| The
Annoying Music Show! is a wonderful little
radio program conceived and hosted by
Jim Nayder, and aims to offer only the worst
possible listening experience. For that
experience, check your local listings or

| Has our government gone too far? Judge for yourself once you read the details of The Standoff at The North Pole Compound. to Humor by keith |

Spectacular Millennium Cross!" Because portable
glowing crucifixes never go out of style. to Commerce by tregoweth |

| Saturday Dec 11, 1999 | Wait, you want news, analysis, and opinion, but you want it at more than a fourth grade level? How odd. Try The Economist. to Media by keith |
| Hosting a bash, but all you have on your tired walls is a bad print of The Scream and that same damn Escher?

| What to play your records without having to drag a needle across them and slowly wear them down? Well, it ain't cheap, but ELP offers an audiophile's wet dream, a laser record player. When I say "ain't cheap," what I mean is that the base model costs $13,500. But for that price, you get to listen to completely virgin vinyl forever. Mmmm. to Gadgets by keith |
| Thursday Dec 9, 1999 | Unsurpassed Biblical scholarship
and serious inquiry into the mind of God characterize "Have

God's protection and love.

| Wednesday Dec 8, 1999 | Kyle Baker, one of the most brilliant
comic-book authors/writers alive, may be best known for
Why I Hate Saturn, a
graphic novel laced with some of the most a savagely funny writing in print -
Why do vegetarians spend so much time trying to make vegetables taste like meat? Do
monks buy a lot of inflatable sex dolls?

| This story (and "story" is probably stretching it quite a bit) appears to have been written by a true hebephrenic: it gives "short attention span" a whole new meaninglessness. to Wackos by monde |
| With San Francisco's confusing microclimates, it's nearly impossible to figure out the weather across town, let alone the next day. This page of Bay Area cams is even more reliable then sticking your head out the window. to Web by rsf |
| You can never have too much sex with dwarves. to Sex by peterb |
| Bruce Schneier (famed cryptography expert) and Karen Cooper (famed but I don't know for what) write a paper on... Minneapolis restaurants. You think I'm nuts? They've got detailed research into airline food, surveys into what the four food groups really are, and speculation on where M&Ms fit into the Food Pyramid. Plus reviews of restaurants. Many of which are in Minneapolis; many of which they've even eaten at. Cameo by Neal Stephenson, explaining mathematical analysis of Vietnamese menus. (PDF file) to Food by belford |

| Ship of Fools is a Christian magazine that's well-written, funny, and not the least bit afraid to engage in self-satire. From a fruitcake list to debunking religious myths.
It's also worth checking out for the Gadgets for God, which features such wonders as
vaginal moisturizing cream to a gigantic floating messiah. to Religion by nyarl |
| Is it just me, or does the Data Fellows F-Secure logo look way too much like Dr.Evil's logo? "I will eradicate your virus for one million--I mean HUNDRED BILLION--dollars"

| Okay, let's say that you want to donate on-line to Toys For Tots but, for some wacky reason, you don't want to support toy retailers who use guerilla legal tactics. Well, you can do it through Totally Fun Toys and still not have to pay shipping or tax. Plus they'll donate $150 worth of toys for every $1000 that people buy. Also, you could just donate money to them on-line and even earn frequent flier miles in the process. to Commerce by keith |
| Sunday Dec 5, 1999 | Bitter? Might we recommend greeting cards for when you care enough to send the very worst. to Humor by faisal |
| I remember when the state of the art in computer game
soundtracks was an AM radio next to the box. Nowadays kick-ass game
tunes are a dime a baker's dozen, and The Best Game Music in
the World probably has a copy of your favorite ones.
