Scare yourself
Scare yourself watching these
WorldMeters, then remember it's a
big planet, and not all these numbers are as
scary as they seem. (almost, but not quite)

Saddest Dr Who website yet?
Tardis Keyhole is certainly a strong challenger for the title of Saddest Dr Who website. But I'm sure theres something sadder out there.....

Time to pack up Hollywood
Yes,
final proof (if proof be needed) that it's time to dismantle Hollywood and throw it in the back of that mouldy closet you never go near. Proof? Yes indeed,
Hollywood is now so
decadent it seems it thinks it's time to give the world
Dirty Dancing 2. Maybe
Ricky Martin &
Natalie Portman to star, I hope they have more class. The
mind boggles and the
blood boils, I've only just recovered from the
utter horror of the
first one.
Yahoo has the story.

Is Today going to be surreal?
All
indications are that today is going to be
surreal, at least a little bit. For example, the
first news story I've seen today is this
strange account of a Chicken Hypnotist stranded in Scotland after a
Charity shop mistakenly
sells her bicycle.The 25-year-old from Palmer, Alaska, was touring Britain with a group of bike-riding circus artists who perform for children, financing their travels by busking in town centres and parks.
Harris performs as a fire-eater, puppet-master and concertina-player but her star act consists of hypnotising chickens and making them play the piano, she said.
She was hoping the person who bought the bicycle would realise the mistake and return it to the shop, but failing that planned to request a working visa to make enough money to buy a new one.
Fascinatingly weird, but what I want to know is, what do the
chickens actually play on the piano?

Where do rejected Ads go to die?
Why the
Ad Graveyard of course. These ads are apparently all
real, whatever that means. Some of them are
funny though. Of course I still think all
Ads should be designed by the entrants in
Something Awful's Photoshop Friday compilations. But hey, that's just me.

Time Travel Made Easy
Okay, so it's not new, but this is
still the best idea I've ever heard for how to time-travel, even though it does seem to be firmly in the Bill & Ted
"Hey, maybe it was me that stole my dads keys" mould.

AnnaK out of the tournament
Anna Kournikova knocked out of
Wimbledon in the first round by
Tatiana Panova. But not out of the nations glorious tabloid newspapers, if last year is anything to go by. Not that I'm complaining. Hmmmm.
Story covered on the Beeb.

UFO's like Scotland
Scotland has the
highest number of sightings per unit of land in the
whole wide world, apparently. SO, UFO's like Scotland, or......

Evil knick-nacks
Whether you're just a
pint-sized despot with a silly hat, or a
15ft cybernetic gorilla with a malfunctioning behaviour-inhibitor, you can find
all you need to make your dastardly plans reality at the
VillianSupply store. I think I need to get myself one of them
MORBITEK ZOMBIFICATION RAY MK I devices, a snip at US$8,250,999,999.99.
