It’s actually REALLY well done, and the details are great, but the game is just as much of a pain in the butt as it was before. From b3ta.

Streaker Hall of Fame
Those wacky Brits. Most of the folks at this site are Brits. The site has about 30 years-worth of the best streaking incidents and people, including their 17-page hall of fame. But none is as famous as Mark Roberts, who has a couple dozen incidents documented on the site.
Tweakable Body Builder
Body-builder Gregg will appreciate this. Imagine: A dazzling display of rippling muscles at your desk any time you like. From b3ta.
Børk! Børk! Børk! Opera Børks MSN
I don’t remember where I heard about this originally, as I heard about it about a week ago, but this entry from E-Media Tidbits sums things up nicely:
Online revenge is sweet when cooked up by a faux Scandinavian puppet chef. A digital stew began two weeks ago when the Norwegian manufacturer of Web-browsing software Opera claimed that Microsoft was intentionally feeding Opera users a faulty HTML style sheet whenever they visited the MSN website, causing content to disappear and users to think that something was wrong with their Opera browsers. Opera enlisted the Muppet Show‘s incomprehensible Swedish Chef for revenge and released the “Børk edition” of the Opera browser, which turns the contents of MSN into mock-Scandinavian gibberish. The Internet Advertising Report details the delicious ruckus.
People are so stupid — It’s SATIRE you morons
Brian Brigg’s wrote a hillarious story on his site titled “Fans Angry That The Matrix Reloaded Looks Like Another Matrix Rip-off.” BBSpot is a satirical site. Its disclaimer on the bottom of EVERY page states: “BBspot is a satirical news and comedy source and meant to be funny. If you are easily offended, gullible or don’t have a sense of humor we suggest you go elsewhere.” Regardless, you should read the hate-mail he got after the Matrix rip-off article to see how stupid people can be.
Whatever Oprah says, people do
From Obscure Store: Many Twin Cities residents ran from their homes and headed to the JusTruffles shop after it was mentioned by Oprah. Customers crowded the lobby an hour before the store opened. “We forgot to lock the door, and they just started coming in,” says one of the owners. He adds: “Whatever Oprah says, people do.” Full Story.
“Please rise for President s**twit”
From NTK:
What if you really want to hit the military-industrial-entertainment complex where it hurts? One ingenious – yet anonymous – NTK reader may have an answer, in the form of a breathtakingly realistic video cover he’s created, pioneeringly depicting US President George W Bush as a fish-out-of-water idiot who just happens to find himself running the world’s least accountable superpower. What’s more, the 1614k jpg is exactly the right size for responsibly-minded individuals to print it out in glossy inkjet colour, slide it into an empty DVD sleeve, and leave it in a prominent position in their local video library/rental superstore, where, our correspondent hopes, “it should confuse and delight in equal measure”. The section you leave it in – Comedy? Action? True Crime? – is entirely up to you.
The video cover is available here. Priceless.
Deep Thoughts to Ponder
Just some things to think about today:
Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, “I think I’ll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?”
Who was the first person to say, “See that chicken there… I’m gonna eat the next thing that comes outta it’s butt.”
If the professor on Gilligan’s Island can make a radio out of coconut, why can’t he fix a hole in a boat?
Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don’t point to their crotch when they ask here the bathroom is?
If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that Acme crap, why didn’t he just buy dinner?
Why do they call it an asteroid when it’s outside the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it’s in your ass?
