- I’ll have the Aircraft Carrier, Please
- So, you’ve been looking for a little pleasure boat, huh? Something to take out to the lake on the weekend? Well, look no further than the HMS Vengeance (well, formerly, at least). For a paltry $4.5 million, you can have your very own working aircraft... full entry
- Foiled Again
- Oops, I guess I did blog it after all. [grin] Oh well. As the villian-of-the-week on Scooby-Doo would say, “I’ll get you if it’s the last thing I do, Derek!!”
- Crime Does
n’tPay - If Wall Street recent fraud settlement is any indication, white collar crime does pay. Well, at least, according to the Daily Show’s Jon Stewart on the 04-29-2003 show. Visit the site for a low-res video of Jon Stewart’s short piece on it.
- Death To The Extremist
- Here’s yet another site that I can’t explain at all and yet still love. “Death to the Extremist” is an online comic about, well, two blobs that talk to each other ...about random things ...and eat pie ...and make me laugh so hard I get... full entry
- How to crash Internet Explorer
- Mark Pilgrim links to (and comments on) a /. posting about an IE rendering bug that causes IE to choke (and actually crash) on a simple one-line piece of code: <input type> It’s one thing to mess it up and not display it correctly (it... full entry
April 2003
- Rumsfeld Answers Sex Questions
- It seems that Esquire has a short, but rather funny piece about what it might be like if Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld answered sex questions. One of the short ones: Dear Secretary Rumsfeld: I keep reading about something called the G-spot, but I can’t... full entry
- If Fox News Covered Historical Events…
- Fark (a wonderful site that I really need to visit more often) has a fantastic thread going where people are posting photoshopped images of what it might have been like had Fox News covered various historical events. Some of the postings are a bit lame,... full entry
- Top 100 April Fools Hoaxes
- What else is there to say, but that the top 10 100 April Fools hoaxes are damn funny. In 1996 the Taco Bell Corporation announced that it had bought the Liberty Bell from the federal government and was renaming it the Taco Liberty Bell…
March 2003
- Science lessons by Britney Spears
- Remember how you always said that science was boring and it couldn’t keep your attention? How you said that no one you knew would ever be caught dead talking about “Photonic Crystals”? Well, now you can eat those words with Britney’s Guide to Semiconductor Physics!... full entry
February 2003
- Music Gone Wrong
- I don’t even know where to start on this one. You know how they used to include ultra-cheesy “records” in cereal boxes back in the 70’s (and into the early 80’s as I recall)? Well, here’s one where The Monsters Go Disco. The site is... full entry
- “Unexplainable Stupidity”
- Here’s a little video of two teens dancing to a song. That short description, of course, doesn’t do the clip justice at all. I can’t really even describe it except to say that it’s rather disturbing to watch, but you can’t make yourself stop… Anyway,... full entry
January 2003
- Dumb Texas Laws
- Lots of people think of Texans as backwoods, redneck, country folk. Well, now you can see some of our stupid laws that prove it. One of my personal favorites: Beer may not be purchased after midnight on a Sunday, but it may be purchased on... full entry
December 2002
- Modern ‘Bar Signs’
- The Modern Drunkard Index brings us Bar Signs. After all, you need these special hand signals so that you needn’t worry about having to stop drinking to say something. Couldn’t have that happen.
November 2002
- Ominosity Quotient
- I happen to be a seven. Pretty respectable, I’d say. So, what, might I ask, is your Ominosity Quotient?
- The game came with WHAT??
- Okay, this is just weird! There’s apparently a Playstation 2 game out there called Rez (may be Japanese only) that comes packaged with what they call, I kid you not, a “trance vibrator”. As this article illustrates the name can be more than just coincidental.... full entry
- THe RIAA strikes back!
- The ”RIAA Wants Background Checks on CD-RW Buyers.” Okay, not really. But it’s kind of scary how far this is not from the truth. I mean, you have seen some of the other things that have been proposed (or passed!), right?
September 2002
- Eric Conveys an Emotion
- Now this one is just… odd. Go see Eric convey an emotion or suggest a new one for him to try. There are some fantastic completed ones, so be sure to scroll down the list.
- I AM a Colossal Death Robot!
- I’ve always wondered which Colossal Death Robot I would be if I were ever suddenly transformed into one. I’m sure you have, too. Well, now you can find out. Of course, this wouldn’t be complete without telling you who I am: Check it out, you’re... full entry
- Arr! Shiver me timbers, land-lubber!
- Avast, matey! It be “Talk Like a Pirate” day! So button down those hatches, make your enemies walk the plank, and grab a couple of tankards of ale for yourself! Yaarrrgghh!
- ASCII pr0n
- That’s a new one. Pr0n (or “porn” for some of you) in ASCII form. There are the typical still pictures converted to ASCII. You may remember similar stuff from way back when you started with computers. Assuming you started early enough, that is. What really... full entry
