I saw this Commonly Confused Words test in indigoskynet's LJ. I had a great deal of fun taking it so I'm passing it on for the edification of other English language freaks.

Here is an odd little frash game (thanks to gwalla for pointing it out). You send a bishi flying and the rest of the game is managing his bounces and which other characters he smacks into (different characters produce different types of effects)... the goal being to get him to cover as much distance as possible. There are aerial powerups you can use to ( Read more... )

AMC is showing The Quiet Man and High Noon tonight! W00t!

I forgot to set my essid on my laptop and ended up associating with some neighbor's wireless which has still got the default settings. I was just getting good and pissed off about how slow my net conx was tonight when I realized what had happened... :-P

On a happier note, from walkerton comes a ( Read more... )

Since I have a herculean appetite for the diverse and the bizarre, I've been going through my list of odd and entertaining sites. I forgot how great this one is... bow before the Worst Album Cover Gallery!

Quick edit, since I forgot to mention I've gotten bored with my playlist, so it is off to last.fm for some spice (old post about it here). I ( Read more... )

For those who missed it during its previous brief window of availability, National Lampoon has provided a temporary home for much of the content of http://www.supermanisadick.com/. On a related note, agentsteel53 may be interested in the story of Batman's Greatest Boner.

Edit: The site has a new, and hopefully permanent, home at superdickery.com.

The redoubtable flarecarrot pointed out an interesting development... domesticated foxes! Just another one of those things that wouldn't have happened if researchers hadn't, by pure chance, spent 45 years breeding them for that.

Meanwhile, indigoskynet passed on information about Google's phone search feature. If you search for your 10-digit number on Google, it may ( Read more... )

Okay... I saw this in walkerton's LJ, and it has been making me laugh every time I go back to it. Time for you to experience it, as well!

(Click on the Examples link at the bottom. The site design is kind of annoying since you have to keep scrolling for the "Next" button, too. oh well).

I was looking at that thing that lets you see the location of your LJ friends and realized it appears to place me off the coast of africa. There seems to be a process for fixing that, which I may engage in once I am sure the current result won't continue to be amusing to me. One thing I like about this is that it is interesting to see which of my ( Read more... )
