And now, the Best Site of the Day
(or Week, or sometimes Month!)

Mario Mahem Don't ask my opinion on tattoos. Yep, I know they are cultural icons. For some folks, they represent milestones in their lives. Here's a site that commemorates Super Marion Brothers. This is the ultimate Mario "warp".

Previous Best Links

With the internet ever changing, moving and growing, sites can appear and leave in a very short time. The RIP symbol means they either moved away from home and left no forwarding address, were abducted by aliens or are resting in peace. The decision to keep these in the archives is important. These are historic sites.

  • If Fish Could Fly You can fry a fish, but what about flying one? (or hundreds) A Brazilian fishing show host shares an easy recipe for flying fish. What seems like a fluke of nature in this You Tube presentation represents a real threat in the United States. Flying Asian carp in the Great Lakes tributary system can knock a fisherman senseless. And if the flying carp thing catches on with other species, that could put and end to the hook, line and sinker business. Leave it to the Chinese to cleverly destroy the U.S. fishing tackle industry with a trained fish.

  • Teaching New Technology If you've ever worked on a "helpdesk' you've experienced the frustration of trying to teach new technology to brain dead users. Here's convincing proof that you were not the first to fear for the survival of the human race.
    Thanks, Lou. This was a good one!
     
  • The Wonderful World of Butt Art I had an amazing photography teacher in high school. She pressed the limits by exploring the art of nude photography. Stephen Murmur (AKA Stan Murmur) pressed harder. Poor Stan. By applying pigment to his butt cheeks, and other low-hanging body parts, he managed to paint himself into a corner and out of a job.
  • Inspiration for Pumpkin Carvers This site is amazing. I just watched a documentary on the 100 scariest movies ever made, so the pumpkin designs really creeped me out.
  • When One Is Not Enough Winters in Colorado can be brutal. Come springtime, a man confined to a cabin is not the same guy when he thaws out. So, let's give the benefit of the doubt to this Web author. Just the same, this is a crazy proposal, but then again, there will probably be six women somewhere out there to take him up on it.
    Thanks, Amy. I appreciate you passing this along. BTW, how did you come across it? What were YOU searching for??
  • Bow-Lingual This goody takes the prize for the most stupid Xmas gift of the year. Man, this is less believable that the "grow your penis by up to 12 inches" pills they're pitching in e-mail. What a come on! A hunk of plastic that can translate a dog's bark into human language? Imagine, it's dawn. Fido wakes up with a woody. He rolls over and groans and the translator reads, "I need a piece of fur!" Be real! Worse yet, it's only available in Japan, Korea and the USA. Are these the most gullible countries in the world?.This whole thing reminds me of a talking dog joke. A farmer tries to sell a talking dog for $10."Why so little?" the slicker asks."'Cause he's a terrible liar!."
  • Johnny Be In Art Billed as Downunder underground surrealistic art, this collection of extremely strange works is like a bad trip on toasted banana peel. It makes your head swim and your stomach spin. Some of the pieces make, "Baby, come up and see my etchings," more like inviting someone to gaze into Jeffry Dahmer's freezer.
    Thanks to whomever nominated this site for Changing Links.
  • Divine Intervention Okay, I admit this stuff goes beyond the boundaries of good taste and far into the dark depths of kinkyness. But, maybe there are redeeming features. First, there may be a collector's value to some of these pieces of "religious" art. (They are not cheap.) Second, the whole thing is weird as Hell.
  • Automatic Flatterer If you're a regular reader of this site, you have "heard" Vistar speak of Lily the Parrot. Lily was charming and had the habit of greeting Vis everytime he walked in the door. Such warm greetings and real excitement upon entry are a real head trip. If you'd like to expand your hat size, check out this cool site. It's a genuine ego booster.

