HE LOOKS LIKE….
This is fun. The site HE LOOKS LIKE…. is subtitled ‘The Morbid Game of Psychoanalyzing Strangers in Pictures‘. And it works superbly – pick a random image from ggogle and write about what you imagine the backstory is (or just make one up).
I’m going to Hell
Religion’s changed a lot since I last looked! You can now find out if you have a Place in Heaven by filling in this simple quiz. I’m going straight to Hell. Which is nice.
Bunny suicides
A little while ago I was pottering through Borders Bookshop and spotted an entertaining little book. I picked it up and flicked through cover to cover giggling merrily as I went. Someone has seemingly gone to the effort of scanning each page and sticking them up on t’interweb. Is that wrong?
Revenge CD
Something about the fact that this Revenge CD and Ear Plugs set of irritating sound effects was made in France seems funny. Not sure why. Mind you, if your neighbours do get hold of a copy then you’ll be needing to take a visit to hte Ear Plug Super Store which has every possible type of ear plug (and is definitely a contender for an Unnecessarily Exhaustively Informative Website award).

The Magic Roundabout Movie
There aren’t many films that can boast a cast list of quality stars such as Bill Broadbent, Bill Nighy, Kylie Minogue (what do you mean you haven’t seen Biodome?), Joanna Lumley, Sir Ian McKellan, Tom Baker, Robbie Williams and Ray Winstone but the new Magic Roundabout can do just that. I was very sceptical indeed but check out the trailer (scroll down – it’s at the bottom of the linked page) – it looks brilliant (and gets bonus points for having the Ramones on the soundtrack). Can’t wait to see this movie.
Table Tennis
I first found this game about three years ago and I still think it’s one of the best out there, physics-wise. However, I am still completely unable to win a single game! Table Tennis
Supper With The ‘Stars’
Dreading the prospect of throwing another boring dinner party? Why not hire a celebrity and have Supper With The Stars. Yes, for a very reasonable rate you can hire your very own Z-list celeb to chow down with. There’s even some handy icons to show whether the celeb is vegetarian or my favourite;’This icon means that the celebrity suffers from a deadly nut allergy.‘
Which is handy to know if you fancy murdering Limahl with a tasty chicken satay.

This video is classic cringeworthy television. Horrible to watch.
Exploring the law of unintended consequences
I know this is a little serious for a Friday afternoon but I thought this article on the law of unintended consequences was an excellent essay covering many of my concerns.
Bonkers breakdancing
Once upon a time, to be a good break dancer all you needed to do was wiggle your arms a bit and spin on your head. Now it seems like you need to defy the laws of gravity! Link directly to .wmv

I’ll have one of those please. NSFW.
The girl from Ipanema
Probably the strangest music you’ve heard since the sad demise of John Peel – some bloke dressed like a Slipknot member plays The Girl From Ipanema
Highly Immature but Amusing names
You have to pity this unfortunate Headteacher – he must get a lot of sniggering from his pupils with a name like that.
Fry set for role in Hitchhiker’s
Oh yessss!! yes yes yes yes yes! Two of my favouritist things in the whole world are coming together! The fantabulous, cosmically articulate Mr. Stephen Fry is to play the role of ‘The Guide’ in the film adaptation of The Hitch Hikers guide. Mr. Fry said, of being offered the role, “[it] is like having your birthday on Christmas Day, discovering a winning lottery ticket in your stocking and having chocolate poured all over you”Scrummy!
Steve, Don’t Eat It!
My dad used ot have a friend who owned a pet food factory. It was situated right next door to a human food factory and basically just took the spam-type products that didn’t pass Quality Control and slapped a pet foor label on it. His party trick was to open a tin in front of a room full of people and eat the pet food from the can. It was gross. Not, however, as gross as the runninf feature called ‘Steve, Don’t Eat It’ on this site.
The urinals of The Felix
Gentlemen, fancy getting vertigo whilst urinating?
Unnecessarily Exhaustively Informative Websites
It has been a while since we had one of these; they do seem to be very difficult to come across – particularly ones as mind-numbingly tedious as licorice.org… unless of course you are a licorice aficionado in which case you probably know all about it already. Whilst you’re there, do check out the very informative ‘licorice finder’… supurb! ta martyn
The Hasselhoffian Recursion
We’ve posted recursive images before but this Hasslehoffian Recursion is unbeatable…and very, very disturbing.
V4g1na Potatoe [sic]
It is amazing the sh1t that sells on e-bay. At time of posting this oaf’s potato has 16 bids and is about to sell for £7.51 + p&p;!
Help needed with Semen on Geforce 6 6800 Ultra!
The forum comedian on this site clearly needs help. He’s asking for help for a ‘friend’ who has managed to deflower his graphics card. Bizarre.
Your lunchtime game
Now this is a game I’d love to be good at… it would be very relaxing if it were easy! It’s just like flying a kite
Mouse Found on Mars!
Someone’s found a mouse on Mars! (sorry!)
How to drive a forklift (Like you’re in a splatter movie)
Big shout to Carl for this link. This is this most hilarious Health and Safety film ever. It’s German but it’s almost funnier not understanding what’s been said. By the end of the movie it’s starting to resemble the Texas Forklift Massacre. (file is 6Mb wmv file but worth every byte!) Not for the faint of heart or humourless.
Want a Picasso?
If you’ve ever fancied a Picasso of your own then why not buy this Authentic , Hand-Signed Picasso for only £205 (currently) from eBay. It’s probably not worth much more as Picasso used to give sketches like this away for payment for rent and meals in his later life. Still very cool though.
VW Suicide Bomber
I doubt this advert will ever get aired on tv due it’s obvious bad taste but hey, that’s what the internet’s here for.
Gates in teen spread shocker
Today’s hot blog topic seems to be these two images purportedly of Bill Gates posing for a teen magazine back in 1984/5.
The Saga of Bloodninja
Bloodninja pootles around the interweb looking for ladies who are rather keen to ‘cyber’… and then mocks them mercilessly. Here are a few transcripts. Of particularly interest, about a third of the way down, is a conversation with ‘sweet17′ – supurb (although I feel a bit sorry for Sweet17, but that’s what you get hanging around in chatrooms!)
The problem with Photoshop thumbnails (NSFW)
Ok, before I start, pretty much everything on the site I’m linking to has NSFW material in one form or another. Warnings done, this page highlights a little known issue with photoshop in quite an easy to grasp way. The issue is this, when you create an image in photoshop, it stores thumbnail info inside the image – a very handy feature. This info changes when you make major changes to an image but not if you only make minor changes. Unfortunately for Ms Schwartz (from techtv), some images that she uploaded to her website had somewhat more revealing thumbnails than the images she posted.
