The Walrus of LoveBarry White died this morning.
In other news, the world's population is expected to decrease rapidly.

eBay Feedback - the right way to do it
Praise: Payment recieved very quickly. Great Transaction!!! A+++++
Response: I paid with counterfiet money. Seller didn't notice.

Der-der, der-der, der-der-der-der
Surf's Up but you might want to paddle in the other direction right about now...

Octodog
Saw this freaky object on last night's Graham Norton tv show. It's a device for turning frankfurter sausages into Octopus shaped sausages. 'Why?', I can hear you ask.
'No idea', I reply.

737 Flight Simulator
Following last week's flight sim post, B3ta alerted me to this guy who is building a 737 Jumbo jet in his garage. (to be fair, if you look at the rest of his site, it looks like this is his day job as well but it's still very impressive).

Nigerian revenge tales
I've posted about guy before - he was the guy who tracked one of the Niegrian email scammers and arranged to meet him at the airport where his friend was waiting to take photos. He's now gone a step further and now has a nice collection of amusing photos of the scammers waiting for him at the airport with comedy signs ('Ima Dildo' is my favourite).

Duelling Banjos
New animation a la Joel Veitch - this guy has used the classic 'Deliverance' theme - Duelling Banjos and a penguin. Nice use of the General Lee too.

XBox humour
Two Penny-Arcade comic strips that might amuse geeky XBox owners.
Made me laugh anyway.

How to use a toilet
Apparently someone thought that an English lesson for the Japanese would benefit from having an interactive flash demonstration on how to use a toilet.

Cthulu has risen!
Scientists have discovered some baffling, not to mention gibbous, remains off the coast of Chile. The Old Ones are coming!

Crocodile Hunter Costumes
Yes, you too can dress up as Crocodile Hunters Steve & Terri Irwin.
Not sure why you'd want to though.

Toaster Case Mod
Adam Bertram's wife wanted a computer in her kitchen so that she could surf for recipes, listen to music, order ingredients & watch films whilst cooking so he built her a Toaster mod which turned out pretty cool. (Skip straight to the picture gallery if you don't want to se it being built).

|| comments ||
I've done a temporary fix for the feedback comments on the right-hand toolbar. This should make it easier to leave us feedback on broken bits and links you want me to post or any general comments (things like telling me that the links in the RSS feed doesn't work at the moment - although I know that one already, that's a Blogger fault that I'm waiting for them to fix).

Nature says 'Screw You'
Ever felt that nature is flipping you the bird?

NewsGator
If you're a regular reader of this site, you might be interested in using my RSS Feed to get the headlines sent to you every time we update the site. There are lots of ways of viewing these feeds (personally I use Trillian Pro but I've just found the easiest alternative so far - NewsGator for Outlook. It look sremarkably simple - just install then add the feed from my site and you'll be able to see updates on the site from inside Outlook. If you have Outlook open all day anyway then it's a really useful tool.

the Onanist diet
'In the 1980s, w4nking was regarded as something for nerds to do when they weren't occupied with video games'. Now it seems to be the ideal diet for desk-bound workers in Japan. Just watch out for the skinny bloke sat next to you in the office.

The Complete ACME
As used and endorsed by a certain mis-understood coyote - The Illustrated Catalog of ACME Products has the complete range as devised by Warner Bros.

Jim Carrey run over - proof of God's existence
Jim Carrey was run over the other day, proving that God does exist. Unfortunately, he was run over by Stephen Hawking's wheelchair proving that God actually has a sense of humour.

headacher
Go to headacher only if you have aspirin to hand. You'll need the pain killers after a few mintues of staring at this stuff. This one is particularly bad (I might just set it as my wallpaper at work just to annoy everyone).

Comment bug fixed!
Woo Yay!! I've finally found a fix for the irritating bug in my code that caused two windows to open when you looked at comments on this page. Bert from bert's blog gave me one line of code that cleared the whole thing up in seconds. Cheers mate! That's one less excuse you lot have to post comments on here - come on - don't make us feel lonely on here, I can see over 200 people hitting this site everyday and yet there are only about 5 people who post comments regularly. We want your feedback, honest!

DickDynamite
Mix up Pacman with Bomberman to get DickDynamite. It's a very addictive game but nothing like as dirty as it sounds.

Printer the size of your phone
This is a nifty piece of gadgetry. A tiny printer that can print on paper that is much larger than itself, or boxes, or just about anything with a flat surface. It works by rubbing it over the paper

Earglasses
They're like eyeglasses, only they're for you ears.

For those times when having a hearing aid the size of a piece of rice doesn't make you look enough like a mouse.

'Cat-Like Typing Detected'
Own a cat and a computer? You'll probably need PawSense then. It's a piece of software that detects paws on keyboards and ingores what your cat tries to type when you're not looking. It even includes a 'sonic training screensaver'.