    Thanks, Nowell. You've made the Weird Site list again!
  • 551 Zippo Lighter Tricks Whoever could imagine a Zippo lighter would gain the magical attraction of a Hoola Hoop? (with flame) This site's 100% commercial content is a slight departure from our accepted Weid Site format. It's dedicated to putting Zippo lighters back on the map. Personally, I have a drawer full of them and it's neat to know they have life without igniting smoking materials. And trust me, you definitely can't be smoking wacky tobacky and perform these tricks. Some take the hand / eye coordination of Houdini. And there are 551 tricks here at last count. (I'm ashamed to say, I only knew one before I found this site. I could ignite a Zippo as I snapped it open between two fingers... real tough on the case hinge.) Anyway, enjoy and hopefully a road show will be coming soon to a bar near you.

VixenLove Man, does this bring back happy memories. Years ago, there was a global contest to find a roBOT that could fool a panel of experts into believing that it was truly a human being. Well, VixenLove is as close as I've seen to a teenager spaced out on weed. This is brilliant programming and enticing bait to be casting across AOL's AIM system.
Thanks, Stetson! This site is a really great contribution.

Ask the Revenge Lady Got a neighbor with an obnoxious barking dog? How about a boss with an attitude? A rude bartender or crude ex-spouse? This site provides all the tools you need to remedy the problem. Revenge Lady tells it like it is and has clever strategies to get the job done without landing you in jail. (This statement is not intended to imply a guarantee or warranty of any kind. If you follow Revenge Lady's advice, you must exercise some degree of common sense. In other words before you go out on your mission, for goodness sake spread mud over your license plate.)

How Autistic Are You? Take the AQ Test. Psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen and his colleagues at Cambridge's Autism Research Centre created the Autism-Spectrum Quotient, or AQ, as a measure of the extent of autistic traits in adults. In the first major trial using the test, the average score in the control group was 16.4. Like this matters? Not! Be real. If you're autistic, who you gonna tell?

.

Totally Tasteless Pin-up Calendar "Parts Pups" was a classic in its time, and this may be Italian, but it is no Raphael. The Italian casket maker's pin-up calendar simply defies good taste. Ah! So, it's a perfect candid for this list! Scroll down the page to the third section of catalog sheets and then to the downloadable calendar section. (You can stumble through the language barrier and figure out where.)
Thanks, Amy! You're a first-class sleuth!

.

Life Gems: Remember Your Loved One As A Tennis Bracelet This is one of the most disturbing concepts I've ever seen. Imagine having your loved one's ashes compressed into an artificial diamond? Wow! Tune into QVC and see Floyd featured on Diamonique Week. That's pretty disgusting... until you read deeper into the site. If you don't want to compress Floyd, you could make a sparkling pendent out of Boots the cat. Ashes to ashes and gems from dust, if the burner don't get you, the diamond's a bust.

.

Where Has Your Dollar Been? Ever wonder where your dollars have been? I didn't think so. That's totally bass-ackwards thinking. What we gotta be watching is where they're going. And just how-the-heck could they possibly know? They got a homing device hidden under in that Mylar strip or sumpthin?

.

Hacking Billy Bass It's gift shopping time again. For the last two years, Billy Bass (the elastomeric singing fish) has been a popular item. Now, that Billy Bass is on sale for under 10 bucks, you can spend a little extra and also get the Billy Bass re-recording kit. Image the fun when instead of singing, "Take me to the River" Billy does a little soft shoe to the tune of "What the f&%k are you staring at? How'd you like to have your a$$ nailed to a G@! d^#~ plank!" Go ahead, be creative :)

.

Thanksgiving Cows Give a guy a couple of plastic cows, some airplane glue and too much time with family and friends and look what he'll do! (No, he didn't apply for post office work.) Go ahead and encourage him. Pick your favorite cow. We'll feature the winner here. Maybe next year he'll let the contestants compete making anatomically correct balloon animals.
Thanks, Nowell. You rock Buddy!

.

William-Not! Can you imagine having your telephone number mis-listed in the directory as Domino's Pizza? Well, this site tells the story, and shares the incoming e-mail, of a gentleman in UK whose e-mail address was mistakenly listed as belonging to Bonnie Prince William.
Thank you, Andrew (any relation?)

