::: Seconds Of Madness :::
Insane game - ::: Seconds Of Madness ::: is so simple it takes seconds to learn but it's intense. Brilliant.

GIANTmicrobes!
Stuffed animals that look like giant microbes. It even makes Athlete's foot look cute.

The Amazing Baconizer
The Amazing Baconizer is like an Amazon version of 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon (hence the name). You can use it to link any two items in the Amazon database. It's fun even if you only use the randomiser bit.

Matrix Tabletennis
This movie from Japanese television is absolute sheer comedic genius. Watch as Japanese actors do an amazing choreographed scene without the aid of any special effects. (3Mb Windows Media file)
Superb.

Silence of the Lambs: The Musical
SILENCE! - that's the name of the Silence of the Lambs Musical with such charming songs as 'If I Could Smell Her C**t'
Sick Fcukers.

Guess what you can see in Leeds' M&S?
Some guys at work have just been into town this lunchtime and were messing around in Marks and Spencers. this photo was the result of a stupid sense of humour and a mobile phone with built-in camera.

Real Super Powers
Bit of science for today - here are 8 'Super Powers' that are scientifically feasible and are being worked on. They include regeneration, x-ray vision and force-fields.

ClubCard=double ungood
Rob from another long-time favourite - cockeyed.com - has been running his Ultimate Shopper site for a while now and although I've blogged it before, I've had it mentioned a couple of times recently. It's a simple idea, get your supermarket loyalty card and swap it with your friends on a regular basis to screw up their demographics. I used to have a Safeway one under the name M. Mouse which never, ever got commented on by the check-out girls. Rob's gone one step further and is asking people (USA only) to alter their cards to contain his ID with his usual comedy results. This guy is a certifiable genius - just look at the rest of his site if you don't believe me but best set aside a few hours to look at everything on there.

Cash mail chat system
Funjunkie is one of my favourite sites and I've posted many links and games from there but their recent Cash mail idea is a beauty! The idea is... well just go and read it - it's a way of having a converstaion with your mates using the online banking systems by continually transferring £1 backwards and forwards over and over again. If you've ever been hit by a large overdraft fee then think of this as a pleasant way to get revenge and keep in touch with your friends.

Goatse is a hermaphrodite!
No link 'cos no-one needs to see it again (& if you haven't ever seen Goatse then I won't inflict it upon you, you can go find it yourself) but I've just been forced (no, really) to see a page that purports to 'prove' that the infamous Goatse bloke is actually a hermaphrodite (ie: not just a 'he' but a 'she' as well) which is meant to explain the rather 'wholesome' nature of the picture!
If you absolutely have to see this evidence then you'll easily find it on Google but personally I've had more than enough of that guy's ass and will sleep happy if I never see it again.
Eurgh! Enough already!

PS2 -> PC joypad convertor
Got a Playstation 2 but can't play games on your? Or if you're like me, you don't have a PS2 but do own Vice City for the PC and found it unplayable on a keyboard and mouse. Why not try the USBPS Joy Converter?
Now I just need someone to update bleem for the PS2 and I'll be happy.

The Official Engineer Homepage:
Remember the old Ultimate Ninja page? Al just sent me The real Ultimate Engineer page.

t'interweb is sh1t
Give an infinite number of monkeys typewriters and they'll produce the works of Shakespeare. Unfortunately, I feel like I'm reading all the books where they didn't. I can't wait for the day when the internet makes me rejoice in its possibilities again. But right now, it's sh1t.

$$$ Added Bling $$$
Need soem extra bling bling to go with your new teeth? Try IceShop2K - The Original HipHop Jewelry Source (so they claim) - doubt they're genuine considering the price ranges don't stretch much over $50.
Can anyone spell cubic Zirconia?

$$$ Mr Bling $$$
Mr Bling - for all your gold & platinum tooth needs. Yes, you too can look as big a plonker as Goldie or even Mick Hucknall.

Kittens used as fishing bait
Another story that I hope is a joke, a report from Italy has been sent to me that says that anglers have been using live kittens as bait. If it's not true then it's pretty funny though.

Bunny Sees Boobs!!
Modern art just got wierder - 'Bunny Sees Boobs!!' is a the first sculpture in a series of dirty bunny pieces. Can't wait to see the rest.

How to Create a Golem
Ever wanted your own pet Golem? Here's how to make one from the comfort of your own home. I've been obssessed by these creatures ever since I read about them in an old Batman comic and then found out that they are meant to be a real creature that's part of the Jewish faith. (Note that I mean Golem not Gollum - these ones are far cooler!)

The Squirrel Defense League
It's not just dolphins & cats - The Squirrel Defense League also believe that squirrels are planning to take over the world.

What is Stephen Hawking on?
Following on from last week's revelation that Stephen Hawking had run over Jim Carrey, this week he's been spending his time at Stringfellows the famous strip club in London. What do they put in his water?

Don't Copy that Floppy
Superb! 'Don't Copy that Floppy is 16.5Mb of hilarious rapping by a baggy-trousered, breakdancing loon employed by the software industry trying to convince the 'kids' not to become software pirates. Not only did it not work but it had the opposite effect, I made 3 copies of this video alone!

The Carputer
Nice little package known as a Carputer, it claims to be capable of GPS navigation, MP3 playback, in-car theater, in-car gaming, and in-car office. You'll need an additional screen (since no other input device is available then I'd suggest a touchscreen or wireless keyboard as well). Specs could be better than 128Mb Ram & a mere 15Gb hard drive but still a nice idea - maybe I should just build my own.

Wall Printer
Hektor is the extremely cool printer developed by two Swis students. For a non-tech description then look at this BBC article but for more images and video as well as a tech description then have a look at their homepage. Lazy graffiti artists should buy one instantly.

The sandwich board is dragged into the 21st century
At least I think it's a sandwich board replacement, either that or it's a monitor stand.
See what you think

Answers on a postcard please.

Update!: I found out some more info. They're for advertising in stadiums. I wonder if they'll let you hook up your PS2 to him at half time.

Baby Ink Tattoo
Baby Ink is apparently a Tattoo parlour for kids.
The worrying thing is that I can't find the words 'joke' or 'satire' anywhere on the site. The closest it gets is the line,'... our specially designed "Junior Needle" which is smaller and less intrusive than the ones used on adults'.

PSYCH0 B0NDAGE BUNNIES
Within the space of a minute I stumbled across the funny flash game Psych0 B0ndage Bunnies and the not-quite-active domain Vaglnasausage.com.
That's when I knew it was time for bed.
