More than meets the eye

LOS ANGELES -- The Transformers, a race of gigantic, shape-shifting robots, invaded planet Earth two decades ago, desperate to find life-giving fuel for their ailing civilization.

Now they're back, this time fueled by the nostalgia of Generation X.

The cops visited a brothel, not once, not twice, but 12 times in 2 months. Now this is what I call some fine police work.

I have upgraded our forum software and it is now open again. This software is much more powerful than our last one. I have not updated all the links yet, but all the main pages should link properly to it. I'll be doing more cross-linking to it in the future and I am going to work on ugpading the look substantially, but for now it's operational. Check out the new forums here.

Now this is serious genius. For those of you with a real sense of urgency, Toilet Type-R. Berry past! Submitted by Mafioso.

This photo is just so wrong. If that link dies, try this one. From Jui.

A real swinger

A five-year-old kid from Minnesota has patented a way of swinging on a child's swing. The US Patent Office issued patent 6,368,227 on 9 April to Steven Olson of St Paul, Minnesota for a "method of swinging on a swing". Olson's father Peter is a patent attorney.

Another from Dr. Mikee who says: "Sheep? Look again!"

From Gsohappy, who says: "and this is why I hate pigeons."

It's the first major injury of these 2002 Stanley Cup playoffs ... the Toronto Maple Leafs' #1 center, captain, and leading regular-season scorer Mats Sundin is out of the playoffs with a broken hand. A player of Sundin's caliber is irreplaceable, and it will take a lot of heart on the part of the Leafs to make up for him. Let's see if Mogilny can step up.

For the true duffer, practice even when on the can.

From SK: This is a site about photomicrography -- that is, photographs taken with electron microscopes. Pretty neat stuff.

Includes this cool Virtual Electron Microscope app.

So you screwed up and deleted your images off your CF card before you meant to? Never fear -- try Digital Image Rescue. Best thing is, it's freeware!

Lankus submitted this a while ago: Classicnintendo is a relatively mindless Flash site featuring classic Nintendo games and characters.

Five-O a go

After a ferocious bidding war, DreamWorks emerged late Monday with exclusive negotiating rights to turn the classic CBS cop series "Hawaii Five-O" into a feature film, Variety reports.

We are now armed with mighty joint

SYDNEY -- Australian police arrested five people who defiantly puffed away in public on what they claimed was the country's biggest marijuana joint, but it turned out to be nothing more than tobacco and harmless legal herbs.

The 36-inch so-called "community joint" -- rolled using brown paper as wrapping -- was part of a chaotic demonstration in Darwin Saturday by the Network Against Prohibition (NAP) against a planned tightening of drug laws.

Here's a good way to kill of a few spare minutes (like anyone has those!) ... Jigzone is an online jigsaw puzzle site that allows you to make puzzles from your own images. Pretty neat. From Jui.

From Dr. Mikee: How tell if your cat is a male.

From Tef: "American Children Are Trying To Masturbate With Electronic Abdominal Exercise Machines!" Good lord!

Ah yes, Kein Mitleid Für MicroSoft. If you are confused by this reference, you're probably either too old, too young, or you actually thought KMFDM meant "Kill Mother Fucking Depeche Mode."

This page is ostensibly about Japanese foods, but is a very prime example of Engrish. From Gsohappy, who is questioning the value of his JET tour.

Another way to waste your time: Video poker at All Gore. Kind of a neat site.

They've got a really good Mahjongg game too.

This site was up at the height of the White Geoshitties Gangsta Wannabe era of 2001, but I'm only posting it now because it was submitted. Check out White Gangstaz for a laugh and a blast from the past.