.

Magnus-Opius I guess you can sue for any reason today. This one takes the cake. This site explains that the dial tone "melody" that we inadvertently play when we connect to another number is a copyrighted song. (Not kidding.) You can check the copyright status of your phone number sequence and then apply for a license through the site. License fees are not cheap. (I have to wonder if Bill Gates has something to do with this?) There are also instructions on how to dispose of your telephone equipment if you choose to not accept the terms of license.

.

Disturbing Auctions When we were kids, we used to walk downtown and go window shopping. (Not kidding.) It was cool to look at the display of wool baseball caps at Ray's Bicycle Shop, and the jars of pills and flasks of colored water at Connie's Pharmacy, and most fun of all to put your pinky in the BB gun hole in the corner of the thick green glass window at the Trust and Savings bank. (But I digress.) Today, shopping is online. And window shopping means browsing eBay. There are many treasures, and this handy site is your personal radar to home in on the real finds.

.

.

The Urinal Game Have you ever spoken to a stranger in an elevator or asked someone in the next stall how their day was going? I didn't think so. You wouldn't think of opening your personal space. To test your defenses, Flash Arcade presents The Urinal Game. (I hope my daughter doesn't think this would make a good experiment for her sociology class.)
Rikhi, thanks for your great contributions.

.

Sex on the Net This educational streaming video provides all you ever wanted to know, but were afraid to ask about Netsex. It is offered by Dr. Cleo Odzer, who makes Doctor Ruth sound like a choir girl. I know this contains mature content, but Cleo makes it hilarious. Her Cybersex partners have no clue their comments are being broadcast to the world.
Thanks, Cleo. You're such a trip :)

.

Sleeping in Airports Now that schools across the country are back in session, millions of college kids have already found out that, with the tight economy, there won't be enough beer money this term. To help save a few bucks, here's a comprehensive guide to free lodging.
Thanks, Mickey. Every little bit helps.

.

Presidential Motivation Folks outside the United States just don't understand American politics. Why, it's not all capitalism. There are human rights issues, environmental concerns, an educational agenda, and all that activity needs funding. So they can make fun of George W's motivations, but imagine what this site would be like if it was our former president chasing a cat across the screen. (In "amusements" select Leader of the Free World.)
Well done, Nowell. An excellent contribution. Send site suggestions any time.

.

Graffiti.org In honor of the fifth anniversary of this site, we bring you a massive collection of art by urban legends. Famous folk like: Spike, Antmen and YoYo. The world is literally their canvas. "Art Crimes" was developed by Susan Farrell in 1995 as her Masters' project in Information Design and Technology (IDT), a graduate program in Georgia Tech's School of Literature, Communication, and Culture (LCC). So, if Susan got a master's in spray paint, do I get a doctorate in humor?

.

Mike the Headless Chicken I lived in Colorado and visited the Western Slope many times, but never ran across Fruita, Colorado or the Mike the Headless the Chicken. And if I had, Mike would likely be missing his spleen instead of his head. I dunno if there really ever was a "Mike" but it makes a great story and might help to put this tiny town on the map. (If anyone knows the fate of Tiny Town, CO, please let me know. But, that's another story :)
Thanks Barbie. You do have wonderful taste :) Yum

.

Ugly People

Some may find this site offensive, but the flip side is that it could be viewed as an art gallery of extremely unique, cosmetically-diverse human beings. If art was confinded to a standard, it would no longer be art. And if all people looked the same, life would be all Barbies and Kens. How totally boring.

.

Presidential Appointee Survivor's Guide You've made all the right political connections, raised impressive campaign contrtibutions for the "right" guy and you've be tapped for the best job of your life. Your clients have been distributed to other partners in the firm, your house is sold, the kids are enrolled in Bethesda private schools, and now you find yourself up the Potomac River without a partisan paddle. As the disillusionment sets in, this site comes to the rescue.

