Subliminal messages
This is great - go to Barry Allsuch's site and hover your mouse over Barry's picture to see what the web designers thought of him.

SimonSwears
Another brillaint game from B3ta - this one is based on Simon Says but with an adult twist - it's called SimonSwears . It needs sound and is totally unsuitable for work unless you have headphones (or you actually want to get sacked!)

Breasts!
Now that I've got your attention - click on this link & then click the pink button in the middle of the page to help provide free mammograms to scan for Breast Cancer. Thank you.

Spurt too quickly?
Then why not try the new condom that numbs yer knob? It's certainly a novel idea anyway.

World's Most Dangerous Server Rooms
A Classic article from The Register today - Follwing up from their story (& photo) of a server room with a bucket to catch drips from the Air-con unit sat onto of a server, readers have sent in their photos of submissions for the World's most dangerous server rooms. I shouldn't laugh as one of them looks like my old server room I'm ashamed to say.

Stop Alien Abductions...
... and look like a grade A pr1ck whilst doing so. (thanks to Chris for this one & a few others recently).

Beat it! (or to be more precise - don't beat it!)
Is the onanist urge overtaking you again? Maybe you need one of these Anti Masturbation Devices? Then again , maybe not.

Whadda you mean Goth's Dead?...
...Surely that's the point! Anyway for anyone in Leeds, I suggest you pop along to the Royal Park pub on Nov 2nd & see my mates The Sisters of Murphy who amazingly enough sound better than the real band (and their singer's taller than Eldritch although that ain't hard!) They've not only got a decent website but they also have ginger people in the band. My, how Goth has changed since I was a juvenile.

Behold the Rocklopedia Fakebandica!
Groovy baby! You know when a film or TV show need to have a band playing but are too cheap to pay for a real band? Well here's a list of all the fake bands that can be found. It's amazing how many you'll recognize.

Weird eBayness again
You really can find anything you want on eBay & an awful lot of things that you really don't want. Anyone in the market for a Taxidermy Mounted Sharks Head? (cheers, Sarah)

Will nobody think of the urine!?
'Stop wasting your waste' would seem to be the message from this scientist in New Zealand.

The Top Ten Ridiculous lawsuits ever
As it says above - The Top Ten Ridiculous lawsuits ever.

Arcata Eye Police Log
Yup, that's right, my favourite online police incident book has been updated again.
Sample quote: "Friday, September 27 3:58 a.m. A diner gulped down arterial plaque at a Janes Road chain restaurant, then survived heart failure long enough to slip out into the night without paying.".

New Products to better mankind
(N.B. not my title!) It's amazing how bad some jokes are whnever there's a new bandwagon to jump on.

Xenophobia
Never one to shy away from political discussions (or a chance to wind people up) I present a chart showing what different countries in Europe think of each other.

Court told of sex with traffic cone
Yet another strange fetish - this time a man who likes to have sex with traffic cones. Best bit? His lawyer's defence that it would be perfectly acceptable if it was part of the Edinburgh Festival, it would not have been inappropriate behaviour!

Cheap Flights?
I dispute that these actually should fall under cheap flights but then again where else can you go into space for the same price - easyjet certainly don't offer that one yet!

Pizza for Israeli Soldiers
Just imagine your poor starving friends on a military kibbutz (yeah, I know but it's late and hard to think of things to say!). Why not cheer them up by buying a Pizza for Israeli Soldiers.

Painting with music
This is the work of French artist Nicolas Clauss and some associates of his, it's a beautiful piece of music which you can interact with & make the images dance by moving the mouse around. It's called legato.

The First Vienna Vegetable Orchestra
Uh, ok?! The First Viennese Vegetable Orchestra consists exclusively of vegetable-based instruments. I think they even cook the instruments as a soup for the audience afterwards!

Girls with big noses
Crikey! There really is a fetish for everything. Here's a site for lovers of girls with photoshopped big noses for people with a Pinnochio complex. (Some bits are NSFW)

More unlikely uses for Duct tape
Military researchers obviously have too much time on their hands or maybe this is in preparation for a new biological weapon but apprently they have discovered that duct tape can be used to get rid of warts. Maybe I should release my own report that says it can be used as a cheap bikini wax?

Know any yanks?
If any Americans ever come to this page & get confused by any of the terms here then get your fannys over to The English-to-American Dictionary for your instant guide to speaking proper like.

More funny place names
Oh dear, I think I've started something here - here's a map with 3 funny names on it but the only one that'll avoid any workplace swear filters is Bushy Flat. Also here's Titty Hill.

Strike back against Telemarketing
This is pure genius, next time you get called at home by someone trying to telemarket a product to you, simply print off this anti-telemarketing counterscript and read the script out to the person on the other end of the line. Guaranteed to drive them away without you breaking a sweat or losing your cool - you'll actually be happy to get a cold-call salesman ring you at home.

M.C. Escher
Here's the official Escher site on the web. I'm sure most of you are aware of the artist & his work but it's still work popping along to to take a Virtual ride through three of his most famous drawings.

The jet powered beer cooler
This guy must be so bored in New Zealand, first he did an ascii version of the entire first Star Wars film, then as an encore, he built a jet powered beer cooler.
