There's a big hullaballoo about this year's annual net goth convention, Convergence 7. Some people have expressed their lack of confidence in some of the people in charge. But if you're not interested in a rivalry between various factions of computer goths, then you can take Charlie the Slut's advice and avoid the whole creepy mess altogether.

There are a couple of obvious uses to which a penis can be put. When you are through with those, you could perhaps take up truck pulling, or puppetry, or modeling for housewares. You could also indulge in some home improvements, but watch out for thieves!.

Some of my favorite printed comics are from Slave Labor Graphics. I love Evan Dorkin's Milk & Cheese, dairy products gone bad (Play the board game), and Jhonen Vasquez's indescribable Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.

Who knew that hot dogs had their own National Council? And a controversial history or two or three? Fascinated? You could qualify for a job or two working with hot dogs. If so, you may need this. Or maybe you're more into preservation or cooking.

You can go bionic the hard way by having solid devices implanted or attached.. But why not do it the easy way, with artificial fluids such as tears, saliva, blood, semen, urine, perspiration, and mucous?

Inexplicably, U.S. Representative Gary Condit's office is hiring interns. In what is probably a sick joke, the page has a link to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, though it isn't clear if Mr. Condit supports the site's mission or is simply adding to the problem.

Robert Moog didn't really invent the synthesizer, but he made it usable. He also wasn't the only inventor in that family.

Dead pools aren't the only people who try to predict celebrity deaths. Newspaper syndicates prepare obituaries for celebrities who might kick off soon, so that your local rag can be ready with a loving tribute. Some of the lucky (future) stiffs include Marlon Brando, Julia Child, Walter Cronkite, Kirk Douglas, Billy Graham, Katharine Hepburn, Bob Hope, Lady Bird Johnson, Nelson Mandela, Rosa Parks, Pope John Paul II, Ronald Reagan, Ted Williams, and Boris Yeltsin.

Where kudzu grows. Higher ratios of homicides to suicides. States mentioned in country music lyrics. All of these are partial answers to The South: Where is it? What is it?, a landmark cultural geography essay by John Shelton Reed. Which raises a few issues: Where are people most likely to eat dirt (pica)? Where are Hooters restaurants? Where are NASCAR tracks? Why are so many Presidents from the south?

Academic and non-scholarly writing about lynching is well and good. But nothing brings home the brutality like photos and postcards.

The LifeExtension Foundation has listed the top-ten life extension drugs, most of which are easily affordable. I was pretty surprised to find nootropics on this list as they're mostly used to increase brain performance.

How could a TV pilot about the adventures of a super-intelligent renegade astronaut and his talking motorcycle NOT get picked up by a network? Only the monkeys at Fox can answer that, but to experience the genius of the award-winning never-aired Heat Vision and Jack pilot, try to stomach the 301 Mb MPEG (or smaller RealPlayer versions)download. After the strip-club finale, you'll be saying "All monkey trash shall dance on Paragon's lap" in no time.
