| Say you want to find out if a particular brand of rum is available at one of your Commonwealth's cookie-cutter wine and spirits outlets, but you're too drunk to get up from your computer. Check the on-line version of the catalog. And remember - drink responsibly. If you need a refresher after last night's bender, visit Pennsylvania's alcohol education mascot, L. C. Bee! Get it?

| Fthagn! Chaosium has all your old favourites, and some new ideas. For any further Lovecraftian needs, try the Cthulhu Superstore at Wizard's Attic. to Religion by stimpy |
| Surely a site called horny will have predictably pornographic content...right? Wrong! It's actually a newsmagazine for German high school students. Naturally, running it through a Babelfish translator results in some likely unintended laughs. to Web by monde |
| The Flashified sector of the site for the pop-hop band Supreme Beings of Leisure pushes the medium to its edge--and then sails right past it. If you want to see what websites will all look like in 5 years, check this out. Too bad that their music wasn't anywhere near as interesting as the web design. (But since this sort of thing is what I get off on listening to, of course I'd think that.) to Music by monde |

| Nineteenth century artist
Louis Wain was his era's
Jim Davis: a relentless drawer and
painter of
cute cats.
But that was before his
schizophrenia
asserted itself and drove his cat-art in
bizarre and
horrifying directions.

| Where no haiku poet has gone before: SciFaiku, a five-year-old literary movement that "packs all the human insight, technology, and vision of the future into a few poignant lines." to Literature by rogers |

Ray Eames are among the most important American

| Wednesday Jan 26, 2000 | Taking the instructions you read on the side of a product's packaging very literally may give you a really close shave...or perhaps just get you in some really hot water. to Humor by monde |
| The neverending geek debate: Victorinox's Swiss Army Knives, Leatherman's... erm... Leathermen, or Gerber's Deluxe Multiplier. Think I'll stick with a butter knife for now. to Gadgets by stimpy |
| For all of you out there interest in entomophagy, there is always the immortal eatbug.com.
The Iowa State University entomology department is also well know for it's tasty beetle dip, which can be found here.
I find it highly suspicious though that our friends at Orkin keep a recipe page...

| The public toilet has an interesting and varied history, and choosing a toilet is important, so consider getting an ultra low flush toilet. You might instead select an outhouse so get the right facts. Plumbing World has excellent articles on toilets and plumbing in general, particularly why Thomas Crapper did not invent the siphon toilet.

| Everybody knows Marlowe's Elizabethan Pick-Up Line, A Passionate Shepherd To His Love And Raleigh's acerbic The Nymph's Reply To The Shepherd. What's not as well known is that John Donne also wrote a reply, about another masculine pasttime.

| So I was reading some Usagi Yojimbo, and came across takoyaki, the ubiquitous octopus ball snack! To make them, you'll need a pan like this or like the danish cake pan on this page. They must be great... there are cartoons about them, they've been an inspiration to entrepreneurs, the subject of movies, you can buy models of takoyaki carts, they're used as a rating system, even the Canadian Consulate General talks about them! So let's all grab some and have fun! to Food by stimpy |

| Monday Jan 24, 2000 | Though it first seemed to be a lame gift, I have to admit that the George Foreman Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine is actually damn useful and I can make an awesome steak or burger quickly. But for pure entertainment value, even it can't compare to George Foreman's website. Turn up the speakers and listen to the champ's piano music and maybe a sermon on the Doctrine of Love while you order the strange Buddha-like sculpture that might be a rocking chair where you sit in George Foreman's lap but I can't really tell. to Food by nyarl |
