The Unfeasible Adventures of Bever and Steve - A webcomic worthy of our humble blog.

Random Archive of Quasi Neologisms, Gibberish and Nunædinh - This one is fairly un-self-explainitory. You'll just have to go and figure it out yourself...

Rinkworks - This site is fairly weird. But far weirder is thier Dialectizer Take a block of text and have it translated into one of eight different dialects.

Check out this little gem...

YouFail.Org About the meanest site you could link someone up to...

A few random things

No theme to this one.

43 Things
Most of us all want to do stuff that we never get around to. This site is a great way to make a list of 43 things and do them, then talk about it with other people who wanted to do those same things. The weird part about the site is the list of suggestions, which range from the warm and fuzzy (plant a garden) to the abjectively strange (get in touch with my inner cheese)

Trunk Monkey
Surprisingly our first site involving monkeys. Spiffy found this one, and I gave him ample opportunity to post it, but he didn't, so I am. This site showcases a clever little auto accessory involving, (wait for it) a monkey in your trunk. (and, says the site, "a steady source of ice cold high-quality import ale or lager") How does it help to have a monkey in your trunk? The site provides a full customer information section let it tell you.

SodaPlay
One of my favorite sites ever. You get to create a little geometric beasty, then play around with it in an accurate physics simulation. Make walkers, crawlers, swingers, slitherers or hoblers, then flip them onto their backs and see how they manage. It's amazing to see how lifelike these things move.

Mushroom Kingdom

Now, I've got a game in the early dev phase that basically laughs in the face of the classic role of the 1980's video game princess. I've got a quick-witted, self sufficient protagonist, but I can't figure a name for her. I decided to do some research. I didn't find what I needed, but what I did find was hilarious.

Serendipity: A page of random generators, home of the Random Princess Name Generator

The Joy of Sticking Together - Video Game Couples: An article looking at the lives of digital celebrity couples.

Princess swapping: One of those forum topics that couldn't be funnier if it were scripted.

Make Mario Up: One of those ridiculous dress-up java games you'll find scattered across the internet. (Quite fun actually, lots of stuff to choose from, and he even blinks)

Literary Confusion

I guess that since this blog was kinda my idea, I should actually post something on it.

The Alien Limerick Generator is one of my personal favorites. Inspired by (though I don't see how) the equally weird YakMUSH (now deceased) this little gadget randomly produces a beautifully composed string of infallibly rhyming gibberish. Just click the button again for a new poem. Y'know, I'm starting to wonder if Lewis Carroll had access to one of these.

Speaking of Lewis Carroll, (Who's work by the way I both hate to love and love to hate) here's a clever little gem of a website filled with all sorts of Alice in Wonderland Java toys.

While we're on the topic of messed up speaking I would be neligent to not include the official website for that bizarre web phenomenon, the "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US" craze. If you've been on the internet for any length of time, then this is old news for you. If you haven't, get ready to be wierded out. (It is a little known fact that due to a mix-up with a time portal and an old newsgroup printout, the "ALL YOUR BASE" phenomenon was actually the original inspiration for Yoda.)

Well, that's all for this issue. Until next time remember: "Send me 50 000 American dollars"

A few links

"Happy Slapping," a new craze in the UK involving teenage kids beating up random strangers and filming the attacks on their phones. Solution? Ban baseball caps and blame MTV

Click here for details

After years of filming, four arrests, and seven felony charges, Bumfights has well earned its reputation as the greatest ruckus video series ever produced. Seriously.

It's sad, isn't it?
