“Pope Loses Battle With Peace-Symbol Dove”
“Gowan, geddadaheah, ya symbols of peace ya!”
(AP photos, so check ’em out before they go away.)

“I Ate iPod Shuffle”
A poem. Contains much more humor than you’d think was inherent in the premise.

“Williamsburg Doesn’t Need a Space Elevator”
Sez you!

Goldfish Racetrack
Yes, it’s a racetrack for goldfish. Place yer bets!

The Ad Graveyard
Advertisements that never got made. The first dozen or so are really funny, then it drops off.

pshift — The Unix paradigm shift utility
“Normally pshift operates silently; in verbose mode it publishes a 500+ page bestseller entitled ‘Rethinking [input stream] in the [zeitgeist] Age’, and then begins soliciting honoraria until the operator types ctrl-c. On some systems it runs for Congress.”

Unusual Wikipedia articles
Did you know that the Wikipedia has entries on an evil reptilian kitten-eater from another planet, or the anime concept of hammerspace, or on a boy named Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 (pronounced “Alvin”), or a timeline of unfulfilled Christian prophecy, or about the classical Chinese poem “Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den” which consists of the word “shi” repeated 92 times with varying tones, or Gene Ray’s Time Cube theory?

I hadn't realized Wikipedia had an article on the "evil reptilian kitten-eater from another planet," but it doesn't surprise me: a thorough encyclopedia should cover Canadian politics.

I love the Wikipedia article on unfulfilled Christian prophecies. Go to the last item for Pat Robertson's take on Liberia's "Christian" president, Charles Taylor. It's mind-boggling that such an influential personage could be so awesomely, mind-blowingly ignorant. Don't these guys ever, y'know, read about the things they talk about in public?
