isidore
10. christopher hitchens

Who/what the heck is isidore? Well, I'd better go find something to post, post-haste, before everyone abandons this sinking ship.

Googlefight

Who's more popular, net-wise - The Jeffersons or The Partidges, God or Satan, Jordan or Bird? Googlefight will let you type in two keywords, then show you who gets the most results on the popular search engine.

Speaking of Google and fights, they're under fire themselves of late, as chinks are beginning to show up in their much-lauded Pagerank system and bogus sites - spam, 404 pages, etc. - are beginning to make appearances near the top of search results.

Candy Train

Another new game from Popcap - click the tiles to keep the train from going off track.

And the Weiner is...

Weiner dog races - which weiner will win?

Bookworm

A fun new word game from Popcap.

Buttonhead

Frank's Vinyl Museum

Not sure if I've blogged this one before or not, but Frank's Vinyl Museum has some really goofball audio-nuggets...everything from Evel Knievel reciting poetry to Mae West singing Ticket to Ride. Straight out-of-left-field stuff that smells of a moldy, old box in the attic.

Drew on Fark

An article about the history of Fark.com - mostly stuff you'll be familiar with if you've ever spent a lot of time on the site, but a decent write-up anyways. (Link, appropriately, via Fark)

Detective Mistakes Onion Story for Real News

A Coldwater, MI detective from the Branch County Sheriff's Dept., Detective Dan Nichols, mistook an Onion story about Al Qaeda terrorists running telemarketing scams and included the bogus information in a four-page press-release.

Explaining himself, Detective Nichols proclaimed, "We wanted people to be aware of telemarketing scams, and I used the information just in case there is a remote possibility," Nichols said. "We have no indication that Al-Qaida is involved, but we wanted people to know there are telemarketing scams."

Here's the actual Onion article the news report - which was also picked up by an area radio station - came from.

How Neat is This Applet?
















I was just browsing around some javascript sites, looking for ideas awhile ago - in particular, I was looking for a tasteful, unobtrusive script that would make some tiny, blinking stars on my page, maybe just a few tiny fading pixels here and there, no gifs or crazy stuff - if anyone happens to know of one, let me know, okay? Anyway, while I was script-shopping I came across the above applet and it was so pretty I thought I'd share it - pretty cool, in a lava-lamp sort of way.

You can screw around with it using your right and left and middle click buttons and moving your cursor around on it and if you'd like to download it for whatever reason, you can, here at Javafile.com

Checker-Shadow Illusion

A really freaky optical illusion.

Superman Movie is Finally Cleared for Takeoff

Well, looks like there's finally a solid, for-real Superman movie in the works. John Peters will produce and Brett Ratner (Rush Hour) will helm the director's chair. There's a rumor going around that Keanu Reeves may play the Kryptonian crimefighter, which would really cement the odd little tradition of similiarly-named men (George Reeves, the television Supes and Christopher Reeve of the previous big-budget outings) donning the blue tights and cape. Here's hoping they don't mess it up.

We Will, We Will Eat You!

A little Thanksgiving-themed humor by some rockin' and rollin' turkeys.

Miserable Melodies

Only the very worst in music is served up here - from Ethel Merman's I Got Rythm (Disco Version) to Phyllis Diller's ear-torturing rendition of I Can't Get No Satisfaction - it's a veritable crap-heap of auditory blasphemy that will leave you crumpled on the floor in the fetal position, desperately trying to poke out your eardrums with a fork.

If you're man/woman enough to withstand the mind-numbing awfulness of Pat Boone belting out the Jimi Hendrix hit The Wind Cries Mary or can stomach the horrific refrains of Leonard Nimoy's take on If I Had a Hammer, I salute you - you are made of stronger stuff than most.

Mmmm...Refreshing!

It takes hundreds of years to form and only minutes to vaporize… Pure, refreshing, crystal clear, filtered, and compressed dehydrated water. No where on Earth will you find a more pure substance. Dehydrated water is compact, lightweight, easy to store, and perfect to take wherever you go.

The people at buydehydratedwater.com tout the benefits of their product, a steal at $5 a pop. Free samples available if you'd like to try before you buy.

Move Over, Gates, $anta's Got the Bling-Bling, Baby!

Forbes Magazine's picks for the top fifteen richest fictional characters of all time. St. Nick tops out the list with his seemingly inexhaustible wealth, beating out such cash-carrying luminaries as Richie Rich and Bruce Wayne.

"I Get Lonesome, Sometimes, Right in the Middle of a Crowd.."

This and other quotes played out by The Virtual Elvis, which you alter, costume and background-wise, to your tastes. The King lives on, in cyberspace.

Brainwashing America

I only hope they use those nice little fabric-freshening strips so all our brains will come out all fluffy and smelling springtime-fresh.

Page by Page

This site gets around the hassle of reading long literary works online - the endless scrolling, the problem of finding your place once you've lost it, etc. - by presenting the large library of public domain classics it offers in a single-page-at-a-time format.

