I'm a Cow
Genius. Pure genius. Catchy tune, too.

No Women on Mars Trip
"Women are likely to be barred from any Russian mission to Mars because they would increase the "probability of conflicts" among the crew, says a Russian space official."

Oh, right. Like I believe that. The Russians are never getting to Mars. Who are they kidding?

But seriously, this is just wrong. I think a little estrogen to temper the high testosterone levels would do them good.

Scare the crap out of your family and friends!

Interactive Healthy Eating Index
This is a neat online program that lets you enter all the food you ate during a day. (Their database is fairly complete - they even had Country Time lemonade listed.) Then it tells you how you did, nutrition-wise. I did this for a few days until I got tired of always seeing frowny faces.

Yes, we REALLY landed on the Moon!
Those people who claim that the Moon landing was an elaborate hoax totally crack me up. Never mind that keeping such a huge secret a secret for 40 years would be next to impossible, there are some huge holes in the "proof" that the hoax-mongers wave around. This page shoots holes in a lot of the evidence these people bring forward.

Lost in Translation
An automated way to play the "Think of a Phrase and Feed it Through Babelfish several times and see what comes out.

The Web's Actual Size becomes "The format of the scale of the Web."

"How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" becomes "How much wood, in a position to play of marmot of America he, if marmot of America that a wood could play?"

Try it yourself!

The Perilous Times
Lunatic religous rantings par excellance.

I feel sorry for real, honest Christians, who have to put up with being lumped together with stereotypical, Bible-thumping freaks like these people.

Lions face new threat: they're rich, American and they've got guns

AOLiza
This page seems to have gone static, but it's worth a look. After building a simple AI program based on the Eliza program from the mid 1960s, this fellow hooked it up to an AIM account and let it field "wrong numbers" from people. Entry #58 is my favorite.
