According to this
article, the government in Rio de Janeiro is having a problem
with the numerous party-goers, drunks, homeless and street kids.
Nope, it's not violence or disturbing the peace, but peeing
in public place. It seems the smell of urine is filling the
city, prompting the city to spray strawberry perfume, which will
hopefully cover up the smell.
"We're going to spray it in
Rio's 850 squares and instead of pee there will be strawberries
in the air," said Vicente Cantini, president of Rio's Parks
and Gardens Foundation.
Have you checked
out Brad the Game yet?
It's been around for a while, but is still a good way to waste a
few (or more) hours.
Since it was fairly easy, I've also re-done the Audio
Section. If you have any comments on the recent changes, be
sure to post
them in the forum. I may change the pictures to a design like
the movies, but it won't be anytime too soon, that's for sure.
Today's update was late, but with good reason. First off, I've finally
re-coded the site to work with Netscape, as well as IE. Yes, the
22% of you who use Netscape can now surf the site the way it was
meant to be seen. A side effect of this is that the news archive
is temporaly off-line, mainly because I'm too lazy to update those
pages today.
Secondly, and perhaps most importantly, check out the new
Movies Page. I've comepletely re-designed it to include thumbnails,
and while I was working on it I threw in five new clips. I think
it looks pretty damn nice, so go take a look!
Some of you might remember Captain Immy from way back when. Well
he's back with his new website, Lickmysweaty.com.
There's only a couple of features there now, but more is being added
every day, so go visit!
I'd start out by listening to the EmiNapster
song.
You may find
this link
pretty funny. It contains Mr. T, Tupac, and Cheetos; consider yourself
warned!
I strongly recommend you visit The
Ultimate Bad Candy Web Site. I'm not exactly sure what makes it
so "ultimate;" but since it's the first bad candy website
I've seen I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Anyway, this site
contains reviews of fine sweets & goodies such as Tamarind.
"Tamarind is described
by it's makers as being the "Fleshy Part of Frut." I don't know
exactly what "frut" is, and I can only hope that it isn't really
covered in flesh, but I can assure you of one thing. "Frut"
was never meant to be ingested, even when ground up in to a
muddy, sticky, pulpy, highly viscous mass. But the muddy mystery
doesn't end there. Oh, no. As Ben puts it, "If the black, sticky,
pulpy compound is indeed the 'flesh of frut,' then the hard
bits can only be the 'bone of frut.'" Mixed up inside this sludge
of sleuthdom are rock hard chunks of unidentifiable origin,
presumably the pits of "frut." Why these pits were not removed
during the Tamarind manufacturing process defies logic, since
they ARE NOT EDIBLE!"
The site contains reviews
over over ten candies, all of which are worth reading.
As you can see, I've moved the files off the main page as part of
the layout update I've been working on the past week. I still have
a few things to fix, but for the most part I think it's pretty good.
(Well, except for those of you using Netscape; I promise I'll fix
those bugs eventually.) I've also put up a new poll; be sure to
vote!
If you have any problems or suggestions, feel free to post
them in the forum. You don't need to be registered in order
to post. I may try experimenting with thumbnails later this week,
just to see how well they would work. Expect lots of new pictures
soon, too.
Are you looking
for the secret to a long and healthy life? Does disease have you
down? Why not try some Urine
Therapy!
"Urine therapy is effective
against almost all illnesses. There are numerous illnesses reported
around the world to be alleviated by urine therapy, from cancer
to rheumatism to dementia to cosmetic beutifying, etc. It is
fitting to describe urine therapy as a miraculous medicine effective
against all illnesses."
The site details the history of urine therapy, as well
as what it cures and how to effectively apply it, but does not include
any pictures. (You know you wanted them!)
According to this
article, some guys in Australia were wondering what the people
responsible for stealing electric power did with all that energy.
What did they find out? The majority of all power thieves used
the electricity to grow marijuana.
"Electricity theft for
hydroponic marijuana cultivation was the fastest growing area
of power theft, the Electricity Supply Association of Australia
said, estimating the cost at as much as A$120 million (US$68
million) a year."
Three very funny movies for your enjoyment today, the strange Wheelchair
Rebecca and the even stranger Coonballs series, which is a commercial
for this
Japanese company. Can anyone tell me what either of these movies
are about? Post it in the forum!
While we're on the subject of the Japanese, you might want to check
out this
news story about the problem their having with rowdy passengers
on airlines.
"Other incidents included
a passenger who secretly videotaped a female flight attendant
using a camera hidden in his bag. Another man reportedly struck
a flight attendant in the face after she chided him for groping
a female passenger, the airlines said."
Looking for the perfect definition of irony?
How about an environmentalist, who's currently trying to break a sailing
record in the name of whale and dolphin rights, having to call of
the trip because he ran
into a whale? I suppose it would have been better if the whale
or the hippie had been injured/killed in the accident, but we can't
have everything.