Meankitty

Don't be fooled by those cutesy greeting cards and seemingly loving nature of our feline friends you're used to...not all cats are cute, cuddly and adorable. Some are just out-and-out bad apples. HISSSS!!!

Because You Can Never, Ever Have Enough TV Trivia

TV Acres bills itself as "The Ultimate Subject Guide to Television Facts" and is a huge repository of trivia on various subjects. Pick a word like "taverns", for instance, from their indexed list and you get loads of fictional hangouts like "The Boar's Nest", from The Dukes of Hazzard, Boston's favorite watering hole, "Cheers", Northern Exposure's "The Brick", Frasier's "McGuinty's, etc. You get the idea.

Sand Art

An applet for the truly bored-to-tears. Use your cursor to drop virtual sand (in the color of your choosing) and make your own little sand-art masterpiece. Not much to it, but it has a nice Zen quality, nonetheless.

"Stay Inside the Velvet Ropes at All Times and Don't Touch the Joysticks, Please."

At The Videogame Museum, there's more game info than you can shake a controller at. I didn't even know there was such a thing as the Atari 800 pictured above. Sadly there was little information regarding it, aside from the picture - there's tons of dirt on everything else videogame-oriented, however. This may be a repost, I'm not sure. If it is, though, probably it was so long ago nobody's going to remember anyway.

Moron of the Day

A Chicago teenager was treated for second degree burns after setting his shorts on fire (three times) in what was apparently a game he and his idiotic friends were playing - wherein each would smear gasoline onto their shorts and let the other light them. After lighting themselves on fire, they'd roll on the ground and put out the blaze.

After a few times, though, there was just too much gas on their shorts and the boy was unable to put it out. No charges filed - in the words of the police officer called to the scene, "Being totally stupid is not a crime."

Silent Suit

Composer Matt Batt has been ordered by a court to pay a six-figure settlement to the estate of John Cage for plagiarism. The lawsuit concerns Batt's inclusion of a silent track on his album, entitled One Minute of Silence, which the American composer, Cage's estate claims rips off his composition, 4'33'' - a four-minute, thirty-three second track of silence.

Pretty sad, huh? I think it's a little ridiculous, although I'm behind any lawsuit that would attempt to sue Batt and the late Cage for being pretentious jackasses.

Wouldn't He Already Be Insane to Do This?

Paul Mathis has a request - he'd like you to drive him insane. How, you ask? His home is wired so you can turn his lights on and off, send him annoying text messages that are converted to voice synthesized greetings, etc. A very odd person on a very unusual quest.

570 Bars

This one's just for Darren, Tara and any other Seattle residents or visitors. Two guys decided to make the rounds of all 570 bars in the city and have rated each on their various attributes, as well as summing up their experience in a weblog. They're halfway through their tour now and if you're in the area and in the mood for a drink this might be the place to check before you do your bar-hopping. Cheers!

Achoo!

A short, odd little commercial from Japan for Fanta brand soda.

The Beer Song

An Old "Weird Al" song done up as a Flash movie. Dial-up users take heed, this puppy took awhile to load.

This One's Not Gonna Mean Much to Anyone but Steely Dan Fans...However...

If you, like me, are a freak about "The Dan", go check out The Steely Dan Dictionary, it'll clear up a lot of questions you may have regarding some of the more arcane lyrical references on their albums. Tell 'em Jimmy sent ya.

It's the little things like this I love about the net....the fact that you can just type "Steely Dan Lyrics and their Meanings" into Google and BLAM! - you find yourself looking at a page like this, where a like-minded person has actually gone to the trouble to archive things of this nature - be it obscure Steely references or minutiae about Green Acres, the codes you need to activate your televisions remote control, pretty much anything. Gotta love it - I'm just waiting for that wonderful day when I can have some kind of cable jacked directly into the back of my head so I'm on it 24/7 and can escape reality altogether...ahhh :)

Some Funny News Stories....

Just thought I'd toss a few out there, there are so many weird ones, last few days (most of these were lifted from Fark:

Drunken Woman Goes to Pick Up Summons for a DUI...Gets Another DUI

Disney and Satan to Co-Produce New Snow White Remake - With New Dwarf and Kung-fu - Walt Spins Wildly in Cryogenic Freeze Chamber

Man "Bobbits" himself, Among Other Things - Repeat After Me: Doing Loads of Meth is NOT a Good Idea

Worldprocessor

Is an interesting site that presents global statistics from a visual perspective.

Still More Paper Planes

You know me, I'm a sucker for these pages with oddball paper airplane designs, so here's yet another one, entitled Exotic Paper Aircraft.

My Potato Gun Kicks Your Potato Gun's Ass

This guy's taken it to the next level potato gun-wise - a pure oxygen and propane-fueled, laser-sighted, bolt action, automatic spud launcher that would make even the most avid fan of the classic geek project green with envy.
