Hmmm can't find the random websites / favorite websites threads... archived??

Anyhow here's a really interesting one - a project to take a picture of every point in the latitude longitude line (or something to that effect) anyhow it's a fun site to browse. With tons of beautiful pictures all over the world.

The WayBack Machine - enter your favorite website address and click on 'Take Me Back' to see archived copies of that site over the years. Even TVCH is archived there - look how the Minnesota trips started out. :)

I've looked at them all and they are great (thanks for the links)...but my absolute fav has got to be Max's Despair.com. What a hoot!

this is from that site..to bless underachievement:

Max, I've been laughing my ass off over at despair.com. That is a big hoot!

A few of my favorites -

Cluelessness : “There are no stupid questions but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.”

Idiocy : "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups."

Glad y'all are enjoying that one as much as I did/do!! :)

It is sort of sad, though, that we all identify so much with what they are doing. Not a great indicator of the success -- on a human level -- that American business has achieved. (I only classify it as "American business" because that's what I have experience with.

I firmly believe, however, that laughter is the best medicine and that there are always possibilities*. :)

* Paraphrased from Captain Kirk in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan." Actual line, "I like to think there are always... possibilities." :)

www.yourdictionary.com -- an excellent resource!

www.memepool.com -- a terrific compilation of odd places on-line (be sure to search by subject to get a better idea of its organisation)

http://thereisno-spoon.blogspot.com/ -- amazing site all about the Matrix trilogy, from embedded philosophy to character symbolism

Thank you for all your fascinating sites. I love the internet! =)

Max, thank you sooo much for that hysterical site. The minute I started reading it, I knew I had my xmas gift for my depressing brother in law. We ordered him the 2004 calender. Hubby thinks he'll appreciate it.

Came here to post the snowglobe and I see I was beaten to it ;)
Just so you don't have to scroll back up:

http://ww12.e-tractions.com/snowglobe/globe.htm

I did Whit's site (confluence) a year or so ago - the only place I could have been the "1st" to was in lake Michigan - I am still thinking aobut doing it on my Dad's boat.

I have loved Despair's site - someone e-mailed me some of their original posters about 5 years ago and I actually have one printed out and posted on my office door.

Thanks all for putting these up - always a nice diversion :)

Someone just told me about www.Dangfun.com
They have funny Survivor summaries, I am surprised I hadn't heard of it, anyone else?

Love this site. Can't seem to make a link work so I'll just give the address. Maybe someone else could give it a try.

If you love TV (and I suspect most of you do!) this site has some very clever perspectives on the programmes we enjoy most!

I just stumbled across this one tonight... look up your state and see lots of wacky things your neighbors have set up for travelers to enjoy.

Darn! I can't get this link to work!

Click Here


I can't do the regular formatting cause of the commas in the addy. But, for some reason this board is automatically making it into a link, but its putting some weird stuff in front of the http:

Can a mod fix this? The addy (I'll break it up, so this site maybe won't fuss with it) is: http:// web.icq.com/ shockwave/0,,4845,00.swf

Its supposed to lead to a cute page where you click on some reindeer, and they dance and do cute things to "We Wish You A Merry Christmas."

Gee, and I was going to put it in one of the Christmas threads too, but if its this much darn trouble, the heck with it.

In the meantime, looks like it will work if you copy/paste the link I broke up, then get rid of the spaces!
