Originally intended just as a good way to keep bookmarks online (in the days before del.icio.us) but has evolved into collections of things that intrigue me.....or are just plain daft.

Mostly the latter.

Real.com: BlackJack Page - for me RealPlayer has become one of the most arrogant, buggy, slow, irritating, useless bits of crap I have to run on my computer. In fact I discovered today that the newest versions of the software won't even play some of the older data files I've produced with it!!! So here's a link to the Realplayer software archive - the stuff they try their best to stop you finding.....screw Realplayer One. From now on I'm doing Quicktime and WMV. And if I have to use their software, I'm going back to G2

TanithLee.com - what a lovely lady (seduced my bear last weekend at a Sci-Fi convention) and a home page that loads like the clappers, very impressive.

Three men stand before Saint Peter awaiting admission into Heaven.

However, Saint Peter has been informed that Heaven will only admit 33% of applicants today. The admissions standard: Who died the worst death? So Saint Peter takes each of the three men aside in turn and asks them about how they died.

First man: "I'd been suspecting for a long time that my wife was cheating on me. I decided to come home early from work one afternoon and check to see if I could catch her in the act. When I got back to my apartment, I heard the water running. My wife was in the shower. I looked everywhere for the guy, but couldn't find anyone or any trace that he had been there. But the last place I looked was out on the balcony. I found the bastard hanging from the edge, trying to get back in! So I started jumping up and down on his hands, and he yelled, but he didn't fall. So I ran inside and got a hammer, and crushed his fingers with it until he fell twenty-five floors screaming in agony. But the fall didn't kill the jerk - he landed in these bushes! So I dragged the refrigerator from the kitchen (it weighed about a ton), pulled it to the balcony, and hurled it over the edge. It landed right on the guy and killed him. But then I felt so horrible about what I had done, I went back into the bedroom and shot myself."

Saint Peter nodded slowly as the man recounted the story. Then, telling the first man to wait, he took the second aside.

Second man: "I lived on the twenty-seventh floor of this apartment building. I had just purchased this book on morning exercises and was practicing them on my balcony, enjoying the sunshine, when I lost my balance and fell off the edge. Luckily, I only fell about two floors before grabbing another balcony and holding on for dear life. I was trying to pull myself up when this guy came running onto what must have been his balcony and started jumping up and down on my hands. I screamed in pain, but he seemed really irate. When he finally stopped, I tried to pull myself up again, but he comes out with this hammer and smashes my fingers to a pulp! I fell, and I thought I was dead, but I landed in these bushes. I couldn't believe my second stroke of luck, but it didn't last - the last thing I saw was this enormous refrigerator falling from the building down on top of me and crushing me."

St. Peter comforted the man, who seemed to have several broken bones. Then he told him to wait, and turned to the third man.

Third man: "Picture this. You're hiding, naked, in a refrigerator..."

"You say you're petitioning for a legal name change?" the judge asked.

"Yes, your honor."

The judge looked at the petition. "I can, ummm, see why, ummm, Mr. Leon . . . Shitferbrains, is it?"

"Yes, your honor, that's correct."

"And what do you want to change your name to, Mr., ummm, Shitferbrains?"

"Jim, your honor."

Entropy House Productions Presents - Lord of the Peeps - and I thought the Lego was bad. These people are gradually working their way through LotR, re-enacting it using candy animals (and some witty captions). 'Nuff said.

Home Despot - very good parody (although it's only one page as of yet). Someone has a neat turn of phrase and a sick sense of humour - always a winning combination.
