Step 24 is a bitch ( Geek Humor part 1 )
maps.google.com/maps
Rather than give you an inhumanely long URL, I'll just give you steps to recreate this hidden Google gem. Enter the URL above. Click on the Directions tab. The Start Address is 'New York, NY'. The End address is 'Paris, France'. Click the Get Directions button. Voila! Driving directions from NY to Paris. So now who cares if the Concorde isn't flying anymore? You can drive there in 29 days, 7 hours. Of course, the whole 'swim across the Atlantic' business in step 24 could be a little problematic...and then you have to deal with the whole hassle of renting a car in France. I'm just glad the Internets weren't dishing out this sort of info when I was a kid. Family drives to Disney were hellish enough.
We has tribbles and also troubles ( Geek humor part 2 )
granades.com/2007/05/02/loltrek/
Though you probably wish you didn't, you know what LOLCats are. They are those oh-so-cute pictures of cats with pidgin comments pasted on them. As I would buy a turd if it happened to have a cute kitty picture attached, I love them. ( For examples, check out www.icanhascheezburger.com . ) This is a pretty brilliant parody of the LOLCats pictures. It is the classic Trek episode of 'The Touble with Tribbles' told in the style of LOLCats: pidgin, oversize san serif font captions with black outlines. My reaction when I saw it was:
OMG! THIS BE FUNNY!
Stiff art
www.cynthiapcaster.org
Chicagoan Cynthia Plaster Caster's claim to fame is art plaster casts of rock musician's penises. Now you can see a mini-gallery of her work online. If you're so inclined, you can even buy casts of a number of famous musicians. In fact, if any of you are looking for a way to show affection for a poor columnist that slaves to bring a small mote of joy into your lives each week, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better way than to purchase me, I mean 'him or her,' the Jimi Hendix cast—although the Zal Yanovsky cast is close. I'm generally not a big fan of cock art, but, I have to admit, I love Cynthia's.
A dating site where 'horse hung' isn't a lie
www.stallions4mares.co.uk
Horse hung stud seeks other for anonymous NSA encounters. You must really like to ridden hard. Bareback only.
Well, that's how I imagined the postings over at stallions4mares anyway. I was hoping it was a 'pony play' ( if you don't know what that is, wiki it ) dating site, or at least a place where pervs go to chat about their Equus fantasies. Sadly, it's actually a matchmaking service for horses. And, just like any dating service, the studs vastly outnumber the mares.