.

Dancing Paul After the last two sites, it's time for something mundane. "Dancing Paul" is more fun-with-Flash. Ah! Like Flash dancing! I get it.
Thanks, Pauley. -- If I carried your nomination around a little longer, I could have given birth to it. (For those who haven't heard the gag... nine months would do it.)

.

I'm a Cow, Moo! Wow! This brings new meaning to milking a cow. It's utterly disgusting and funny too. Please be aware, the site requires a pretty fast connection and some horsepower inside your puter box. It's rated "R" for raunchy scenes of a cow in bondage.
Bill in San Diego. Please remind me to not take long ocean voyages with you! (Ha! Hope the albacore are treating you right!)

Eugene, the Crooning Child This is too weird. Is that possible? Someone's been saving this one for you for a long time. (Likely written on the back of a gas receipt crumpled deep in a side pocket.) Do not mix this site with anything that resembles drugs. Trust me on this!
Oh!, Susan! Where in the world did you find this jewel? Absolutely incredible, and such fun, too!

.

Prison Bitch Nickname Everyone likely has a nickname; some monicker they hung on you in gym class. You see evidence on vanity license plates and in body art. Before you let anyone put ink in your flesh, here's a chance to improve your lot. Check it out. You may have better luck than you ever had in the boys locker room.
Thanks, Dan. You the man!

.

Get Noticed! No kidding! These cool little comsmetic devices could clear off a dozen barstools. They say they are designed for men, but as one writer notes, "How do they stay on men?" Well, from my point of view, it would be nice to have a pair of these around so I wouldn't have to set the air conditioner to the "max".

.

Station Wagons The first car I drove was a 1962 Ford Country Squire. It was ivory white with stick-on "woody" trim, red vinyl interior and it had a very uncomfortable third seat. A wind spoiler was added to the roof at the rear so that when you lowered the electric tail gate window while driving, you would not be overcome by noxious road gases. So, for all those who long for an extra long vehicle, this site's for you.

Godawful Fan Fiction This dry but wry site is filled with moments of brilliance. The logic of the site is like a Mobius Circle or an Escher pen and ink drawing. It seems to make progess, but goes nowhere. Somehow critiquing fictional interpretations of fiction becomes very fictional. --Vistar looks to the bottom of his coffee cup and finds more coffee reflected in the china. Isn't this a case of less is more, more or less?


Crow, thank you for your readership and contribution. Can you help me understand the difference between Mary Sue and Mary Jane?

.

Build Your Own Cow For the grand opening of the newly designed Weird Site of the Day, I originally planned to do a write-up on the Most Annoying Site on the Web, but after seeing how great the new site (here) looks, decided it would be better to leave readers with a good taste in their mouths. So, how about ground beef on the hoof? You've heard of "Have it your way." Here's the Ultimate do-it-yourself burger.



Thanks, Alan, for this great suggestion.

.

Hats of Meat The first rule of public relations is to be honest. The second is to never apologize. So here's the straight poop. I've been lazy and also have grown very tired of this page layout. Nothing has changed over the past four years but the links and it's time to give this thing a new look. Maybe a hat of meat or something jazzy to bring it up to the design expectations of our good readers. What can be said about a site filled with hats of meat? At least no one has violated a crown rack of lamb (so far).



When I lose focus, Charity seems to sense it and gives me a good kick in the butt. Thanks, Kiddo. I needed that :)

Willard Library Ghost Cam Nestled in a bend of the Ohio River, Evansville is almost secluded from the rest of the state of Indiana. It is here that we find a Victorian library whose red bricks may provide shelter for true ghosts. Use the Evansville newspaper's ghost cam to peer between the musty stacks and see for yourself why some visitors leave the Willard feeling like their fingernails have been run across the surface of an old blackboard.



