This is a very interesting site with some very interesting works of art done on hands, I like the first one, the dog, the best. http://community-1.webtv.net/Apoetess/PAINTEDHANDS/

Ewww Sia! After viewing a few of those photos, I'd say liposuction is not for me. Many of the "after" photos looked worse than the "before" photos!

Fluff, those were cool. I liked all of them the best! Thanks for sharing.

I personally have never seen anything like that bonsai kitten thing and think it is one of the most inhumane things I've ever seen. Wish I didn't know about it.

Fluffy, my kids and I wish there were more painted hands to see on that site. What intricate work--such patience the artist must possess.

Abby, I have to agree: Bonsai Kittens are just abominable. I didn't find it funny, and didn't get a sense that the site's author was going for humor. Surprisingly (NOT!), the mail didn't include any hate-letters (that I could find, anyway). In contrast to "livenudecats.com," BonsaiKittens just struck me as incredibly grim and grisly. (Ellenkats, I just didn't GET it; please explain it to me, LOL!)

Sia, there is nothing to get.

It is just plain wrong.

Melfie, don't think I'm naive or something, but I'm trying to ask: you don't think those people are SERIOUS, do you? Don't you think they just went to elaborate lengths to spoof the idea? It's inconceivable that ppl would anaesthetize kittens, give them muscle-relaxers and stuff them into glass jars. They're not really doing this, right? Aren't they just making fun? I kept looking for confirmation of this on the web-site, but didn't find it, which made me quite nervous!

(btw, are you the Dr. Jennifer Melfie who treats Tony Soprano? He has some serious ISSUES!)

Sia, I guess to me whether or not it is a joke is irrelevant - the fact that someone would come up with the idea in the first place makes me feel sick.

I've never seen the Sopranos! I know, I am probably one of the five people left who don't have HBO - so no Sex and the City either!

Melfie, don't feel left out for not having HBO. I don't have cable or satellite at all and receive only CBS, NBC, two PBS stations and occasionally ABC! I've watched "Sopranos" on DVD from the library and wouldn't watch "Sex & the City" for any reason, LOL! The kitty-in-a-jar idea IS sick; I love cats dearly.

Hey two other people who don't have HBO! That makes 3 of the 5. :) I'm the only one at work that watches BB instead of 6 Feet Under and the Sopranos. We have satelite but we got it for BBC America and Cartoon Network. We have no need of movie channels our housemate is a manager at the multiplex theatre at the end of our street. The kitty thing upset me too.

I'm probably so "into" reality-shows (BB & Survivor) simply 'cause we don't have cable; it forces me to watch network-TV, which is okay. I've decided to keep satellite/cable out of the house to protect my kids. They see enough violence on the news and hear enough raw language on soap-operas when I turn them on. (I'm ready to give them up!) Cable cartoons (like the ones on Nickelodeon) really have turned me off because they glorify kids who are mouthy to adults, and I just don't agree with that. We have a difficult time prying our kids away from other folks' TV-sets because other people set no limits at all and let their children watch stupid cartoons 24/7. I also hate the non-stop onslaught of cartoon-related merchandise that kids are subjected to on the cable stations. It's as bad as network in the last weeks before Christmas! (Rant over!)

Hi, my name is Anja and I don't have cable. I have never seen the Sopranos or Sex in the City.

Sia, I agree about what you said about children's televison. We stick with PBS in our house. Or videos. My son's current favorites are Thomas the Tank Engine and The Wiggles.

Oh, and since this is the "Interesting Web Site" thread, check out flylady.net She has changed my life!! Wonderful system and way of thinking about house work and general home management.

Bonsaikitten is a joke -- they aren't really doing such a thing. If they were, I wouldn't have posted it.

Ellenkats I am glad you responded. It upset me so bad I shut the computer off and did not read any further to find out the truth. I coudn't watch the Iron Chef cook the turtles the other night either.

Corrie -- awww. Nah -- the little kitten is just playing in the jar (plus a little cropping/splicing) to give that effect. I am HUGE cat lover (actually, vegetarian & animal lover in general) I will even put a moth or cricket that gets in the house out the back door rather than let my cats torture it. :-) Though, spiders don't get same protection from me. lol I guess it's just one of those sites -- some, like me, find it a hoot -- others miss the humour, worry it will make kids suddenly put kittens in jars, etc. I thought this thread was for unusual-type sites, so I shared it. Maybe you liked the duct tape cam better. :-)

I think the Urban Legend site is odd enough that it belongs here. I have one friend who, unfortunately, is quite gullible and I always hit the reply button to send that website to her. It is a fun place to go, hang out and surf, if nothing is going on here of course!

I'm sorry I cannot post the link because I have webtv,but when I want a good laugh,I go to this website: Kissthisguy.com

This is a site based on misheard lyrics with people sending in their entries containing their misheard lyrics and they can be very funny!

It all started with a Jimi Hedrix song...
In the song,"Purple Haze," people often misheard the line,"'Scuse Me While I Kiss The Sky," for,"Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy"..

Well,since I laugh at everyone else's entries,I guess it's only fair<sigh> to include one of my own..
When I was much younger,my older sister would play the same song over and over(I did the same thing when I became older,lol) and even though I loved that song,I didn't know what the singer was saying. I thought the song was called,"I Ain't Jay." Well,I finally found out that the correct title was really,"Angie" by the great Rolling Stones! Love the song,even have many Stones cds,but whenever I hear that song on the radio,I can't help but sing it "my way" AGHHHHH!!!!!!
Okay,enough embarrassing myself! If you go to the site,enjoy!!

I should have thought of the urban legend site - oh well! www.snopes.com is an urban legend site that's fun to read too.

Kissthisguy is one of my favorites! Another good one is the Stupid Page http://www.sebourn.com/stupid.html

Thank you Mamanja for the FlyLady site it's great. One of my favorite useful sites is:
www.paycheckcity.com where you can calculate your paycheck with taxes for each state and deductions along with a variety of other calculators.

I hope this works for you. This is a site where you have a quiz with pictures and you have to guess whether they are men in drag or women. I have been very surprised by alot of these.

For those that may enjoy sending out fun e-mails here is a site that I've found to be super. I've used this program in place of my "boring" Outlet Express for almost a year now. I made it my default e-mail, and have never had a problem with it. It is a FREE download, and there are thousands of free stationary, animations and notifiers to add to it. I've shared this with quite a number of people and everyone raves about it.

Hope you like it too :)
