Church Loophole Allows Same Sex Marriages
Excellent! An old law abut publishing banns - or notifications - of upcoming nuptials is allowing same-sex couples to be legally married in Ontario.

By using the old method of publishing banns, the church is legally allowed to issue a marriage certificate, bypassing any objections that the government might have.

Swastika Cut Down in Forest
I'm impressed. In 1938, a Nazi sympathizer planted some larch trees in the midst of an evergreen forest. When view from the air - in the autumn - the trees form a swastika.

Nazi or not, that guy had some creativity!

SoloTrek Personal VTOL Exo-Skeleton
Ooh! Ooh! I want this for Christmas, too!

Ok, so I know that I'm only getting socks. I can dream, can't I?

Prisoner Gives Birth After Cell Sex
A woman and her boyfriend - both of whom were prisoners at the time - manage to have sex through the bars of a prison door.

I'm impressed. Great athleticism. =)

In Passing
A simple, really entertaining page, consisting only of snippets of conversation overheard in passing. Every quote is arranged into topics such as Funny, Tragic, Bizarre, and visitors can leave comments on each entry. Very well done.

Five-Year Old Unsolved Mystery
This is one story that really grabs my imagination: The skeleton of a very preganat woman and her fetus are found in a remote, practicaly inaccesible area. It's so remote, in fact, that the recovery team had to be flown in.

How did a nine-month pregnant woman get that far out into the middle of nowhere, and how was she killed? Totally weird.

Dave Sim Shows His True Colors
This is just sad... The rantings of a man who's been hurt, raving against the "female void." Misogeny at it's most articulate and irrational. Cerebus is still in print, by the way.

Graphical User Interface Gallery
I find this interesting for various reasons, seeing how GUIs evolved over time. Contains screenshots of lots of GUIs, from ancient (ie, early 80s) to modern.

Whoopsie!
This is what happens when there isn't much difference between the two presidential candidates...

Furious George (and the cross-country crime spree)
Excellent game. Lead George, the furious monkey, across the United States. Commit atrocity along the way and rack up big points! But watch out - states will begin issuing warrants for your arrest. If things get too hot you can escape to Canada or Mexico.

Very fun.

Implicit Association Test
I scored well on these (that is, I'm not biased one way or the other in anything), but still think of them as rather silly. They show you some words, and you have to hit the right button quickly. If you hit the wrong button, making the "wrong" association, you get points docked. (Or something.) See how you really feel about race, ageism, gender equality, and the US presidential race.

The Old Testament Text Adventure
"Welcome to the world. You, sir, are in luck, for the God of this universe has deigned you one of his chosen people. With you and your descendants he has made a covenant, an eternal promise that you will benefit from his benevolence as long as you obey the law and follow the path of the righteous. You have no boils. You have 10 children. You have 100 goats. You have pottage."

In three moves I lost all my children, most of my goats, and my pottage. (What's pottage?) Two moves later I got boils... And I was smitten by the Hand Of God three moves after that.

"On a completley unrelated note, God, as part of a bet with Satan, has killed all of your children to see how you will react. Remember, keep a stiff upper lip!"

Way cool.

Pokemon is the spawn of the devil!
Yeah, yeah, old news... But this guy has written a lengthy essay to explain why Pokemon is evil. He's even illustrated it with blurry, ominous-looking Pokemon cards.

Buttcandle, Inc.
...for all your buttcandling needs.

You know those candles you stick in your ear and light to draw out the earwax? Well, you stick these in your butt and light them to draw out the... um...

Anyway, be sure to read the FAQ. I did. (I'm still not sticking a candle in my ass, though.)

Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge
I just wnted to gloat for a moment, and mention that I know the guy who inspired the bad guy's name for this game. (Swampy's a great guy. Plays bagpipes.)

No, really. Honest truth.

Smartest Man on Earth Berates the Masses
Another one for the wacko files. He spends pages and pages insulting the reader's intelligence and education, and hardly stops long enough to explain exactly what a "time cube" is.

Some choice quotes:

• "Life is based upon a perfect math or your arm would be too short to wipe your butt."
  
• "Academic and religious teachings equate mental retardation - as a 2x4x4 Cube creation principle reduced to a 1/4 (corner). You are educated retarded, too stupid for Time Cube."
  
• "Time Cube exposes evil. Cubelessness is an Evil. Educators are teaching you Evil Cubelessness. Educators cannot allow Time Cube to be known."

The Knight and His Princess
Now, I know that these folks are in love and everything, but really... This is nauseating. Be sure to check out the poetry page.

How long will it take you to become a millionaire?
It's going to take me a long, long time. At the rate I'm going, it'll take me 247 years to become a millionaire.

It's a - um, a weblog...
It's a weblog by Pokemon, for... Um, for Pokemon, I suppose. The links are usually pretty interesting, but I wish I kenw what they were saying about the link.

Exhaust Fume Fetish
This is one of the more unique fetishes I've seen. This guy likes watching exhaust come out of car tailpipes, those great billowing clouds you see on a cold day. But he really gets excited when a woman walks through those plumes of exhaust.

He also has a Internet Explorer specific page.