Thanks to my ex-wife, who is a ghost-believer-inner; to my dear friend Barbara, who introduced me first-hand to the Willard secrets, and to the neat people of Evansville, Indiana who maintain the building for its wonderful architecture.


Derek's WalMart Receipts Over the years I've seen a lot of truly weird sites, but this one is way, way up there. I even have a drawer of expired coupons, but WalMart receipts? Good grief! I'd rather see his grocery list.. At least I'd get some ideas for dinner.



Barbara, you've done a great job of, as you say, "finding social commentary." If this is where we're going, I hope the future provides rebates.


Rocketguy Here's the ultimate Flash Gordon rerun. This Oregon state inventor, flush with royalties from his successful "Air Bazooka" has decided to become the first human to launch himself into space from his backyard and return unharmed (he hopes.) Travel safely, Rocketboy, and happy landings.

Lileks.com This is a site without a meaningful name. Follow it back through "The Institute of Official Cheer" and see if it doesn't bring a smile. And today is a great day for one. It's going to be 95F here with 95% humidity. The forecast is for rain. Duh! Rain will fall from air. Today is good day for smiles :)



Flamers What an exciting combination. College students and explosives. This Dublin-based organization looks like they're having fun while exploring all kinds of harmless pyrotechnic possibilities. (I'm glad they're not meeting in my basement.)



Good one, Hill. There is enough information and supplies provided in this site to make much more than a flame, more like a bomb flash.


Jerry Garcia's Autopsy Oh, man. Talk about a bad trip. Poor ol' Jerry did an "8-way" and it opened him up to all kinds of groovy experiences. (Not to worry, gentle reader. This one is all in fun.)



Way Too Personal Have you played around with Internet dating? Most are large groups of personal ads that include a photo and a little about what turns you on or off. Well, this cute piece of work is about someone who sounds like pure TROUBLE! (Oh, am I glad that I have not written to her!)

Nipple Addition Surgery This silly site reminds us that looks are everything. But, looks can be deceiving, too. Dr. Zizlesse suggests that the addition of an extra nipple or two can make unsightly bulges look attractive. (Too bad this site is so homely :)



Thanks Lenny! (I orginially credited Barb, but I got confused as to where the nomination came from with all those nipples flying around :)


Pylon of the Month At first I thought the title was "Python of the Month" and that sucked me in. As it turned out we're talking about supports for high-tension wires, and actually I like that much better. If we're going to taint milk, cause premature baldness and feed the Viagra demand, then there much be some redeeming qualities to those big gray towers that add so much to our landscape.



This great site is also from Lenny. And he's got a two-in-a-row thing going now :)


Stinky Meat Project I can see the irony in this site recommendation. There are real similarities here. The site author buys a couple pounds of meat, places it outdoors in the sun and reports daily on new happenings. Serendipity? I think not. Anyway, I have no idea if day 18 was yesterday, a month ago or two years ago. I hope the author recovered from food poisoning. Now, that's truly ironic.



Oh, Lenny! This one is a real head turner :) Thanks much.


LPSG Calling this a support group is one of the better puns. On advice from Net Granny, I will not tell you what this site is about, but I assure you it is a growth area. Grouch Marx said, "I would never be a member of any club that would have me as a member."

(Thanks, Mary) This will not become an issue unless there is an organization for those endowed as hamsters.


Thanks Rhett. This gives me something to aspire to.


Be My Friend Move over, America's Funniest Videos. You have international competition. Sweet Adina from Romania via mpeg video makes a strong appeal. "Be my friend. Send me anything, e-mail, movies, attachments." I have complete confidence the readers of this page can help her out. Lucky that 3-dimensional objects can't go via attachment or she'd have a communal living room full of blow up dolls.



Many thanks to Princess7 from the UK for this one. And please refrain from sending Adina ILOVEYOU notes :)


Comparative Mammalian Brains Talk about Brain Drain! Here you will find well-preserved examples of various mammalian brains. You will notice there were no examples of lawyers' brains. How very interesting.

