Sole Survivors
Everyone loves the feeling of cool grass between their toes on a hot day. But it takes a special kind of dedication to enjoy the feeling of cool glass between your toes while walking to work on hot asphalt. The Dirty Sole Society is full of members who share this heroic level of dedication to barefootedness. Travelling across the country to get barefoot with one another in their efforts to break the vise-grip Uncle Sam (and his dreaded "shoe police") have on our mortal soles. Click around the site for pictures, information, and a laundry-list of snappy comebacks for when people look at your feet funny ("Why aren't you wearing shoes? My feet were jealous of my hands.")
Strawberry Pop-Tart Blow Torches
Strawberry Pop Tarts may be a cheap and inexpensive source of incendiary devices. Toasters which fail to eject Pop Tarts cause the Pop Tarts to emit flames 10-18 inches in height. Last year, an article by well-known newspaper columnist Dave Barry noted that Kellogg‚s Strawberry Pop Tarts (SPTs) could be made to emit flames "like a blow torch" if left in a toaster too long. Obviously this is a new frontier that requires further exploration.
Sushi Astrology
Tarot? Too melodramatic. Augury? A bit messy. Tea leaves? So 18th century. If you really want to know what the future holds, tell the Little Astrology Prince what kind of sushi you like. Once you pick your favorites from the revolving wheel of toro, uni, salmon, and yellowtail, he'll tell you what your taste in raw fish says about your luck in love, career, money, and family. (We wanted to make a pun about this all sounding a little fishy, but fortunately we restrained ourselves.)
Tai-Chia Pet
This site artfully combines the six-position Tai-Chia pet form with teachings from the Tao Te Ching to enlighten Web surfers regarding the spiritual side of countertop gardening. The novice will do well to remember that "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a footstep," "A journey of a Tai-Chia begins by soaking seeds and planter for 24 hours."
The Aura - Workstations for Geeks
Professionals in high-tech industries often spend long days seated in front of computers. But while computers are constantly being refined to be more powerful and user friendly, office furniture design has lagged behind. The Aura has changed all that - giving geeks electronic control over virtually every aspect of their individual work environments such as, air flow, seating, lighting, and even sight lines. Cool.
The Banned Book of Dr. Seuss!
Why did Dr. Seuss pull Do You Know What I‚m Going to Do Next Saturday? out of print? Could it have been the narrator‚s stated aim of pouring water on Sam and making him walk 100 miles? Or maybe it was the part where the lad shoots guns with the U.S. Marines: "The Marines will like my shooting. And they are going to like me." Or perhaps it was his eerie prediction that "They will take me away in a big tin can" (and dump him over a wall). That this title made it into print is supremely odd; that it found its way onto the Net was almost a given.
The BS Poll
The BS Poll is the first ranking system devised that takes fan voting into account! The BCS could care less what the fans think, but the friendly geeks at AlphaGraphics devised the ultimate solution for the BCS mess.
The Bureau of Missing Socks
The first organization solely devoted to solving the question of what happens to missing single socks. It explores all aspects of the phenomena including the occult, conspiracy theories, and extraterrestrial.
The Darwin Awards
The Darwin Awards commemorate (the remains of) individuals who eliminate themselves in an extraordinarily idiotic manner, thereby dousing our gene pool with chlorine. Albert Einstein, Scientific Advisor to the Darwin Awards, was quoted as saying "Only two things are infinite -- the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe." Warning -- these macabre events are not for the faint hearted and may cause cynicism.
The Flat Earth Society FAQ
The truth is finally told. Forget the brainwashing and all those fake NASA photos, the Earth is flat, people, and it always has been. If you feel duped, don't be ashamed: Life is a learning experience.
The Foil the Filters Contest
Protect our children! There are so many horribly offensive Web sites floating around out there violating the minds of our children ˆ thank goodness the Web filters are hard at work protecting them. This site features the many ways theses filters are saving souls.
The Funny Name Server
Admit it. You've done this at least once in your life. As you were looking up a number in the phone book, a funny listing caught your eye. As you chuckled at the poor sap whose name is also a curse word you thought, "If I had nothing better to do, what other funny names could I find in the phone book? "That's where the Funny Name Server comes in. They've done all the work for us! They have listed thousands of funny, interesting, strange, and offensive names in phone books. We just hope yours isn't listed there.
The Lawn Chair Man
Looking for a great summer activity for dad? Larry Walters went to his local Army-Navy surplus store and bought himself 45 weather balloons. He then went home, tied one end of a cord onto the bumper of his jeep, the other to his favorite lawn chair, strapped on the helium-filled balloons and decided to partake in a leisurely float above his back yard. Needless to say, the cord broke and Larry found himself in a little trouble as he ascended to 16,000 feet and n the path on oncoming planes in route to LAX. When you go to this site, click on the link that says, "Lawn Chair Man" for a good laugh.
