Web filters, easter eggs and cats that look like hitler.

I came across this wacky little contest run by the Digital Freedom Network. The winner is the one who can give the most obnoxious example of web filtering. Find out why people called Maryanne may have trouble getting e-mail addresses, thrill to tales of high schools that filter out their own websites, students who can't fo any projects on cucumbers, and lawyers whose firewall filtered out any documents containing the word "analysis". Its all here.
Another site of interest is eeggs.com here you will find easter eggs in everything from software to movies. Worth poking around in for a while.

Here's a quick story about some bastard who kicked a cat because it looked like hitler. Cute cat, stupid human.

Star Wars, Naughty Bats and Lego Porn.

When I started looking for fun Star Wars stuff I came across a number of recurring legends. You can currently see a picture of C-3PO as "picture of the moment" that shows one of the legends and the place where it is best explained. There's also a great image of the famous Fleer baseball card of Bill Ripken with a bat that says "fuck face".
In case you're wondering, the picture above is of Chewbacca's son from the Star Wars Holiday Special which is brilliantly reviewed here. Remeber that? It was the show that introduced Boba Fett (we should be seeing more of him soon - 'nuff said).

There's also a site with some Star Wars Lego Porn.

For further Star Wars legends dispelled read "Urban Legends of Star Wars" at the official Star Wars Site.

"If you can think it up - we can blow it up".

I came across this great christian site today. IT features all sorts of gory pictures of abortions and such used out of context including a picture by Max Aguilera-Hellweg of a CAESARIAN BIRTH presented as an abortion. Way honed.
With the recent terrorist paranoia perhaps this company would be best to change it's motto from "if you can think it up we can blow it up" to something else

Oh... and about the picture - apparently - it wasn't the hydrogen.

Peeps, Inside Stuff and The Devil's Rain.

I was at the PEEP RESEARCH LABORATORIES site today when I came across a link to this site and got sucked in. These people have gone through the trouble to actually find out such strange things as HOW MANY CHEERIOS ARE IN A BOX. It's fascinating in the same way that a car crash is.
I also came across an article that Ernest Borgnine fans may find fascinating. Oh... and there's also some mention of a guy called William Shatner and someone called Anton LaVey.

Lupo the Butcher

LupoTheButcher.mov

Anyone who has worked in a kitchen with me, sooner or later hears a tirade of foul language coming from my mouth followed by an embarassed explanation of "Lupo The Butcher". I FINALLY found a copy so you can all see what I'm joking about.
Speaking of kitchens ..congraduations! It's a special day for some of you.

Mood cars, THE Antichrist, and German Rock Stars

Toyota has just made a new car that's rather odd. Apparently it senses moods and reponds accordingly. Sounds pretty wacky to me, but then, I came up with the colour scheme for this site.
...Speaking of David Hasselhoff. Did you know he is the antichrist? Yup, that's right. Not AN antichrist but THE antichrist - sorry Bob. How can they be certain? According to the antichrist detector - 'taint so! Perhaps David Hasselhoff is just this guy that Germans really like.

Ve have vays of making you rock.

Haunted Houses, Eternal Life, and Full Nostrils

If you're anywhere near the bible belt you've probably noticed that a number of churches have started putting together "christian haunted houses" for halloween. They're frightening all right - This one gives me the heebee jeebies.
In case you've never seen this site. You gotta visit it. He's figured out how to live forever- that's fantastic!. Now I can get back to more important things like finding out who holds the world record for "most coins up the nose".

You can't make this stuff up folks.