Sodaconstructor Now that Tax Day has past many of us may feel sucked dry. So, here's something you can do with soda straws and a java script.


Thanks, Brad. This is extremely cool. I have to admit I had no clue what was going un until I opened the screen to full size.


Official IRS Homepage The United States is one of the few countries in the world with citizens who pay taxes voluntarily. (Yep, *right!*) In reality, the government formed an agency called the IRS to scare us into paying through the use of bad humor. As you will see, this site is not funny at all. In fact, it's pretty offensive.

Sound-bite Theater of Mutants Tennessee William's would get a stiff wrist playing with this little "Way Way Off Broadway" gem. You control the actors, the venue, but not the script. It's actually pretty intellectual (nah, not really at all :)

Project Denny's This is one mighty strange site. It's ultimate evidence of too much time on someone's hands. It can take hours and hours to be served at a Denny's so let's drive across the country to wait? This makes absolutely no sense at all.

Save the Tulip Springtime... when a young man's fancy turns to love and tulips. Springtime... when a young man's fancy turns to love and lawnmowers... hence lopped off tulips. (Mom told me the next best thing to chopping them off is to "heel" them under.)



Thanks Carissa. This was a timely alert. I haven't cranked up the lawn mower.


Who wants to be a president? This little gem is the work of the Phoenix News-Times. It lets you test your ability to not just *be* the President, but to win the election. Hence extra votes can be won for doing the exact opposite of how your momma brought you up.

Not Milk! As a kid, I had friends (yes *I did*) who would do anything to get out of drinking milk. No stunt was too dramatic, even making choking sounds and blowing out their noses. Frankly, had this site been around when we were little, none of us would have consumed milk. I mean, you *do* know where milk comes from don't you? (It's not little paper dairy cartons.)

Final Meal Requests I'm alive! (But looks like a bunch of others aren't.) Every now and then there is a site that is so weird, so strange, so disturbing, it makes me jump up from the La-Z-Boy, open WS_FTP and stick a few words on here. And this is the state that might produce our next president? Good grief! They're practically running a McDonald's franchise (minus the Happy Meals) down there!



PinkTalon! Honey child, where'd you come up with this jewel? You've undone yourself :)


The Official Mile High Club Having attended the Univ. of Denver and being in a fraternity, I memorized the lettering on the steps of the Colorado state capitol... 5,280 ft above sea level. A lot of strange things happen at that altitude. But, if you're in an airplane at that height with your sweetie, a lot more creative things can happen then you'd ever imagine sitting on the Capitol steps.

The Green Room No doubt you've heard of Johnny Carson's famous Green Room. Hey, it wasn't the Green Door, or anything kinky, but it was the "ready room" for many of Carson's greatest acts. And this site promises to be the Green Room of the Internet, a staging area for witty entertainment. Until the new season begins, you'll have to be content with their video archive. Should you venture there, please tell me that the woman on the sofa in The Green Room's PSA is holding a black cow snake and not something else.

Me! A day, or two or three, in the life of Me! No, not Me-Me, but Vittal Me. I thought the saddest thing I had heard about working was the poor guy hired to perform quality testing of Q-Tip brand anal thermometers until I read Vittal's site content.



Good luck Vittal. What more can I say?


The Hothouse There's so much stress in the air as we near the end of the world... errrr year, Yes! year, that I think we all need a little levity. This site is so creative and great fun. Enjoy fellow Centurions :)



Oh, thank you, thank you, Elana. It finally showed up in the browser and was worth the wait :)


Name That Bar It's almost Christmas. (Gee, no kidding?) And for people who know me, they know that I am excited. Christmas is a time for... C H O C O L A T E. My drug of choice comes in many shapes and sizes. At this mouth-watering site you can test your chocolate knowledge and take a shot at IDing samples of the opium of the masses.


