- LotR… Slightly Condensed
- Here’s some light humor to start off your week. A slightly condensed version of the wonderful Lord of the Rings tale. Nicely done, I must say! [grin]
- Answer those IM Questions
- What happens when you accidentally end up with the top Google result for [g]instant message question answerer[/g]? Funny, funny things, that’s what. It seems that lots of people search for that phrase and end up with his AIM screenname: [d]sylloge[/d]. They ask him questions and... full entry
- Resistivity in Germanium…
- Or, “This Physics Lab was a Piece of Crap!” Here’s a wonderful lab write-up by a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. It appears that his laboriously tested experiment didn’t come anywhere close to proving the results he was supposed to see. This is how... full entry
- Daily Dose of Swearing
- On the off chance that you just haven’t heard enough cursing today, you can tune in to Channel4’s ad where you can hear stars from some of your favorite television shows tell us their favorite swear words. Well, okay, maybe they aren’t your favorites, but... full entry
- Real Men of Genius
- Not much to say here, except that I love Stephen Pastis. You almost have to read him daily for most of his comics to make you laugh out loud, much like Gary Larson. Isolated from the herd, and having no knowledge of the rest of... full entry

- Poorly Chosen URLs
- DaveZilla has a wonderful entry up today about sites with very poorly chosen URLs. I won’t give away any examples since they’re all good, but some of them just had me laughing really hard. What’s sad, of course, is that so many of the examples... full entry
- Quiznos’ Dead Mouse Commercial
- Ugh, you know the one I’m talking about. “We love the SUUUUBBBS!” sung by Mexican dead mice being digitally manipulated. Well, I knew there was something creepily familiar about it, but I couldn’t place it. And then a friend emailed me the Kitten Viking Song... full entry
- Addicting Flash Game: ‘Grow’
- I found this yesterday off, I think, Boing Boing. It’s a bizarrely addictive Flash game. The “goal” is to choose the pieces in the right order so that they “level up” each other and eventually all 12 pieces get maxed out for a maximum score... full entry
- Stewie Griffin Soundboard
- Need your fix of cuastic humor? Fan of that wonderful show The Family Guy? Well, now you can hear all of your favorite quotes from the brilliant Stewie Griffin. Go ahead, have fun clicking on all of them and then trying to string them together... full entry
- Pepsi/iTunes Parody
- James Saldana made a wonderful parody of the recent Pepsi/iTunes ad that debuted during the SuperBowl. This parody targets the :RIAA: in a dead-on accurate way. Be sure to choose one of the mirror sites for download to spare the main site some traffic.
- Red vs Blue
- I don’t remember where I first saw that last week, but I’m totally hooked now. Red vs Blue are basically some supremely funny videos made using staged in-game footage from the game Halo. It’s a new artform/style of animation called Machinima. You can download several... full entry

- What Do People Search For?
- While searching for some other information this evening, I took a little side trip and looked at some of the actual search terms that people have used in search engines to get to the site. Some were just too good to not share, and so... full entry
- Badger Badger Badger
- Fo your amusement (and stupified mystification) I bring you the Badger song. You may know it from such sources as yesterday’s and today’s User Friendly comic strips. Yeah… I don’t really get it either. It’s both strangely soothing and repulsive at the same time.
- Metrosexual?
- What the heck is a [g]metrosexual[/g]? I’ve heard the term before a couple of times, but the definition always seemed kind of ambiguous. Well, now you can simply take a quiz to find out “are you a metrosexual?” Yeah, it’s pretty dumb, but I figure... full entry
- 4000 ft² of Foil Later…
- Imagine coming home from a trip to find that your housesitter had messed with your apartment while you were gone. Specifically, by wrapping everything in aluminum foil. And I do men everything. No detail was too small or too time-consuming. Trerice and his friends unrolled... full entry
- Win Yourself a Small Child!
- You know those prize machines where you maneuver the crane and then drop the claw to try and snag a prize? Well, if you’re ever in Sheboygan, Wisconsin be sure to stop by the Piggly Wiggly supermarket: you can try and win yourself a 7... full entry

- How to Drink Responsibly…
- ...the Onion way. That’s right, The Onion has a great set of tips for how to drink responsibly this holiday season. Everyone knows that alcohol can cause lots of problems, so it’s absolutely vital that we all make sure to read—and follow—these tips. “Just trust... full entry
- Number One in Google!
- Well, it may not be a very common search, but looking at the screen cap from Chris’s post below about iCapture, it was the first two words that jumped at me. Here now, we have chriscurtis.org, #1 Google search for cybersex and css!

- On Unladen Swallows
- Thanks to some sharp detective work and number crunching by Jonathan Corum, it appears that we now have the answer to that vexing age-old question: “What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?” To which, of course, your reply should be: “What do you... full entry
- Web Design ‘Client Quotes’
- From Fark today we get a link to a massive list of quotes from clients of web design contracts. Things like these are why I’ve been hesitant to pursue a real career in web development. Some favorite quotes: client: why is our contact page not... full entry
