Patron Saints Index
Huge list of things that there are Catholic patron saints for: everything from explosives workers to West Virginia.

Let's see... I'm going to need Saint Christopher (patron saint of bus drivers), Saint Valentine (patron saint of engaged couples), Saint Hedwig (patron saint of brides), Saint Gertrude of Nivelles (patron saint of cats), Saint Francis of Sales (patron saint of writers), and Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini (patron saint of emmigrants).

Hmm. Saint George, the dragon killer, is a patron saint of Canada. Maybe I shouldn't be moving there...

Man Dies From Disease Similar To Mad Cow
Now, that's just freakin' great. He lived practically just up the road from me.

Moo!

Poetry Mood Test
Take a short quiz, and get a poem that is supposed to suit your mood. I got a rather oddball poem, since I "wasn't in the mood to give striaght answers." Well, damn! That just pissed me off. But the poem made me feel better, so I guess it works after all.

soulXchange
Did ya ever want to sell your soul? Now you can, and buy other souls in the process.

This is an intriguing, stock market-like set-up. You buy a soul, and then (depending on various conditions), that soul's value goes up or down. If it goes up a lot, you can sell it and make some cash. If it goes down, you might want to dump it out of your portfolio before it plummets any farther. Actual news stories will have a bearing on the value of your souls; for example, a story about stupid drug dealers will lower the value of drug-using souls.

And hey - my soul is for sale, and it's currently climbing in value. Act quickly! (I'm a bit disgruntled that my fiancé's soul is worth more than mine...)

Lego Porn
Done in the style of a Playboy graphical story, this little photo-essay is about a repairman visiting a housewife. Very well done, if I do say so myself...

He also did a woman getting pulled over by the cops, a lego dungeon, and some miscellaneous lego porn images. Some people have too much time on their hands.

The Anti-Porn Guy
The man, the myth, the legend. Heh. If this guy was for real, he'd be really scary.

KittyCheck.Com
I've heard this thing advertised on Coast to Coast AM, but they never actually tell you what it is. All they say is that it will help diagnose problems with your cat before it becomes a serious problem.

I envisioned a Star Trek-style tricorder that you wave over your cat. Imagine my disappointment to discover that it was just something you spread over your cat's litter.

Bonus: check out the animated gif that explains how to use the product. That's quality art right there...

You got something to say??
These folks are going to launch a satellite which will return to earth in 50,000 years. They are inviting anyone who's interested to submit a message for future generations.

Of course, they're burning these messages onto CDs, and including "simple instructions" on how to build a CD player. Suuuuuure.

Oh deer!
A late Christmas entry: here's a guy who arranged his Christmas lawn ornaments into lewd positions... And the neighbors complained.

Now... Gee whiz. You'd think that these people have more things to worry about than what a bunch of plastic reindeer are doing in their spare time.

GlobeXplorer Inc.
This is another one of those satellite imagery sites where you can see the Russian's view of your house. Currently it's only good for certain areas; for example, major cities in Canada haven't been mapped in any detail.
