It's been a while since I posted one of these lists, but this time someone else did all the work of finding the sites for me. Actually, it was several someones at the JREF Forums. There are a couple repeats from the past here, but they really qualify as "classic" and not just "old."
Immortality Devices by Alex Chiu
www.angels-light.org - Talks with instructions from my Cosmic Friends
TED Jesus Christ GOD-TRUE SECOND COMING of JESUS CHRIST and THE CREATOR and GOD to WORLD Earth!
Demolition, the truth of 9-11 and the WTC
THE EDGE RADIO BROADCAST with DANIEL OTT
Cosmic Internet Academy - C.I.A.
THE MARKS OF GOD, JESUS, AND CHRIST, AND ALSO THE MARK OF THE BEAST.
There's more to it than a bunch of boring "begats" and "Thou shall not have fun."
Don't ask me what it says, just look at the videos.
More pictures of cats (most with captions) than any sane person would want to look at. (All on one convenient -- if you're not still on dial-up -- page.)
First up we have Lucha Loco a look into the wondeful world of Luchadores. If you don't know what this is, you're really missing out.
Then we have Weta Originals - Rayguns. Part of me really wants one of these, but then I see they don't have prices listed -- which tels me it's a case of, "If you have to ask, you can't afford it."
I watched Battlebots on Comedy Central and Robot Wars on BBC/America, but I don't think I'm ready for the Spice Channel incarnation.
sexed robots movie (NSFW?)
I bet you could actually get students to try to read these books if they had these covers. (Of course, that's making the very big assumption that today's students can read.)
I'm not going to find out the origins or reasoning behind these. That would just spoil some of the fun.
Don't lie to me. There's no way Garfield is secretly cool and angsty. (Even if "cool and angsty" wasn't the worst case of oxymoron, ever.)
Jackson Pollock by Miltos Manetas
For those times you just feel like splattering colors all over your browser window.
Or maybe, "Новости." Whatever, it's neat. Either way, it's a pretty cool way to spend too much time on your hands.

... bring on the "Underwear perverts!"
For all the people who keep coming to this site because of the Garfield strip I present a pair of links to some wonderfully "improved" strips. (Again, if the real Garfield was this good, I'd read it.)
lakini_malich: Jon seems crazy to be talking to his cat like that.
Sometimes I think I spend too much time surfing the internet. Then I find a site like this and realize there are much worse ways I could spend my time. (Or maybe, bettter. I'll let you be the judge.)
This is one of the worst websites that I've ever seen. It's as ugly and stupid as any I've seen, without the zen-like WTF qualities of something like Time Cube. I'm just at a loss to describe how bad it is.
"Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" Valentines--Brandon Bird
I think I linked to other works by Brandon Bird in the past. At the time I thought he was just goofy, but now I think he may have a certain brilliance.
If I ever watched MTV or gave a crap about Kevin Federline, this would be hilarious. Despite the fact that neither hold any interest for me whatsoever, it still manages to be slightly amusing.
List of weapons that don't exist, but should - Uncyclopedia
If we outlaw Guns that shoot swords that shoot cows that shoot grenades that shoot knives that shoot televisions that shoots fridges that shoot bullets that shoot infinite regression toasters, only criminals will have guns that shoot swords that shoot cows that shoot grenades that shoot knives that shoot televisions that shoots fridges that shoot bullets that shoot infinite regression toasters.
Anyone who puts this much effort into a rant (and buys that domain name) deserves a bit of free advertising, in my book.
Here's a quick link I got un my email this morning.
This may be a repost. I'm pretty sure I've seen it before but don't remember posting it. These sound just like the sort of thing to wash down a salted prune with. (Seriously, don't ask.)
Silly putty is neat stuff.
The article on Boing Boing where I found this had a lot of scientific mumbo jumbo about "glass transition temperatures" and "viscoelastic properties of polymers," but the important thing is silly putty stretches and deforms quite easily at low speed and constant pressure, but if you try to hit it fast or stretch it suddenly it gets quite brittle.
So what happens if you get a really big ball of silly putty (say about 50 pounds) and drop it from the top of a parking garage?
Let's find out: Sunbelt Software Silly Putty Task Force
If you're going to pay too much for a USB drive, make sure it's as stupid looking as possible.
First up in our "not worth the effort" category is the Knitted Digestive System. Leaving aside for a moment the time and effort to make such a thing, what would you ever do with it?
In a superficially more practical vein is the LEGO web-enabled automatic dice roller. Even given that it's supposedly capable of rolling over 80,000 dice in a day, who needs that? And why not just grab a handful of dice and drop them?
PS: I'll add this one, so I don't have to do it myself. UGLY CHRISTMAS LIGHTS.COM
But for some reason I really admire people who do this sort of thing.
The Ministry of Unknown Science - Kung Fu F U (Bandwidth warning - video file)
Indeed.
Be sure to check out the video of how these are made.
Another link for Mythbusters fans: Kari Byron.
An article I read the other day: Rocket racing league gets its start
Which sounds kinda neat.
...however, it seems ripe for disaster, and I hope that wouldn't become one of the main attactions of this sport.
I found this on two different sites within a few minutes of each other today. I figure I might as well post a link in the few minutes it's still up. It's actually pretty good. So in the spirit of "no good deed ever goes unpunished," let's see if we can't drive his hosting bill for bandwidth through the roof.
I drink coffee black... no sugar. But when I see something like this...
... I'm really happy about that.
NSFW (or anywhere else)
I'm not including this in a Random Site Update, because it's just a little too tacky and stupid. But I will provide a link for those among you who want to see just how sad and depraved your fellow man can be.
(Really... seriously consider heeding the warnings.)
In honor of the anniversary of the first manned Moon landing, Google Maps has provided sattelite mapping of the Apollo landing sites. It's amazing the amount of detail you see at the highest magnification.
It doesn't get cooler than this. Or does it?
