Whatever you do, do NOT indulge in any hallucinigenic drugs before leading Bush around by his nose. Pretty trippy stuff, a great time waster!
Another weird-ass, inexplicable Flash animation.
Woohoo! Jigsaw puzzles online!! With a name Jigzone it could have been anything...

Hah! High speed photos my ass! The Rapatronic camera technique utilized exposure times as short as 10 nanoseconds to take pictures of the formations created by nuclear blasts with really impressive results!

"How to cook rice in 9 easy steps"
Have you heard about the newest treatment "guaranteed" to help you quit smoking? Seems that nitrous oxide now has a new use in addition to that done by anesthesiologists, "motor heads" and Deadheads...
Dialtones is a large-scale concert performance whose sounds are wholly produced through the carefully choreographed ringing of the audience’s own mobile phones. Because the exact location and tone of each participant’s mobile phone can be known in advance, the Dialtones Telesymphony will be able to present a diverse range of unprecedented sonic phenomena and musically interesting structures.
Wow! Just wow! Must be heard to be believed - and it must be amazing in person...
Cool! I saw that Kevin Smith (the writer/director of "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back", in theatres everywhere) had done a comic piece detailing the events leading to the first time he kissed his wife for Sunday's NY Times - luckily there's an online version!!

"I would like to thank the honorable police and judges and all those who worked to arrest dog lovers and to confiscate short-legged dogs in this city,"
How can you resist reading an article with quotes in it like that!

More time to waste? Head over and play The Legend of Pixel and you'll find that the hours melt away. I guess I'd better go to work now...
Got some time to waste? Well, then Bubble Shooter will probably take care of it! Use extreme caution! This game is as addictive as it can be frustrating!
A simple program that will eliminate the dreaded "Blue Screen of Death " forever (Windows 3.1, 95 and 98 only)!
Dealing With Mortality: A Skeptic's Guide
Did I say something about statue molesters yesterday? Well, what makes a statue molester even worse? When he's French and a repeat offender...

What is creepier than seeing herds of tourists with cameras while you're vacationing? Statue molesters would be my choice!
One of the better quizes I've seen lately, Christian Metal Band or Star Trek episode!
"You've got mail?" It should say, "you've got more spam, dickhead!"
Wonderful AOL TV ad parody (Rated R for vulgar language) that had me laughing. Big thanx to Nikki for the link! I can almost forgive her for being a Devils fan...

Anyone who has a cat will appreciate this flash animation (especially if it's a yellow-eyed, black, female vermin like mine!)
I never knew that organic chemistry could be so pornographic!

If you have some free time, hop on over to Salon and give a listen to a audiobook segment from Neal Stephenson's novel Snow Crash. I read it some five years ago and it is a fantastic book which melds computers, Sumerian mythology and high-speed pizza delivery into a humorous and yet thought provoking package.
Wow! Fake or not, this crop circle formation found around August 14th is absolutely awesome!

I can so see some of my friends kids wearing Dookiewear! |
With attendance down 4% last year, the Nebraska State Fair decided to try a new advertising campaign this year which has generated some controversy. I personally thought the billboard that says "come see bands you thought were dead" was a bad idea but they're getting most of the heat for one with the outline of a cow and the phrase "enguage in heavy petting."
Footnote - They only had 303,600 people at a state fair last year? Criminy! Our local fair here gets well over 500,000 per year (the record is 670,191 in 1992.) When you consider that we live in a town with an estimated population of only 12,495 whereas the population of Lincoln is 225,581 residents you can just imagine the traffic issues we deal with every year!

Guaranteed to bring out the 13 year-old in you, farting and orgasmic calculators. I'm nearly ashamed at the amount of time I spent messing with these! A big thanx to Jodee for the link.
What do you get when you use a flash animation to combine Rammstein, Swedish folk music, a highly pixellated rabbit and Margret Thatcher's head on a kitten's body? I don't know either but they called it Ja Da...
It seems that the Chinese have misplaced a five-ton chunk of the Berlin Wall. I'm glad they have been keeping a better eye on the Great Wall...

