| Friday Aug 25, 2000 | Do you prefer Gibson over Tolkien? Zaibatsus over wood elves? Never quite understood the EverQuest addicts? This may be the game for you: Anarchy Online, a SciFi-based Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game enters Phase 2 beta this week. Will you be a part of the Omni-Tek corporation, or fight for freedom with one of the rebel clans? Would-be players are already forming up guilds and distributing propaganda. to Games by erynn |
| Unless you are really into furniture, the Ikea 2001 catalog isn't nearly as exciting as the latest Victoria's Secret catalog. However, there are many other sources to fulfill your erotic furniture needs, even for those on a budget. to Sex by rich |

| For a mere $78 million you too can own your own 200 foot luxury submarine. Where might you go with that you say? Besides the obvious great barrier reef, you could spend a few nights at an underwater hotel. The Jules underwater lodge offers rooms for $250-$350 a night and is located just off of Key West. Remember, check out is at 11 am.

| It's not the woefully generic content of this Mr. T. Versus Everything page that disturbs me, it's more that she went out and found them. Then again, given that this site is the apotheosis of T-ness, I guess a little obsession is understandable. to Web by mpc |
| For your daily dose of interactive eyecandy, I recommend the fine site Hel13, a Finnish webzine that aspires to "Rebuild the Soviet Union on the Internet". Read the interview with T-26 or send your friends stylish ecards. Don't miss their applet to rebuild the Soviet Union, where you can apparently win something right now as well. Perhaps you want some suitable music while browsing through Hel13? Click here. to Web by wheezer |
| Thursday Aug 24, 2000 | The Bird is a rather impressive and fun Shockwave app. You can also play for the other team.
These are based on a very unique animation (by some talented people) that unfortunately turns out to be a Compaq advert from the UK. to Web by fuzzeli |

| Enjoy the great gallery of toy robots from the fine people at the Museum of Ephemeral Cultural Artifacts. I can't decide which robot is weirder: the strangely effeminate Sparky or Electric Robot and Son. That's right -- a robot with a diaper wearing son.

| The Bla-Bla network helps its partners earn money by selling advertising for sites within the bla-bla network.
They even have a catch phrase to reflect their corporate culture - "we turn basement warriors into capitalist pigs". And indeed they have - Jay Stile, of Stileproject fame is demanding
a salary over $600,000 USD from Bla-Bla over his site's advertising revenue. When Bla-Bla refused, Stile went
public with the company's woes to various media sources. This is going to get ugly

| With this "back to school" thing going on, I couldn't help wondering
about pencils. And I found
lots and
lots
of
information
about
pencils.
Some teachers, trying to keep their kids modivated, even have their students
design
new pencils.
And remember, before you go back to
school
to prepare your
emergancy
locker kit.

| Flying Alien Rods are everywhere! But they can't be seen. Except in the occasional frame of high-speed photography. Incredibly intelligent diaphonous beings, Rods have avoided detection for millenia by cleverly disguising themselves as film emulsion scratches and bugs and teeth. to Science by jon |

| Wednesday Aug 23, 2000 | It appears that cybersex is the cocaine of internet addiction.
In some situtions, the craving can be so strong, that addicted users forget to eat, drink or even the urge to go to the bathroom. As a result, numerous dot.com clinics are opening up across the nation to deal with this new habit. May God help us all. to Sex by kade |
| A sobering image for those of you who fly often. It is, however, comforting to know that planes are designed to survive such an inevitability and that pilots train for them. to Science by gen |

This particular
history of coffee is careful to note
that coffee heiress Abigail Folger was one of the victims of the Manson family. I never knew that!
But there's plenty
more
where that came from.

| Arr!
Avast maties!
Piracy on the
high seas is
alive and
well
in the 21st century.
To protect yourself (or at least your cargo) you can
track your ship
to make recovery more likely, or perhaps invest in a more
dramatic
response to an
attack.

| Tuesday Aug 22, 2000 | Commercials for Ambien, a new sleeping pill, are on heavy rotation on late night TV, yet they suspiciously don't mention side-effects like intense hallucinations that many people, including myself, have had.

| Fairtunes, at least in theory, should be a more viable solution for supporting our favorite digital addiction than Save Napster. Considering that the company, founded by two students, has only been in existance since May of this year, the results are at least somewhat encouraging.

| My favorite Italian soap opera is currently un posto al sole, which can always be relied upon to provide my daily quota of backstabbing, incest, and sex. Much more interesting than the somewhat anemic un medico in famiglia. P.S.: Could one of memepool's Italian readers please ask Ilaria D'Amico from la giostra del gol if she will run away with me to some tropical island? to Television by peterb |
