$95,000 Adventure
|
We've all received non-negotiable checks in the mail as advertisements
for contests. But how many of us have actually tried cashing one? Well,
Patrick Combs has. He chronicled the entire story on his site. This is
excellent reading, so we won't tell you how the matter ended up.

Now you, too, can get semi-useless free stuff! The link content on this site

horoscopes.

101 Uses for Duct Tape
|
Wouldn't Red Green be proud?
Despite the title, there are actually over 250 listed ways to use
America's most useful substance. We still have to wonder about anyone
that would use duct tape to bandage a wound.

MapBlast!
|
Need a little direction in life? Or maybe just for a road trip? MapBlast!
produces excellent maps, as well as driving directions. You should always
try to verify these as best you can, but they're still better than
MapQuest,

Nader for President
|
Bored with the presidential race? Sick of Mr. Stiffy Gore and General
Drug-Addict Bush? In our search for a better candidate, we found Ralph
Nader, who's all for restoring democracy in this country. Corporations
have seized control of government at almost every level. It's about
time for a change. Nader is running on the Green Party ticket this fall.
For those not big on the whole voting thing, this may be your chance to
cast your ballot for someone that isn't the lesser of two evils!

Furniture Porn
|
Going above and beyond the call of our duty to originality, we proudly
link you to Furniture Porn. This is not a site to send the kiddies
to, unless you want them looking at completely naked chairs engaged
in all sorts of erotic positions. I'm surprised the Religious Right
hasn't shut this place down yet. We hope you can control your passionate
side.

rotten dot com
|
A fair warning: if you can't handle blood and sick jokes, you can't handle
this site. The motto couldn't ring any truer: "An archive of disturbing
illustration." If you're like the rest of the curious world, you'll take a peek
at the most original site we've encountered to date. Autopsy, hit-by-train,
and severed limb pictures abound. The humor is also quite ripe, so we
couldn't ask for anything more. Go on, if you dare...
