Fluid Effect

Go to FluidEffect.com, select portfolio, click agree and look at the before/after portfolio. You'll see pictures of models as they were published. But if you click on "click to see BEFORE" at the bottom you'll see what the camera really saw. One of the best is where Paris Hilton's friend loses some "width".

The Ferrovie Autolinee Regionali Ticinesi is the urban and suburban bus network of Locarno, Switzerland. Not surprisingly, the FART vehicles are gas powered.

The Brief Safe

When you're staying in a hotel they refuse any responsibility for the valuables in your room -- you're on your own to try to protect them. The Brief Safe resembles a pair of underwear that no one would want to touch, but contains a secret compartment in which to hide your valuables.

Every once in a while I rediscover Jack Handey. This web site contains over four hundred quotations by him. My current favorites:
  • A man doesn't automatically get my respect. He has to get down in the dirt and beg for it.
  • I saw on this nature show how the male elk douses himself with urine to smell sweeter to the opposite sex. What a coincidence!

God's Coffee

Looking for a new type of fundraising? God's Coffee comes in ten blends including:
  • Genesis: A great way to begin your day
  • Prodigal Son: Coffee worth coming home to
  • Lazarus: To help you rise and shine
  • Solomon's: The richest coffee in the world
  • Samson's: Our strongest blend, and
  • Thomas' Decaf: So good you won't believe it's decaf

I would have called one "Holy Joe", but maybe no one would remember the reference.

A young cowboy walks into a seedy cafe. He sits at the counter and notices an old cowboy with his arms folded staring blankly at a full bowl of chili. After fifteen minutes of just sitting there staring at it, the young cowboy bravely asks the old cowpoke, "If you ain't gonna eat that, mind if I do?"
The older cowboy slowly turns his head toward the young wrangler and in his best cowboy manner says, "Nah, go ahead."
Eagerly, the young cowboy reaches over and slides the bowl over to his place and starts spooning it in with delight. He gets nearly down to the bottom and notices a dead mouse in the chili. The sight was shocking and he immediately pukes up the chili into the bowl.
The old cowboy quietly says, "Yep, that's as far as I got, too."

Birthday Info

If you go to this site and enter your birth date, it will tell you interesting information about the year of your birth, how old you are in dog years, days, seconds etc. It will even tell you how many BTU's the candles on your next birthday cake will give off.

Three religious truths:
1. Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.
2. Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian faith.
3. Vineyard members do not recognize each other in the liquor store or at Hooters.

Goatsilk Gallery Sign

In the Goatsilk Gallery in Montana there is a large LED sign hanging on the wall. Goto this site and type in a message or upload a jpg. Two web cams on the site will show what is currently displayed on the sign. What you upload will remain there until it is replaced by something else.

This is the worst band ever. Honestly. There was a contest.

HotLix

As if soap with razor blades wasn't edgy enough, how about a sucker with a scorpion in it? For $2.95 USD you can buy one from HotLix, or a box for $81 USD which will save you over $25! What a deal. Have some ready to give away next Halloween.

This would never happen in my office...

From a Valentine's card:

"Your kisses are better than chocolate
Well, better than cheap chocolate"

Jesus Pets

Say you have a dog or a cat. What happens when the rapture occurs? How will your pet survive, assuming it is not caught up with you in the clouds? JesusPets.com is a community of heathen pet lovers who will, for a fee, take care of your pets when you are taken.

There, now you're prepared.

Sketch Swap

At SketchSwap.com you create a doodle and then submit the drawing. After a few seconds, someone else's drawing appears is given to you in return.

I wish I had thought of this!

Coat Hangers

How interested are you in coathangers? Enough to make a web page? Well, someone thought they were interesting enough to create a web site that contains the origins, history and technology of coathangers.

Technology?

Apparently the Coronet E50 (shown here) won the International Coathanger Standards Authority "Special Achievement" prize in 1982. Put that on your resume and watch the job offers come in.

Elgoog

At this backwards Google you enter your search criteria backwards, and then it displays the results backwards in return. It's a bit hard to read at first, but I found my brain starting to adapt quickly.

Could you get mad at this fellow?

Mikey Guitar


MikeyGuitar.com has come up with an interesting gimmick for bass guitars -- when you pull a lever the frets rotate to a position where they're completely flush with the neck, which essentially gives you a fretless bass. You can play your fretless solo and then go back to a regular slapping. I don't much like the look of the lever that he uses but the concept is very cool.

I watched this video in stunned silence at first, but when he did the little toss of his head I lost it.
