It looks like Bart Simpson's taken a break from crank calling Moe and has decided to hassle amazon.com instead. Let's hope Mr. "Dova" doesn't mind.

900 year old Sailor Chibi Moon (not to be confused with Sailor ChibiChibi Moon) is equipped with both a Moon Rod and Pink Sugar Heart Attack. Sadly, neither of these sophisticated weapons can protect her from open flame, electric saws or rockets.

When Flash animators became too lazy to make their own good music, the internet band was born. Take K-rad for example, who has done just about every song featured on Presstube.com. A little less popular perhaps, is E*Rock from Audio Dregs, who you might recognize from the trippy Mumbleboy animations.

When Amazon.com started allowing users to review books, it opened the door to a new type of performance art/humor/corporate sabotage: fake reviews. Following the trail blazed with The Story About Ping and numerous Family Circus books, the best practitioner of this new art form is probably Henry Raddick, who has written hundreds of bizarre, subversive, and hilarious book reviews. Make sure, also, to check out his suggestions for gifts for new in-laws and the list of bands whose keyboards players slept with his ex-girlfriend.

Richard D. James (a.k.a. afx, aphex, aphex twin) doesn't just make frenetic music and videos. He also sneaks images into the spectrograms of his tracks. If you're knowledgeable about fourier series transformations it's probably straightforward, though it certainly makes backmasking seem childish by comparison. Think it's a hoax? Download a spectrogram tool and take a look at the title track (#2) on Windowlicker.

I am in consumer heaven! Now I get to relive all my 80's childhood memories through old advertisements. Heck, I can even check out the stuff they were trying to sell my Mom back in the 50's! Oh, they included ads for my Dad too!

Remember Hypercolor clothing? Just like Mood Rings, it changed colors based on your body temperature. Well, only the hot spots of your body: your armpits and crotch. It always seemed like a half-baked idea, yet people still insist on doing stupid things to their clothes.

Matthew Herbert, Herbert, Radio Boy, Doctor Rockit, Wishmountain, The Music Man, whatever you may call him, he's a electronic musician with a very clear vision. And a new album, under his Radio Boy moniker, available for download on the net, with a loud political message and Henry Kissinger, a Big Mac meal and cans of brake fluid as sound sources.

Even for the "neurologically typical" meeting women can be difficult, let alone asking them out on a date. Now imagine the difficulties if you're autistic, to boot. Fortunately, the fine people at autistics.org have put together a detailed, step-by-step guide to asking a woman out on a date.

Objective Christian Ministries doesn't like Apple Computers because it promotes Darwinism (among other anti-Christian reasons.) Objective Ministries also doesn't want Landover Baptist to stay open, and has started a fervent campaign on its front page. In fact, clicking on a banner ad from Objective Ministries reveals that they want you to boycott just about everything.

Books about pirates abound; some are strange, some are funny, and some are wildly inaccurate. good pirate humor is a little harder to find, though.
