Coca Cola & the case of the poor grammar
Here's a series of e-mails exchanged last year between David Armstrong, a former English teacher, and employees of The Coca-Cola Company about the poor grammar in their advertising slogans. V.funny.

Lenore - The Cute Little Dead Girl
Awwww blesss - Lenore's wearing a lovely little bunny outfit... What's that you've got, Lenore? It's not.... no... please... have mercy!... NOOOO!!!!
Episode 22 - Little Bunny Foo-Foo

The Boob Cursor
Definitely NSFW - the boob cursor is guaranteed to have all your male colleagues in your office gathered around your computer in amazement - just make sure the boss isn't watching (unless he's a lad!).

'There's something I need to get off my increasingly ample chest.'
'There's something I need to get off my increasingly ample chest.'
That's how prog-rockers Jethro Tull's keyboard player David Palmer broke the news that he was to become known as Dee Palmer after his sex-change operation.

ObiShawn K'nobby's car
This car is great - in an extremely sad, geeky, girlfriendless way. IT combines the worst excesses of Rice-boy cars with the saddest obsession with Star Wars. Laydeez & gentlemen, I ive you ObiShawn's H-Wing complete with R2D2 in the trunk.

Did We Miss this?
CD-wow (up till now my favourite CD site) has been comprehensively B***ocksed

Naked rambler reaches journey's end
You know when you do something epic like get married or something - and you think "How can I top this?"... well, would you then think "I know, I'll walk 900 miles butt-naked!"? hmmm? - no, I thought not. This man did. Weirdo!

Monkeys are Stoopid
They may be able understand finite state grammar but phrased structure grammar is beyond them! P-cha!!! After all it's only the complex rules crucial to every human language! Fools!

Herve Sings! The plane, Boss, the plane!
We're not discriminatory on this site - we'll post absolutely ANYTHING to do with Herve Villechaize. For those of you with short memories (or just the young 'uns here), Herve is better known for his roles as Nick Nack in the James Bond film 'The Man with the Golden Gun' or as Tattoo in Fantasy Island. We've previously posted Dancing Herve but today I was sent Herve SINGS! which is brilliant.

Juggling Breakout
juggling game - if you need to read the instructions then it's probably beyond you.

Lenore - The Cute Little Dead Girl
Another that starts out being very wrong... but has a thrilling climax! The moral of this story? - Make like a Buddhist... or you'll get your a&$e kicked! (maybe)
Episode 21 - The Last Dance of The Ladybug

Will kill for beer
Look, the Russian army is full of Blokes

MikeRoweSoft case update
Looks like Microsoft are backing down from their harsh treatment of Mike Rowe and are trying to 'resolve this matter in a way that will be fair to him'. Which is an amazing demonstration of common sense from their lawyers.

The Webcomic List
Excellent little bit of code which drops a little unobtrusive thingy in your whatsit (you know, a little icon thingy in your clocky-corner whatsit, stop me if I'm getting too technical for you) which pops up every so often and tells you about the most recently posted web comics and links you directly to them so you can give yourself a 1 minute giggle break during those looong work days. Fun.

Condom Game
I'm sure it's already been blogged but... the principle is simple really - squirt your 'baby gravy' into the rubbers - spill your 'population paste' and you'll soon find babies all over the place. It's quite unpleasant really.(NSFW!)

Generate iTunes album covers
I know many of our readers use iTunes (might even start using it myself now that Winamp have annoyed me by making the search function next to useless now) so I thought this might be of use. RealRadix has made a cool program that lets you generate album covers for your albums by grabbing the artwork from Amazon. Very nifty indeed.

7Stone woman has 12 stone tumour removed
I saw this story a few days ago but it seemed to disappear when I went to blog it later on in the day. It's just reappeared so feel free to make a conspiracy theory of your own about it. A Romanian woman is about to have a 12 stone tumour removed from her butt. Without the tumour, her weight is only 7 stone. It's literally a big-ass tumour as you can see from the (quite gross) photo. The whole operation will be coming to a tv screen near you soon courtesy of the Discovery Channel who are paying for the operation.

Lenore - The Cute Little Dead Girl
An episode for you that contains absolutely no Lenore... slightly odd but still enjoyable.
Episode 20 - Frito The Demon

The proper use of military resources
The BBC has a report on the Russian army's proper use of military resources. To rescue beer. From under a frozen river.

Website MixMaster
Oh Look, have MS adopted the GromBlog's layout? - Naaa, just a fab site, the Website Mixmaster

Lenore - The Cute Little Dead Girl
And now... the thrilling climax to yesterdays episode...
Episode 19 - The Dream Catcher... part 2

Save The Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus
The Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus is in trouble - it' s struggling for survival against predators such as sasquatch and the bald eagle.
(actually it's not really, it's just a very well done hoax).

HOW TO WRAP YOUR FRIEND'S APARTMENT IN TIN FOIL: A LOVE STORY.
Imagine going away for a few days and finding, upon your return, that your entire apartment and absolutely everything in it had been covered in tin foil. That's what happened to Chris Kirk when he returned after letting his friend Luke stay there over New Year. In this age of lame 'prank' shows on tv, this is back to the old school of imaginative pranks that actually take some work to pull off. Absolute genius. As for the payback - Luke says he'll be disappointed in Kirk doesn't try to out-do him in the cruel-tricks department as revenge.

smack the pingu!
This is a really addicitve game which, like all classics, is dead simple, all you have to do is smack the penguin! It's like that other classic, the spear tossing game. Best I've done is 320 so far but you can bet I'll be trying to beat it when my boss goes into his next meeting.

www.mikerowesoft.com being shut down by guess-who?
17 yr old high school student Michael Rowe is in a bit of trouble - he thought it would be fun to register MikeRoweSoft.com for his domain since it sounds remarkably similar to a certain large 'writ-hungry' company. Guess what - they're sueing for the domain name. It does partially serve him right for trying to sell the domain to Microsoft but he's a 17 yr old - who wouldn't have done the same?

How to be Cool - dance like Rene
This is hilarious in a camp sort of way. Watch these 'How to dance' videos and laugh as they try to teach you some dance fundamentals. Note to these people - wearing a shirt and tie whilst trying to demonstrate Hip Hop, dub and techno music makes you look like David Brent from 'The Office'.

Death Test!
I posted DeathClock a short while ago and I found this, TheSpark.com's Death Test! just now... I don't have an obsession with death... no really I dont! Honest! But it's a cool test.

Joke Warning!!
Have you heard of the band called 'Placebo'?
- They don't do anything for me!

Lenore - The Cute Little Dead Girl
A wonderful episode... with a breath-stopping cliffhanger!!
Episode 18 - The Dream Catcher
