| Legos are cool, but easily disabled by
marauding post-Y2K fanatics. Build an army
of dangerous servo robots with stuff from
Parallax
and plenty of KevlarŪ

| You've just heard about a horrible disaster.
Ten people killed. It's sad, sure, but just
how was it? Well, check out the
Killing Spree Scoring System and rate it
against previous massacres.

| Data mining in action. Find out how much the world values you when you
construct your own
public opinion poll. to Memetics by peterb |

| Strunk's Elements of Style are always fashionable. to Reference by petey |
| Ambrose Bierce was an optimist. Godling's Glossary covers everything from avoiding existence-centrism to something almost, but entirely, unlike Gilbert and Sullivan. to Commentary by petey |

PursuitWatch. Just 99 cents a year
will get you pager alerts every time a TV station broadcasts a
high-speed chase. Unfortunately, and predictably, it's available in Los
Angeles only.

| If you're attacking that heavily-armed nest of Cisco engineers, you'd
better know what the
best combat
shotgun for the job is.

| Like the ordinary guy on the street, I am incapable of ripping a phone book in half. I actually know a professional clown, but he's also incapable of tearing those damn phone books in half. Thankfully, next time I have need of such a useful skill, I can just call up Buffo, the World's Strongest Clown for all my phone book-ripping, unicycling, FULL time entertainment needs. And remember, kids, SAY NOPE TO DOPE because BUFFO SALUTES AMERICA! to Humor by nyarl |
| UPDATE: Thanks to a loyal reader, that funky banner ad to Kalashnikov has been roughly translated as "Everyone trusts Kalashnikov. From Spetsnaz to Cisco Systems." Now, the Spetsnaz are Soviet special forces, but we are still left with one important nagging question: Why on earth is Cisco Systems stockpiling and endorsing AK-47s? to Warfare by nyarl |

| Saturday Jan 23, 1999 | I was always dissapointed as a kid that my favorite Japanese movie monster
Gamera never fought Godzilla. But now, there's
strange fan fictionto
come to my rescue. Remember, "Godzilla vs. Gamera" is a trademark of Matt Lutes. I'm
sure neither Daiei Corp., Toho Corp., or Sony have a problem with that. to Movies by peterb |
| Friday Jan 22, 1999 | Seti@Home is a project that lets internet
users use spare cycles to help look for meaningful signs of alien
life amongst SETI data, much like the distributed
efforts to find crypto keys.

| Kalashnikov Arms, makers of the most widespread firearms in the world. But what the heck did this banner ad pointing to them have to do with Cisco Systems? Any translators out there? And what the hell kind of uniforms are those guys wearing, anyway? to Warfare by nyarl |