As a kind of thanks for hanging in there over the years as I've lived with chocolate addiction, this site find is dedicated to the people who feed me chocolate. Keep doing that and I'll follow you anywhere :) Merry Christmas to all, and to all a sweet bite :)


Ya-Hooka! A spoof on Yahoo!? Not according to the creators. They say it's coincidental. I'd describe the site as a very well organized directory of Internet materials on a heady subject.

Bubbles, Lots of Bubbles I have a dear friend who has the most amazing bubble lights on her Christmas tree. So I began to look for them online and instead found the Mecca for bubbles. Here you'll find the secret formula for mega bubbles and enough about bubbles to impress your friends and scare low-flying aircraft.

Brazilian Internet Ads? Great banner ads or another Urban Legend? You'll have to be the judge. All I know is that once we tried to sell a client on showing a guy "mooning" from the top of a staircase and got the bum's rush out our client's office. And this is why my parents sent me to college to study advertising? :)



Thanks, Dan. And see, I wasn't out crawling through gutters as you imagined :)


BreastPals This one is a pressing matter. It's a semi commercial site with some neat freebies you can view. And, it's mostly for a good cause. The colors are bright and I only wish this one was in braile.

Way to go Marc! Looks like you've got a handle on the pastels.


Where's George? Deep inside my pocket? Ever wonder where your hard earned money goes? Don't bother asking your congressman, instead check out this web site to check up on the whereabouts of the dollars you've left here and there.



Wow! Two on the same site! Thanks Brian and Barb. (Brian, if you knew who Barb was, you'd gladly give up your share of the credit for one of her smiles :)


Will Hertes' Letters I once worked with a guy who collected famous peoples' autographs. He did it by writing asking them the secret of their success. Stroking an ego is a powerful stimulant. (No other thoughts please.) And so his queries drew heavy response. In Hertes' clever way, he did it with prank letters, only instead of collecting autographs, he collects peoples' time. -And who says letter writing is dead? (Only if you get caught :)



Thanks, Scott. Great site and concept you have here. Glad you only have my e-mail address :)


I Wanna Be Famous Hey, we all want our chance to be in the Limelight. What would you do for your ten seconds of fame? Would you fill out an application and send a photo? And if you became famous, would you still speak to us? -Just checking :)



Neat site you have there, Bill. I may send the straitjacket photo and a bio just for laughs :)


Billy Bob's Discount Eggs Talk about knocking off and discounting designer genes! Wow! Billy Bob (and Cyberstudio) have cornered the market on selective breeding. So if you liked the idea of Ron's Angels, but thought they were a little pricey, here's a great option. But remember, you *do* get what you pay for :) Oh, and Happy Halloween!

Shopping Cart Abuse With no end to Dot Com in sight, there are more shopping carts than ever before. And with so many carts, you just know a few have rolled outside the norms of society. Here are the shocking, true stories of shopping carts gone bad.



Mary G., as they say on the Windows Virtual Slot Machine, "You Ween!" Thanks, my friend :)


Extreme Bubble Gum A new way to blow your mind. It's not extreme unless it's at least the size of your head. (As a parent, I think I'll start to keep a can of Freon handy to free my kid's hair.) This is one of those sites that's fun to read about, but you hope to God your kids don't try it.



Neat Joe. Thanks much. Does create an advantage for bald headed people, doesn't it?


Ron's Angels Just about the time you think the human race is evolving into something a little better, you see something like this. Ron, buddy, this is like breeding championship cattle, but there is something ethically questionable about buying eggs and sperm to breed championship children.



Thank you, Barbara. Since I used your personal newspaper to find this one, you get full credit. (Have you ever thought about the children we could have raised? How scary ;)


Graham Barker's Naval Fluff We're not talking about tall tales of ships at sea. This is the ultimate excess drier lint accumulated over years of sweatshirts rubbing against an ample tummy. I wonder if you could spin this stuff and knit a sweater? That would be the epitome of recover, reuse and recycle.



