| Saturday Aug 21, 2004 | Want to write a politically-charged Letter to the Editor, but finding the Kerry-Edwards style guide too difficult to follow? Join the Bush-Cheney camp, which provides a foolproof automated form where all you have to do is click on text and type an e-mail address. It's foolproof! Warning: your letter might seem eerily similar to those written by other people. to Politics by onigame |
| Tuesday Apr 8, 2003 | Tachi Laboratories works on some pretty cool projects, including transmittable tactile feelings, remotely-controlled teddy bear avatars, and projection setups that can give the illusion of being able to see through something. But don't get any wild ideas. to Gadgets by onigame |
| Sometimes it's just nice to dream of flying. Or for a more exciting time, try staring at some optical illusions. The fifth one is amazing! to Flash by onigame |

| Monday Jan 13, 2003 | If you offer $100 for personal information on a certain individual, don't be surprised if that individual attempts to claim the $100 himself. to Internet by onigame |
| Sunday Oct 6, 2002 | Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away has now been released in US theaters, to the tune of many rave reviews. Still, it could take a while before we see Americans dress up as the characters, draw spinoff comic books, or recreate the buildings with Lego blocks. to Movies by onigame |
| Sunday Aug 18, 2002 | If you don't understand who fhqwhgads is in Everybody to the Limit, perhaps this e-mail passed you by. to Flash by onigame |

| Thursday Jul 11, 2002 | It's probably a good thing that there's an objective site about the media coverage that furry fandom gets, as well of some of the drop-dead hilarious satire. I still don't understand what armpit-shaving has to do with it all, though. to Culture by onigame |
| Monday Jul 8, 2002 | Google running too slow for you because of all the traffic? Try the Google mirror. to Humor by onigame |
| Friday Jul 5, 2002 | Preschool Protocops looks almost too professional to be a flash animation. See if you can figure out which voices were done by Matt Chapman, of Homestar Runner fame. to Flash by onigame |
| Friday Jun 28, 2002 | Realdoll surgery: because sometimes you hurt the one you love.

| Sunday Apr 28, 2002 | You don't care about it now, but when your toilet backs up you'll flock to assimilate the information at Toiletology. While there, you can learn about new technology that helps you find your toilet in the dark. to Education by onigame |
| Sunday Apr 14, 2002 | Are you a pencil-puzzle solver who can't wait for the 2002 World Puzzle Qualifying Test? Whet your appetite with the one-week PQRST competition. Hopefully you won't need the entire week! to Entertainment by onigame |

| Monday Jan 28, 2002 | If you've ever experienced the horror of giving someone a monstrous URL like http://groups.google.com/groups?q=acquire+strategy+group:rec.
games.board+author:desjardins&hl=en&scoring=r&as_drrb=b&
as_mind=12&as_minm=5&as_miny=1998&as_maxd=27&as_maxm=1&

| Wednesday Jan 23, 2002 | Perhaps one of the reasons for pinball's recent resurgence is the licensing. First a popular movie, then the most popular sport in the USA, and now the most popular board game in the world. What's left? Why, the most popular magazine, of course. I sure hope to see that at a future competition. to Games by onigame |
| Saturday Jan 12, 2002 | Pringles sites -- Once you click, you can't stop thinking about this not-a-potato-chip. What I don't get is, how come other countries get more flavors of Pringles than we do? to Food by onigame |
| Thursday Jan 3, 2002 | Most board game geeks agree that The Settlers of Catan (or, as it's known in Germany, Die Siedler von Catan) is one of the best games ever, whether online, play-by-e-mail, or in-real-life. It fosters cooperation in the form of trading, and the only antagonistic element in the game is probably overused.

| Friday Dec 28, 2001 | Fingerpainting doesn't refer to people painting on their fingers; so why should bodypainting refer to people painting on their bodies? Wouldn't real "bodypainting" actually be more like this?

| Tuesday Dec 18, 2001 | Even though the most common language in the world is a tonal language, most artifical languages are atonal. Two notable exceptions being Vong and Gua\spi. to Linguistics by onigame |

| Monday Nov 19, 2001 | Not soon after the 9/11 tragedy, the "tourist guy" photo started appearing in our e-mailboxes. After the quick initial debunking of the urban legend, the man some call "Waldo" became a new subject of the traditional "all your base" phenomenon. Several people have laid claim to being the subject of the lastest Internet fad, but now the real person has been found ... or so they say. Well, it could be worse. to Rumor by onigame |
| Thursday Nov 15, 2001 | A prison inmate spent four years devising the code used to write this letter. It was broken in less than an hour. Obviously the poor guy was ignorant of the past work found in the existing literature. to News by onigame |
| Wednesday Nov 7, 2001 | OddTodd's story about what it's like to be jobless in the post-dot-com world. (The site will only be there as long as he can afford hosting.) to Shockwave by onigame |

| Tuesday Oct 16, 2001 | How do you know if you're a loser? Well, real losers waste time on the Internet reading about other losers. to Internet by onigame |
| Monday Sep 24, 2001 | So, do you remember the one about the clueless woman who spilled hot coffee into her lap and sued McDonald's for $2.7 million? Perhaps you should read the facts at The Other Side of the Story. to Law by onigame |
| Tuesday Sep 18, 2001 | While the practical creative kids were graduating from Duplos, Lincoln Logs, and Brio sets to Legos and Erector sets; those of us with tastes towards abstract geometry were getting tired of Tinkertoys and were discovering the more mathematical toys such as Tensegritoy, K'Nex, Zome, Hoberman Toys, Roger's Connection, and Polydron. And now a newcomer with a radical idea -- Atollo, which can build complex geometric shapes from just two simple pieces. to Toys by onigame |

The Independent Game Festival's list of winners is a good start. to Games by onigame |
| Wednesday Aug 29, 2001 | Who Wants To Be a Cheapass? is a small trivia quiz about something you already know about. (Or something you should know about.) I got up to the $125,000 level myself. to Games by onigame |
| Tuesday Aug 28, 2001 | Sure, once they say Yobaseayo, Weiwei, or Moshimoshi, you can tell. But before that, don't they all look the same? to Culture by onigame |
| Forget Miss Manners, Heloise, and the demoded duo -- Ask the Police Expert is a (now-defunct) advice column with advice that you can actually use. Or if you have a more specific question about criminal law, there are tons of experts just waiting for your questions. to Law by onigame |
| Wednesday Aug 22, 2001 | Schlock Mercenary is probably one of the few science-fiction comic strips out there that actually tries to be scientifically consistent. Not that you'll notice; you'll be too busy laughing at the humor.

| Friday Aug 3, 2001 | Most men know that no matter how hard we work on gender inequality, there are certain things that women won't be using ... or will they? Although there have been some special designs that get at the problem, all you ladies really need is a special tool... and if you feel squeamish about reuse, a disposable version is also available, as well as a more realistic version. Or forget the tools entirely.