I saw this on Fazed
a while ago; "My
Homepage" describes the lives of all the people living in Gregg's
trailer park. I'm not really sure how to describe this page, except
by giving you this excerpt:
"I think this is my pop, he dont live with us anymore
cus he cant be around animals or electric kitchen stuf. "
The pictures and descriptions listed here
are quite funny. (And yes, this is a joke.)
Have you ever wanted to take a tour of Japanese toilets in broken
English? Well here
you go!
"This toilet is famous.
Because the Aum put poison at here. Door of toilet is broken
and cannot close. Floor of toilet is very wet.This toilet is
not only dirty but poisonous. It is hard to smell whether shit
or poison."
The small site contains picture of dirty toilets,
clean toilets, and graffiti in toilets. No, I don't have the habit
of cruising the internet for toilet pictures, I saw this on Detonate.net.
He goes to talk to his manager,
who is still within earshot. The following conversation occurs
between the two of them.
IT: "Hey, you ever see a $2 bill?"
MG: "No. A what?"
IT: "A $2 bill. This guy just gave it to me."
MG: "Ask for something else, there's no such thing as a $2 bill."
[my emp]
IT: "Yeah, thought so."
Just a quick
note: As you probably have noticed, I've tweaked the page design
again. I'm still working on the layout, but for now I think it looks
cool. If you have any comments or suggestions, be sure to put them
in this thread.
You may have noticed that I've put new ads up. Yes, I know they
suck, but at the moment they're my best option. Hopefully sometime
soon that will change, but in the meantime don't be afraid to click
them if you see something interesting. If I start to make a steady
profit off of the ads, it will mean many good things for the site,
such as it's own domain, better hosting, and perhaps best of all
contests with a cash prize, such as that wacky Zeromotion
place.
Occasionally,
it's possible to overhear some truely weird things. At least, thats
the idea behind Glassdog's
Overheard section. People write in the strange, funny, and just
plain stupid things they overhear.
"MONDAY, JANUARY 31,
2000:
The Setting: In a grocery store
The Players: Two teenagers with mullet-head hair cuts
The Witness: I was in the breakfast meats section looking for
a slab o' bacon
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- He said:
I went over her house and I was really pissed. So I just started
swinging, y'know punching the walls. I knocked these huge holes
in her walls. He asked:
So why do you think she broke up with you? He responded:
Dude, I have no idea."
I know city workers are
lazy, but this is just disgusting. Apparently someone
connected a sewage pipe to the water main in a Louisiana city.
What's worse is that this situation was not fixed for three months.
"The filters on Campbell's
washing machine, dishwasher and refrigerator ice-maker became
clogged with a white stringy substance, which she later learned
was used toilet paper."
Have you seen explodingdog
yet? This idea behind this site is a bit weird, all it is is some
guy drawing (bad) pictures to random quotes people send in. Some are
funny and some are downright strange, but in the end it's a cool experience.
After months of searching (well, it had to be at least twenty minutes)
I've found a free webserver with decent cgi-bin access. What does
this mean? The new, UBB powered forum is up, and is located right
here. Go there to discuss stuff here, post links to new files
and funny websites/news items, give feedback, whatever. Hopefully
it will be a little more popular then the old Delphi forum, which
has yet to receive a post, after almost two months of existence.
As an added incentive, I've posted a link to a new movie, Wheelchair
Rebecca, in the forums. I found it pretty funny, so go
check it out.
Have you seen
the online comic Pentasmal?
If not, go give it a try. It's extremely simple, but somehow it
keeps me laughing every time I come back.
Sumo wrestling
can be an exciting sport, as illustrated in this
news story.
"The red-faced giant automatically
forfeited the match under an obscure rule that penalizes a wrestler
for allowing his privates to be exposed by not wrapping his
"mawashi" belt tightly enough."
Are you sick of the numerous Wassup
parodies floating around the web? If not, then here's
a Quake 3 themed one. Enjoy. And for those of you who still aren't
tired of the Wassup videos, you might want to try Tardz
Wazzup. I don't even want to try to explain that one.
This is one of the funniest sites I've seen all month. Go check
out the stinkymeat
project right now. Some guy thought it would be funny to buy
some various meat items, plant them in his neighbor's yard, and
document the daily decomposition. I'll tell you right now, it is.
From the day 10 update:
"More hot dog disappearances.
This time, some evidence was left. I am guessing it's a desperate
raccoon, or perhaps an unwatched toddler. Only 2 dogs left.
The maggots are also gone. I don't know if they grew up and
flew away, or if something else ate them. I don't like either
scenario. I think I miss them."
The project is currently on day 12, and is updated
daily.
Have you seen Tripping
the Rift? If not, I strongly suggest you
download the 28mb movie. This classic video is extremely funny,
and well worth the download. And for those of you who have seen
it, but haven't been to the site for a while, there's some information
about a sequel and possible series on the page.
