Singingfish – Audio and Video finder
Here’s another handy resource to bookmark – Singingfish is a search engine specifically for finding audio and video. Now, don’t get your hopes up about any dodgy filesharing stuff here, from my testing it seems most useful for tracking down movie trailers or pop videos but so far it seems very good at doing just that, I tested it on some fairly obscure music videos and it found about 3 out of 4 so not bad at all.
Star Wars: Clone Wars – the Micro Series
To quote directly from a workmate;
…startin’ on the Cartoon Network on 7th November -
Star Wars: Clone Wars
Ordinarily, a bunch of late 20s and early 30s male men enjoying a juvenile cartoon would be a sad manifestation of the trend towards infantilisation of Western Society.
But FCUK it man, this is STAR WARS!!!!!
Outside the Inbox – Spam Songs
A novel idea of uses for spam here. Outside the Inbox is an album’s worth of tunes by various artists who were all asked to pick a piece of spam from their email inbox and write a song about it. The whole album is available as 128K mp3s from the site. I’m d/loading it now so can’t tell you what it’s like yet but I am hopeful…
So, so wrong
I might love my cats but there’s something plain wrong with marryyourpet.com.
On the plus side though, it’s a darn site cheaper than marrying a human, and you get a teeshirt.
Unfortunately named people pt.7
The latest unfortunately named person we’ve found on the web is…
Willie Stroker.
Shame on his parents.
XP alternative Wallpapers
Those delightful Something Awful.com goons have remade those boring wallpapers for your desktop that come with XP. I think this is a much more realistic image to have on my screen – it’s what’s on it most of the time anyway!
Oxo Tower Review
Read the first review for this restaurant. It’s a classic!
Foolish powder, Galloping horse and Reindeer dust
I found this Whitehouse website funny – just check out the Street Terms they list for drugs. Like, wow, groovy man.
Earn money fragging
I’ve finally found a way to support my wife and (future) child – gambling on computer games! The best bit for me is that they use all the games that i o\/\/|\| j00 @ l4m3r.

You are all perverts.
A new report from Thames Valley Police seems to have been sponsored by the Dept for Mind-numbingly obvious research. They’ve discovered that the majority of online pervs are white and male. Much like the majority of people in this country. Bravo on that research you idiots. Next week, results on the ‘ethnic minorities are just as perverted but have the brains to hide it better” study.
Bizarre Records
From this collection of Bizarre Records, I’ve got to point out some classics such as Devastatin’ Dave – the Turntable Slave (you can even listen to his amazing lyrics) or the Lesbian Concentrate album.
‘Nothing blows up!’
Take a bunch of little kids (ages 9-12) and give them a load of the computer games that I played when I was ‘around’ their age. Watch the Kids Play and listen to their comments (and laugh at the footnote that says;
“Note: Everything written here was actually said by these kids. Really. The only change we made was to remove the more gratuitous usages of the word “gay”.“)
Winamp 5 Beta leaked
With timing that’s clearly intended to shut up all the iTunes bores a ieXbeta Board -> Winamp 5 Betatest has been leaked onto the net. If it fulfills the promise that winamp 3 showed but still giving the performance of of Winamp2 then they could be onto a winner. Besides, who wants to use a ported Apple product on a pc, you might as well start using one-button mice again. iTunes? Pah! Get using Winamp5 , you know you want to.
Banksy gets hanged
Old gromblog favourite Banksy the subversive grafitti artist has just pulled off his best prank yet. He disguised himself as a pensioner, visited the Tate Gallery in London and hung a piece of his work up on the wall. It wasn’t spotted for a few hours and if the glue hadn’t failed to hold it then who knows how long it would have stayed up. The BBC have a picture of the piece.
Mausland – don’t go here unless you have an hour spare!
The Funjunkie guys hit gold when they found mausland. There’s no way of navigating through the site, it seems like pot luck where you end up but there seems to be hundreds of cool games and animations like the Samba de mausland dance-dance party type of game, the ‘press the red button’ game or weird axe-murderer animations. (for a bonus point can someone please put me out of my misery and tell me who sings that song in the cartoon).
Russian Prison Tattoos
Barbed wire tattooed across the forehead signifies a sentence of life imprisonment without possibility of parole.
Or it signifies that you couldn’t see what the tattooist was doing when you asked for a smiley face and the words “Have a Nice Day” putting on your forehead.
Mini-KISS – Kiss with midgets
Ever wondered what KISS would look like as midgets? Well, you don’t have to strain your imagination too much anymore – just take a look at Mini-KISS the midget KISS tribute band.
Adam Ant – Save the Gorilla
Proof that Adam Ant hasn’t totally lost it (actually that’s still debateable) – He’s gone and produced a new version of his classic ‘Stand and Deliver’ in aid of Dian Fossey’s Gorilla conservation charity. Watch him perform this classic (although somewhat unintentionally funny) version called ‘Save the Gorilla’. Respect goes out to the nutter whereever he is now.
Judge caught masturbating in court
Not much more to this story other than a Judge was caught ma5turbating in court. Do you need anything more?
Minipops quiz
Flipflopflyin have been around for quite a while now as purveyours of some of the finest pixel work. They’ve been getting a lot of attention recently for their Minipops quiz (Excel spreadsheet format) which is superb. When you get stuck then I’ve managed to fill the whole thing fully (finally) and the answers are here but don’t cheat unless you get really, really stuck.
No Copy Protection On New Matrix DVD
Some websites have started to report that there will be No Copy Protection On New Matrix DVD which I find amusing after last week’s report about how to breach certain music cd protection by holding down the shift key when you insert the cd.
playmobile sex
ok, before I go any further – this link is utterly NSFW so don’t go clicking if you’ll get into trouble. That said, I showed this link a couple of weeks ago and since then have been constantly asked to post it. It’s a little ruder than I normally post on here but I still find it quite funny (well, actually, it’s more disturbing that someone spent the time to take the photos!).
Without further ado, have a look at Playmobile figures and what they get up to when you’re not looking. Marvel as they comb, shave, trim and then Wonder as an entire band gets lost, one at a time into the depths of …well, a vag1na. NSFW.
Lego Homer
My geeky fascination with Lego continues with this 4 ft tall Homer Simpson created using 10,000 pieces of Lego. My only complaint? Look at this picture and tell me that Homer drinks Newcastle Brown Ale – it should be a bottle of Duff & the other hand needs a D’oh!nut.
Would you risk this?
You’ll need a lot of bottle (or stupidity) to have a go on this roller-coaster at Cedar Point. It’s awesome!
Celery + Gravity = Art
1950s America wasn’t all apple pie and suburbia, it was about groceries (celery in particular) and knicker-elastic, and the shameful voyeurism of municipal workers. Don’t believe me? Check out the works of Art Frahm to see what I’m talking about. (Raunchy in a retro kind of way, and reasonably SFW).
Ig Nobel winner scratches head in bemusement
One of the recent winners of this year’s Ig Nobel awards has expressed utter bemusement as to why people find his research a laughing matter. His research was about why birds don’t crap on every statue with the same amount of poo.
Star Trek apartment on eBay
The famous Star Trek apartmentis up for sale on eBay at the moment. It costs about $2m but is in Leicester which ain’t the prettiest city. The bloke who desgined it seems to have turned professional now.
Japanese people imitating album sleeves
This is fabulous! A large amount of the weirdest sites I come across on the web are Japanese. It might be that my inability to understand the language makes everything seem more bizarre but no words are needed to enjoy this site. Japanese people try to recreate their favourite album sleeve. The Aphex Twin and The Doors attempts are superb.
