No visit to Houston, Texas is complete without a stop at the National Museum of Funeral History, a showcase of our country's proud heritage of funeral service. Auto enthusiasts will appreciate the hearse collection. Anyone can appreciate the practical beauty of the solid glass casket (air-tight!). And don't forget the Gift Shop. Where else could you get a casket putter, or an Any Day Above Ground is a Good One Gift Bag?

A tear in the space-time continuum has allowed us to connect to websites in the distant future. We took some screenshots from January 1, 3900, sometime in 20100, January 1, 192000, January 1, 192000, another from January 1, 192000, and January 1, 202000.

While many of us consider author Po Bronson to be the sexiest writer alive, apparently there are plenty of malcontents who disagree.

Like many adults who once dismissed graphic novels as glorified comic books, I was drawn back into the medium through Alan Moore's grim and brilliant Watchmen. Memepool readers who liked Watchmen as much as I did should definitely check out Ralf Hildebrandt's Annotated Watchmen for a detailed panel-by-panel analysis of plot, cultural references and symbolism within the story.

If you live in the U.S. or are just interested in cartography and topography, KDem may prove quite interesting. It displays 3 dimensional elevantion models, essentially rendering terrain. The home page also has links to sources for data.

I guess we've all seen enough of the apocalyptic nutballs looking forward to a Hollywood-style Second Coming, but the Highlights from Prophetic School is a doozy. Have a look at their IRC sessions where the students are asked to come up with religious visions and then describe them to the others. One female writes of a vision of Jesus saying to her, "My bride, My bride, what a sweet aroma coming from My bride... Her desire for Me, her delight in Me..." Bible study is getting hot these days, and it's not just fire and brimstone!

"Power on, Internet fine, dogs healthy and beer still cold." Such is the best Australian Y2k update from J.R. Whipple's Zone 2000 report.

I like Java, because it is really easy to implement your own version of excellent old arcade games with it.

Instead of abducting people to UFO for medical examination, as other aliens do, these aliens collaborate with "Contact People" and perform the medical research in aliens/humans clinic on earth. My name is Adrian Dvir and I am one of the 'contact people'.

On long road trips, the need for a restroom can become overwhelming. Sometimes there's a clean one close by, and sometimes there isn't. Never fear! Uncle Booger's Bumper Dumper is here.

Get all assed-out and fashionable with well-known Korean designer nail-file conglomerate Assi!! Like the site says, "It's the new name that opens the fantastic world of Nail File. We contain women's hope and dream toward the real beauty in Nail File. Fantastic design, high quality, various models, we are always sweating for, are also motto and confidence of ASSI, a beauty creator." That's Korean for "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful!"

Remember when all a child wanted for Christmas was a car/truck/potato that turned into a robot?  Terry Pratchett does and was good enough to talk about it, as recorded in the archives of Ansible.

The Millennium is almost upon us, I'm terribly excited and so is the editor of the Carolina Girlwatcher.  Ever wanted to know the best places to ogle, sorry admire the female form?  Well, look no further, the pro knows all, provided you're in Carolina.  Now where did I leave my dirty raincoat?

Ever since I got my DVD player a month ago, I can't resist checking both DVD price search and Incredible DVD on a daily basis. Both sites are bevies of coupons, special deals, and discounts for online stores which have DVDs for sale. Especially great is DVD Price Search's ability to find which online seller has the cheapest price for the DVD you're interested in, though, frankly, I think Incredible DVD has a better selection of coupons.

If^H^Hwhen the Y2K bug doesn't end up screwing with your computer, you might find yourself feeling let down somehow, and find yourself craving some terribly invasive, frightening desktop nightmare. (To experience properly make sure all the switches for your Java-nators and DHTML-ifiers are pushed firmly to the "on" position.)

After all the Star Wars hype I was amazed there wasn't a resurrection of Hardware Wars. "You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll kiss three bucks goodbye."
