What's in that BigMac?
What's worse? The ingredients or the fact that McDonald's actually show you what they are on their site. Ok, so the Big Mac itself sounds innocent enough but what is all that stuff in the bun? Fungal enzymes ain't my idea of added flavour & why do we need an anti-foaming agent in French Fries? Could explain why I last stepped foot in a Macca D's over 14 years ago.

Gay Bar
Woo Yay! Joel Veitch returns with the Viking Kittens, this time they're doing Gay Bar by Electric Six - You'll be singing "I want to take you to a Gay Bar" at the top of your voice for the rest of the day. Fantastic.

Cookin' With Google
Whilst looking for somewhere to buy the new Google Hacks book, I came across a few cool toys that use the Google API - I'll post more when I've had a chance to test them but my favourite so far is GooCookin' - Cooking with Google - simply type in some ingredients and it'll search for recipes that use them. It seems to work remarkably well, it even found me a recipe with bacon, vodka and asparagus (the current contents of my cupboards!)

Apple and Satan
When you use an Apple computer, you're computing with Satan (whether Apple like it or not it appears) (this link is especially for Mr Hefty - told you Apple were dodgy m8!)

Holy Batmobiles!
Couple of Batman related links here - first up is the The Batcycle project where a bike freak tries to build an exact replica of the origial BatCycle.
Secondly, here's a scary picture of the original Batman & Robin promoting their new 'comedy' series - Return to the Batcave - which I presume consists of them both in smoking jackets mumbling about how they both used to be famous until Batman ruined their careers.

Len of Vinci
Loads of Lenny Da Vinci's drawings on this site. Which is nice.

Priority Sheet
This picture amused me. I think it's been taken inside a subway train in Japan and is menat to be suggesting that you give up your seat for pregnant women - but why you should give up your seat to people having a poo, headbutting a small child or with an erection is beyond me?!!?

Not Vegatarian? You will be!
If you are already a veggie then you won't need to go here.
If you aren't then going here might make you turn quick. Mind you I've seen this & I still feel the need for a bacon sandwich - that's one thing that seems to be built into my genes.

Lost Highways
Lost Highways is a site dedicated to images of automobiles but more importantly to the stylised images of the future that I used to adore back in my old Sci-fi days. Check out the amazing artwork in the different exhibitions - I'd suggfest starting with the radebaugh exhibiton - fans of Metropolis & the Jetsons will be more than satiated.

Harvey the Square
Those of you who played the Wrath game I posted earlier this week will be aware of the pre-load game it contained called Harvey the Square. There's a proper version of this game here - it's in colour and all!

Unusual Museums of the Internet
What do the following have in common?
Toilet Seats, Crabs, Navel Fluff, Elongated Coins, Lawnmowers, AOL Cds, Tea Caddies?
They all have museums dedicated to them on this webring.

Fire from Ice
There's something quite spooky/beautiful/ironic about being able to start a fire using ice.

Zen and the Art of the Mosh Pit
Mosh-pits were where I grew up & although I'm way too old now, I still think that it's a vital part of enjoying a loud gig. There are rules though, too many young 'uns just think you can dive in at the front of a concert and start a scrap. This is probably the fastest way to waste the money you spent on your ticket as you'll end up either kicked out and landing on your ass in the street or you'll be in the casualty department of your local hospital for the rest of the night. Zen and the Art of the Mosh Pit is a good place to learn the basics and for safety tips have a look at these articles.
Be safe out there kids!
(this article brought to you by Aunty Kaye's school of mosh etiquette)

The Cathedral
I've been sent another cool link by Kaye, this one is a CG film which looks fantastic. It's called The Cathedral - have a look at the stills in the 'making of' section and if you have the bandwidth, check out the trailer.

Gothic Rose Antiques
If your boudoir is lacking a certain gothic chic or you want a cauldron for the garden then have a look at what's available from Gothic Rose Antiques - although I can't think there'd be a huge demand for fox-head muffs.
(Kaye - thanks for all the links - I'm getting through them slowly!)

Life In The 60's Must Have Been Great...

Reciprocation
People who have linked to me me recently & I wanted to say 'hi' to;
B.Logman - 'Hi Ben'
Minddump - 'Hi Dreamer'
'Hi Dusty'
Well worth visiting their sites if you're having a surf.
It's gotta be better than the people who came to me via Google searches for
Tony Hawks mom, Pictures of Bart Simpson smoking Cannbis, Mom gives son a hand job on his big c0ck (!!!), Mom in the bikini(!! again!)
photos abuot UFO (see - bad spelling can get you hits!)

Antique Vibrator Museum
Good Vibrations is a well-known shop in San Fransisco that specialises in 'women-friendly' goods. They have a section on their site for an Antique Vibrator Museum. Some of these beasts have no place being put anywhere near a human body - I've seen more cuddlier looking chainsaws. Oddly enough though, the more recent you get, the more frightening they look, especially the 1933 Gilbert & the 1950 Universal.

Block Clock
If you remember the cool flash clock which used images of a hand drawing numbers to show the time, then you'll like the Block Clock done by the same people.

Dogs in Uniform
I've never understood why people like dressing up their pets but there must be some more to it than just sheer cruelty. I find it more scary the longer I look at it.

FLY
These guys have implanted the world's smallest webserver-on-a-chip into a dead fly!
This has to be the only time I've seen a feature that truely is a bug!

Australian Department of the Obvious
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade cautions any Australian considering journeying to Iraq as a "human shield" not to do so.
No sh1t Einstein!

Evil Clown Generator I don't know about you but I hate clowns. They're evil, vicious things who share the same conniving traits as dolphins and bunnies (ie: they've managed to get everyone to believe that they're cute and funny but they're actually malicious beings intent on overthrowing the planet and enslaving humans for their own ends). Phew!
Anyway, to prove that all clowns are evil, here's an evil clown generator - just try to make one that doesn't look evil.
(& if any dolphins are reading this - don't forget who has the opposable thumbs!)
(I apologise for the rant but Kim & anyone else who has been drunk with me in the past will know what I mean about the bunnies & dolphins)

WRATH
On the sixth day God created man,
By the seventh day, he'd realised his mistake.
& "Bugger!" was the word
Get your own back and play as God in 'Wrath'

Fametracker
Fametracker is an irreverant look at fame and those actors who never quite make it. Look for your favourite bit-part actor in their "Hey, it's that guy" feature.