Hats off again to Charity. You do stumble across the good ones :)


NoFishing.Net This was like a giant wake up call. "Get out of your bunk, Vis, the fish are protesting!" I had no idea my eating habits were so controversial. Wow! What's left? Air fajitas? Next thing you know, we'll find it's unsafe to drink water or breathe air. Oops!



Thanks for this one, too, Dan. I really did enjoy fishing with you.


Famous Mug Shots How famous people look behind bars. My favorite is Pee Wee Herman. He makes you shake your head and laugh. What a total screw up.

Psychic Puppy Lots of silly mental stuff can be found here. Ask the Magic Dog Biscuit and all your questions will be answered.



Good grief, Jonathan. You sent this in almost a year ago. Sorry, it was lost in the chaos :)


N U F O R C Within the last 24 hours, tens of millions of people across North America observed a huge white dish floating in the night sky. (Vis.. Hey, Vis! That's the moon ya big dummy!) Oh, then, that's entirely different. Okay, um well, you can go to the National UFO Reporting Center and report your findings or read about actual sitings. (Vis, you are too much!) Yes, and I'm excessive, too :)



Dawn, I'm so sorry. I was right in the middle of doing this link and thanking you when I was abducted by alien wenches. (Vis, look at this package...it's allen wrenches.) Okay, I was close :)


Japanese Engrish Wow! Talk about lost in translation! This one captures the power of the English word in Japan. After reading this, no wonder they live on an isolated island.



Many thanks to Aida from Sunny Singapore. (Aida, it is more than sunny. Even the Merlion is sweating. It's 30 degrees Celsius! :)


Poo Poo Platter The Vistar Weird Site of the Day knows no shame (it also knows how to advance in the Search Engines). This shameless site offers to send poop anonymously to the recipient of your choice. (happy sigh) Ah, the Web brings modern convenience to our fingertips :)



My, my, my, Jeffy. That was some find. Glad it was in your yard and not mine.


Electric Amish We began by looking at Parodies and then found this unusual band site. The whole concept is outrageous. Couldn't they find better looking beards?



Thanks for starting this one, John. Have you ever heard their music?


The Ultimate Bad Candy (Laughing to myself.) There were three or four candies when I was little that were truly barf starters. Those little molded raspberry hard candies with the soft center... anything with the word "Mounds" in it, and last but not least, anything that was even semi-like maple. In tribute to the candy we all ate because we "had to" we dedicate this link.



Wow! Sheila! Great suggestion! Now I need to find that old box of saltwater taffy I had hidden away with the fruit cake my ex made 10 years ago.


Solemates Welcome to a multimedia extravaganza celebrating a century of footwear. Kind of a foot fetish frenzy. I dunno, it looks a little overdone to me. Well, duhh! That's why this was the shoe-in for Weird Site of the Day.

Freedom Ship Ah! The lure of life at sea. The sound of gulls calling out from the sky above, and gentle waves lapping against your 23 story high penthouse. Ah, come on. Look at this site and tell me with a straight face it's for real? This is like the story of the Titanic on a 100x scale. I could probably live for two years on a trawler, but not for one week in this floating zoo of humanity and opportunism... and that's assuming this thing will even float upright.



Anchors away, James. Have you sent in your reservation yet?


Dumb Laws Here's enough stupid stuff to fuel morning radio for the next year. I didn't get beyond my own state after discovering I break three local ordinances on a regular basis. (No, no... Not crimes against nature... Everyone knows it's not nice to fool around with Mother Nature.)



Good job, Tim. This must have been like finding fresh roadkill, huh?


Special Web Time-Waster Bonus

    Interactive Patient Okay, contestant, you have 30 seconds to correctly diagnose the disease and beat the Reaper.

    The Palace This is an incredible time waster. You too can be an avatar. Have fun!

    Web Cameras Everywhere! Better pull your curtains closed. Web cameras are everywhere. Should be called 'voyeur vision'.

Ah, go ahead. Nominate your favorite weird site for the list. If it's accepted, cool things have been known to happen. Many folks have reported pleasing hot flashes and sudden runs of good luck.
