| Wednesday Dec 30, 1998 | Danny Hillis is building a "millennium
clock" that will hopefully last about 10,000 years. The reasons
are vaguely New Age-y, but the
mechanics of the thing are kinda interesting. to Gadgets by tregoweth |
| In the grand tradition of
La Petomaine comes the talented Brit
Mr. Methane, the "world's only
performing flatulist." If you're lucky enough to be in the UK on the 31st,
make sure to watch Channel 4 at midnight, when he'll be farting the
coutdown to 1999. He'll then "perform" 'Auld Lang Syne'. What better way
to start the year?
(And, yes, his site has sound clips.) to Culture by riotnrrd |

about what is and is not admissible evidence.

| Wednesday Dec 23, 1998 | While the Hack Furbysite claims to be primarily about documenting the Furby IR in its entirety, you may be more interested in the various things you can do to make your Furby act funny with a remote control device. Of course,
you might want to think twice about buying your kid a Furby at all, after
you read about Furbies and sweatshops.

The U.S. Army spent over 300 thousand dollars, to figure out a way for
women to pee standing without wetting themselves. They concluded that it
was not possible without the aid of a "funnel." They are wrong. By
visiting this site *you* will learn something that the U.S. Army *still*
doesn't know. (and it won't cost you a *thing*!)