The new Fazed site went live today,
and is very cool. If you like funny pictures, movies, and sound clips,
go check it out.
You may get a kick out of this Flash
animation of Metallica discussing Napster.
Personally, I didn't find it too funny; however if you are a big Metallica
fan you may think different. Currently the site is down due to bandwidth
issues, however it contains a link where you can download the movie.
Thanks to everyone
who voted in the poll. The results will determine what type of content
I try to find in the future. Anyway, go vote on the newest topic and
influence the future of the site. The topic is, should I split the
site? The page has been growing, and putting stuff on different pages
will decrease the load time, but increase the number of clicks to
find what you want. Vote, and tell me what you think.
Thinking about taking a trip to Italy? Now is a perfect time to
go, as the Naples’ Archaeological Museum is currently
displaying a wide range of pr0n from Pompeii which was previously
censored by the Italian government.
"The objects in what some
call the Pompeii Peep Show — frescoes, vases, statues, engraved
cups and dozens of phalluses — have been seen in public only
for brief periods since they were unearthed when the ancient
city was rediscovered in the 1700s."
Even funnier is the picture included with the article,
which appears to be a sculpture of the devil having sex with a goat.
This is an old news item, but still funny. Check out Korean
Man Dies During Marathon Gaming Session. It seems a gamer in Korea
got so involved in the game he forgot to do things such as eat and
sleep.
"Kim Kwang-su, 37, had
been playing the game One Thousand Years non-stop for 17 hours
before his death in Pusan, South Korea."
This isn't the first video game related fatality in Korea, either.
According to the article, a few months earlier a small child died
at home while his parents were away playing video games.
Wondering what Burger King Employees do for fun? Wonder
no longer.
"Three teen-age Burger
King employees were charged with putting urine, spit and caustic
products like Easy-Off oven cleaner in the food for eight months."
People come here after searching the internet for all sorts of things.
Kickdog.wav and wassup.mpg
are two of the more popular items. Sometimes, though, the type of
things people come here looking for scare me. Here are some examples:
whats under the kilt
I guess Kilt.jpg
will show him all he needs to know.
racoon pussy
I feel sorry
for the raccoons in his neighborhood.
www.wassup.mpg
insert AOL
joke here.
sluggy freelance nudity
I love the online
comic Sluggy Freelance,
but that's taking things a bit too far.
Like funny movies? One of the best places to get
them is at the My Boot
movies page. I've been visiting this site for at least a year
or so; and while it doesn't have everything out there it's updated
every now and then with some stuff that will definitely make you
laugh.
Looking for weird
news stories? You may have already seen it, but ABCNEWS.com's weekly
Crime
Blotter page could be just what you need. From this week's update:
A 350-pound man who was mad
at his wife for spending the rent money on beer fell on top
of her during a fight and suffocated her, police said.
Darrell Moore, 30, was charged with second-degree murder, said
Jim Ulrich, public information officer for the police department.
If you haven't done so yet, please vote in the poll! I have a few
questions regarding page design I would like to ask soon. Coming
next week: enough files to make up for today's short (and late!)
update.
Only five new files today. But that's still enough to bring the
total number of files here to over three hundred. That's
quite an accomplishment when I think back to the way the site looked
when I launched it a couple of short months ago. And as always,
there's more coming soon, so stay tuned.
I've added a listing of the new files to the top of the news post.
This should help you frequent visitors find the newest stuff a whole
lot faster. Also, I'm working to implement a new forum, since it
seems everybody thinks the current
Delphi solution sucks. Hopefully I'll be able to get a UBB forum
up, but I need to find a place that offers free cgi-bin access first.
Not
much funny/weird news today. I do, however, have a couple of good
humor links. Let's start with Robot
Frank's Life. This site describes the daily life of Robot Frank,
who was made to take over the world but now lives in someone's basement.
"We each built a snow fort.
I had mine up in less then three minutes, I made it out of chunks
of ice and sticks, it was almost as big as the garage. It took
them an hour just to build a snow wall, and once they finished
it I ran it over with my neighbor's Blazer. I accidentally ran
over one of the kid's legs also, so I had to get out of the
car and be like "Don't tell your mom!! Don't tell your mom!!"
That asshole probably did though, I hate kids."
This is a good site I haven't seen before: Fazed.
Lots of good funny pictures here, as well as movies. Definitely
one worth checking out.
Here's a link to a flash
animation someone made to the famous kickdog.wav
sound clip. I've heard it before, but it's still funny. Also, here's
one that uses the squirrel.jpg
image I'm sure you've all seen before.
I strongly recommend you visit The
Ultimate Bad Candy Web Site. I'm not exactly sure what makes it
so "ultimate;" but since it's the first bad candy website
I've seen I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Anyway, this site
contains reviews of fine sweets & goodies such as Tamarind.
