It's Saturday so learn so trivia for the pub tonight
Here's a list of famous people who do Cartoon Voices. More lists like this can be found on the same site.

need...more...bandwith...
Excellent - apparently NTL are increasing the speed of their cable modem connections from 512Kbps to 600Kbps (which just happens to give conveniently give them a stick to beat BT over the head with).

Kitten Painter
It's like photoshop with cats, except there's nothing but cats in it.

Garbage
Cool little game for a Friday lunchtime - there's no instructons but it's easy to pick up - just watch the animation at the beginning to get the idea - it's called Gansewinkel which I think is Dutch for garbageman.

Crop Circle Mystery Solved The Brains Trust have done some fine investigative journalism & finally discovered the truth behind Crop Circles.

"I don't think that it's done in bad taste,"
Oh really, so why was she naked if it wasn't meant to shock - I didn't realise that WTC office workers were that serious about Dress-down Fridays!

Says Who? Says God
If God actually existed (whoops, giving away some personal belief info there!) then I guess this is what he'd be saying to us (I'm a big fan of the last one)
Speaking of God - do you think he'd be happy with the message that telling babies to suck on Jesus is putting out?
And am I the only person who gets a kick out of calling Jesus, 'Jeebus' a la Grandpa Simpson?

pri.me.uk is evil
Finally, I have conclusive proof that not only ispri.me.uk evil, but also, grom is evil, JennyCide is evil and most worringly of all all of you are evil.

N-Generate
I've been using this program for over a year now & although they've never released more than this beta version, it's still a fantastically useful graphics tool. It's not a big download but amazingly flexible - I really hope the creators manage to finish it so that we can create our own design modules.

D.I.S.C.O.


What lesser-known Simpsons character are you?

Hello Kitty Hub
After yesterday's link to Hubzilla, I found this link to a Hello Kitty USB hub - it's very cute.

It's all Greek to me( follow-up)
The Greek government who, as I reported previously, made the outrageous decision to ban all forms of computer games, came to their senses a couple of weeks ago. Today, I hear, they've proved how idiotic they are and reinstated the ban. Do they like the rest of the world laughing at them or something?

Have a yank...
...on the Pullometer and see what your chances of pulling are - I have a 69% chance of pulling and I'm married!

France Surrenders!
Want to know what to do after France surrenders? The Parisian Asphalt Initiative has a solution - Pave France...because Europe needs parking.

How Long Can You Hold It?
How much free time do you have? Why not see how long you can Hold the Button?

I said I wanted a little brown baby!
Ever wanted your own child? Couldn't be bothered with the whole pregnancy thing? Think your own kids would be ugly? Want a celebrity baby? Think that adoption involves too much paperwork?
Then you need Black Market Babies.com!

XXXHardC0reP0rn
Go on, what would you expect to find on a website called XXXHardCorePorn.tk? If you answered Care Bears then you'd be right.
If you answered pr0n then you're a very cynical person. (the site is totally SFW but bear in mind that the URL will end up in your server logs although it would be fun to watch your boss trying to sack you over the Care Bears!)

Drive Me Insane
Talk about a site that lives up to it's name! Drive Me Insane provides you with the tools to control one guy's house - he has webcams everywhere and you can turn on & off his lights or garden sprinklers. He must be over the cuckoo's nest by now

Hubzilla
Sorry if this is too geeky for any of you but most folks I know would want one of these even if they didn't know what a hub was.

Mini-me, the Chicken Dance & the Kazzo Band
Biggest band ever to be led by my number two favourite midget (or whatever we're supposed to call them now. (In case you're wondering, my favourite is still Herve Villechaize.

Happy Tree Friends
I got sent this by a friend & though tit was just a cute kids thing ...until I actually watched Happy Tree Friends. It's sick, twisted & brilliant. (thanks Carl)

A he-she blow-up attained only temporary symmetry
Which can only mean one thing...
The Arcata Eye Police Log has been updated again. Happy, happy, joy, joy!

Rosebud, Rosebud
Now this is truly bizarre - Rosebuds, erotic jewelry - I never knew you could put a diamond there! (or that anyone would want one!) (NSFW)

Polish artist - an oxymoron or just a moron?
A Polish artist has been arrested for creating a blasphemous piece of art - I think they're missing the obviuos - he should have been arrested for his lack of talent.

Feedback please
Ok, I've done a mock-up (or cock-up, whichever you prefer) of the site with the tag-board implemented - please HAVE A LOOK - try adding some comments to the baord & tell me what you think - is the tagboard worth having & is the layout ok - do you like the 3 columns or does it take up too much space etc. Should I include it in the right hand bar - I'll do whatever I'm told to so let me know. (pretty please)

I've been Farked!
After trying to start a small flame war on a Fark photoshop thread here, I found myself the victim of a photoshop retort - nice one Jokestress!

Warp 11
Sacremento's Premier (& hopefully only) Star Trek band. This is awful! - Check out the audio logs for lyrics & mp3 downloads of their songs. Sample lyrics;

I bet he did lines of coke with yeoman Rand
His toupee's always perfect and he's always tanned
If he can't find a woman he'll use his hand

Awful record sleeves
From this list of awful record sleeves courtesy of retroCrush, I've found the best idea for an album ever - Songs for Gay Dogs. I need to hear this before I die. (edit: to see the album sleeve you need to go to retrocrush & go to page 2 & it's the last image - retrocrush have stopped people linking to their images which is fair enough but a pain for small time people like me)

Yoda Lives
The World's Oldest Living Person has just turned 115 - she really does look like yoda. My granny is 94 & still doesn't look a day over 70!

Simpsons meets Pulp Fiction
This is superb - apparently some of the animators of the Simpsons had a bit of fun a few years ago and did some sketches of their characters in Pulp Fiction. They certainly look realistic (and quite rude so has to get a NSFW).

Extreme Ironing goes Corporate
The first world Championships of Extreme Ironing have now got corporate sponsorship from Rowenta! Good luck to the British team (of nutters)

Taliban Reunited
I remember always writing on his bed sheets
"Osama's Bed Linen".

Ass-Backwards
The new edition of the Oxford English Dictionary now contains such words as badass, phat and bogart - didn't the rest of the world stop using 'phat' about 4 years ago?

Album of the last decade
Just heard a few tracks from this album - must download the rest as soon as I get home - it's a work of sheer unadulterated genius. Either that of one of the biggest follies ever. Ladies & Gentleman, I present for your listening delectation, Pat Boone - In A Metal Mood.

Take a Trip pt.2
I guees you could call LSD tabs mini-works of art except that they're mass produced. Whatever, they're quite fascinating.

D.I.V.O.R.C.E.
If you ever felt like cheating on your partner, think again. Maybe this story will help your pause for thought. If you don't want to read about it then just go here for the pictoral evidence of a woman spurned.

Take a Trip
For all you stoners out the - how bout this freaky image of bridge to weird you out (scroll down if you're too out of it to work out for yourselves.)
