| Lots of scientists acknowledge the threat that global warming poses to life as we know it. But now some researchers are beginning to think about the big chill instead. Seems that 600 million years ago, the Earth got so cold it just froze over. The thing is, without this global deep freeze, you and I might not be here at all. to Science by therubal |
| Wednesday Mar 21, 2001 | As a child, not only did I use matches to start fires, but I also made them into
match rockets.
Sadly, all the wooden matches perished in the unfortunate "flaming toilet" incident, or I would have made wooden match rockets.

| There's an old story about The Newlywed Game, where Bob Eubanks asks a woman the strangest place she and her husband have made whoopie, and she replies, "That'd be the butt, Bob". According to everyone from TV Guide to the alt.folklore.urban FAQ, it's an urban legend. But this page has a 1977 clip from the game show that says otherwise. to Television by roo |
| Forget Bored.com. For the truly insipid web surfer, only the Toilet Museum website will do. Also to try: the Toaster Museum, the Water Gun Museum, and as an honest-to-God last resort, there’s always the Ramen Noodle Museum. to Internet by safronlwin |

| The
Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest
is about creating the worst possible opening sentence to a novel.
But most of the entries believe that "worst" means
"interminable".
Now,
Nanofiction
proves that
short
is beautiful.
Can we
combine
these concepts?
The
Lyttle Lytton Contest
challenges you to produce the ugly, the brutish, and the short
simultaneously:
the worst possible opening sentence of a novel in
25 words or less.

| Tuesday Mar 20, 2001 | You know what would rock my world? If, by let's say, "accident", the core team of MIR did a reentry of the new, shining, International Space Station. Mother Russia still remembers the whole "First one to get to the moon" thing. to Conspiracy by longinus |

| Every time I take the NYC subway I see ads for the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus that read, "No one ever said they wanted to run away and join a video game." But isn't that what Captain N: The Game Master was all about? to Television by lampbane |

| Saturday Mar 17, 2001 | Fringe groups and pseudo-famous political activists have a problem: it costs too much to advertise in the best magazines and newspapers. David Horowitz has found an ingenious way around this problem. He sent this ad to major college newspapers around the country. Some schools printed it, some rejected it, but gullible college students who don't know they're being used and opinion columnists wringing their hands over the supposed censorship have given Horowitz all the publicity he couldn't afford himself. to Politics by therubal |

| Few sites on the web can match the moral strength of The Hunger Site or The Rainforest Site. Nevertheless, there are some other poignant cries for help out there. Teens who hate their parents, mothers in search of diaper coupons, and women seeking donut cream recipes all vie for attention and your help on The Shameless Begging Board.
