Surfing The Web So You Don't Have To
Actually, since he’s American, he’ll be “Bill Gates KBE” (which stands for “Knight Commander of the British Empire”). Full Story.
So let’s see here…If I remember correctly, he’s in the same company as a gay/bi man (Elton John), a fruit cake (Ringo Starr has been knighted, if I remember correctly), a speed demon (Roger Banister) and a pure genius (Tim Berners Lee). That’d be a fun party.
To quote the very interesting site
These 9 drawings were done by an artist under the influence of LSD — part of a test conducted by the US government during it’s dalliance with psychotomimetic drugs in the late 1950’s. The artist was given a dose of LSD 25 and free access to an activity box full of crayons and pencils. His subject is the medico that jabbed him.
If you’ve read this site long, you’ll notice that I post links from b3ta’s newsletter quite a bit. I’ve finally got around to post this one that’s been sitting in my inbox for a while: b3ta’s Best of 2003. It includes such hits as the pigeon cam, simon swears, the newspaper dogshit stunt, the man milk or moo milk quiz, the squirrel band, among others. Spend a day (away from work, as much of it is a bit vulgar) checking them all out.
Ladies and gentlemen, Vertigolf, one of the niftiest mini golf games I’ve played in quite a while.

I always thought that humans were the only animals stupid enough to get drunk and pull off stupid Jackass-like moves. Apparently elephants can, too:
Four wild elephants drunk on rice beer have been electrocuted in the north-east Indian state of Meghalaya, wildlife officials report.
Long story short, the elephants started to acquire a taste for rice beer that’s produced in some India villages. They went on a rampage, drank a bunch, ran into a telephone pole, electrocuted themselves.
Are pachyderms eligible for Darwin Awards? I wouldn’t think the awards are human-specific, considering Darwin’s theory of evolution was in regards to all species.
Thanks to Barney for the tip.
These pieces of work are absolutely amazing. I’m just now picking my chin up off the floor. Anybody know the artist? Anybody know if this isn’t just a well-done Photoshop job?
If you do, please don’t ever tell me that. But if you’re into that sort of thing, iChatnaked is looking for beta testers.