I accidently stumbled across some cartoons from the "alternative" newspaper The Washington Blade - and, damn, if they aren't some of the LEAST politically correct cartoons I've ever seen! Take a look at The Chelsea Boys, Dykes to Watch Out For and some of these really good political 'toons by Ron Williams. After watching Tom Daschle have aneurisms over everything W has said for the past few weeks, it's nice to be reminded that not all liberals are wackos.

We've been a little slack on our roundup of postings on Divinist, our "serious" blog, so here it goes. Since the last time...
...we've looked at California, where they can't decide if they're ultra-liberal or ultra-conservative - a search engine bucking the net company trend - a "snippet" on attitudes towards circumcision - is there going to be a blitzkreig on the net? - humanity's path to the future according to Spider Robinson - and last but not least, thank a cow!! |
For as little as $100/hour you can sponsor a custom designed protest in front of the White House and the price even includes a color 8"x10" photograph of your protest banner being displayed. Has it really come to this?

Six months ago it was single digit temperatures and now they're calling for a heat index of over 110°F tomorrow! My suggestion? Stay inside. crank the AC up as high as it will go and do some snowboarding.

Not one of the better net games I've ever played but Strip Tennis with Anna Kournikova is just cheesy enough to hold your attention for a few minutes.
When animated gif's go bad. Check out all fifteen and make sure you have a bottle of your analgesic of choice handy for the resulting headache! (via A Fire Insdie)
Do me a favor people. Go look at this cartoon panel entitled "Are You a Left-Wing Wacko" and then please drop some comments on it. Does it successfully satirize the assumed ultra-conservative view of liberal beliefs as intended or does it backfire and make the ultra-liberal view of conservative opinions look exceedingly trite?
Gotta get me a few cheap bottles of vodka and try these home distillers liquor flavorings out! From left to right: slivovica (plum), 25 Herb Flavor (???) and "Wolf's Paw" (a cranberry base.) Follow the link for a WIDE selection of flavors...if these don't suck I don't understand why most bars aren't using this stuff in cheapass vodka to make shooters... |

"I don't know how long I'm going to stay in this job," said Mr. Binatang, peeling off his overalls. "As you can expect it's really affecting my sex life. I can't help it. Each time my wife initiates sex, these ejaculating hippos keep floating through my mind."
I've heard of taking your job home with you, but geez! I do have to say I feel a whole lot better about my job after reading this.

First we had the 24-hours at LeMans and now lawnmower racers have the 12-hrs at Brindsbury College, near Billingshurst, West Sussex. They're going to have to work on the name a bit I think...
What really brought down the Egyptian pharoahs? Why, the Minus2k bug, of course!
Interested in estimated world population, birth and death statistics? What about fuel production and consumption estimates? Or even food production, calories consumed, protein consumed, starvation stats and weightloss spending? Books published, newspapers circulated, movie attendance, students currently asleep in class or cumulative hours waited for internet infomration to download? Economic and governmental statistics (estimated)? Welcome to Worldometers - reducing life to statistics so you don't have to...
Hmm, there must be some sort of mistake...

Once again the RIAA has won a battle and lost the war. They managed to destroy Napster only to find the Gnutella based solutions like Limewire were nearly impossible to stop and that they would have been better off working with Napster rather than fighting them. Now only two weeks after announcing a new method of copy protecting CD's that protection scheme has been defeated and the instructions made public. Will they ever learn?!
Besser: All right, do you have a pencil to write this down?
Caller: Um, yes.
Besser: [Heavy sigh] Your first number's called your main number.
Caller: Oh ... right.
Besser: All right? Your second number is called your F.C. number, favorite color number, OK?
Caller: [Obviously writing this down] Fa-vor-ite co-lor. OK. And the third?
Besser: That's called your cock-ring number.
Caller: Oh. How do you spell that?
Besser: C-o-c-k.
Caller: C-o-c-k.
Besser: R-i-n-g.
Caller: R-i-n-g. OK.
Besser: That's your cock-ring number.
Caller: OK, so these are all local calls?
Just one example of what happened when an ISP refused to place a "1" in front of a phone number on their website which resulted in many of their customers calling Matt Besser's apartment instead of the tech support line - they suggested he change his number instead. He decided that he'd rather screw with their customers and use it as part of his standup comedy routine. Good call Matt...
One of the worst pages I've found in quite a while. Some people have way too much time on their hands...
I've heard of bad side effects from drugs before but this is just bizarre.
