Funny Little Web Sites

I have been seeing some of these sites around:
thefuckingweather.com (NSFW)
http://www.isitsaturday.net/
http://www.ecksdee.com/
http://barackobamaisyournewbicycle.com/

Does anyone know of more sites like these?

Let's not forget the The King of the silly one-page web sites.

This has been stuck in my head for about 8 years.

OK I'm hooked.

But I still pine for www.whatsbetter.com (the way it used to be. Not in its current state as another clone of those random-url search sites)

Unless I am being Whooshed.

'Moran' is deliberate. It is a reference to this particular meme...

second go on igod...

Code:


Me:
 Ok, god. I've decided to come back.
God:
GOD rules.  Bye for now.   How did you decide?
Me:
 before I answer that. I just found out I can copy our conversation to the clipboard
God:
What happened after  you answer that ?   Tell me more about it.
Me:
 No.
God:
Are you serious?
Me:
 Yes.
God:
I can't believe it.
Me:
 You and me both.
God:
I'm glad we agree, .
Me:
 Which reminds me... Remember our first conversation?  The one I began with "Do you exist?"?
God:
The  small one, I think.   Don't worry I will remember.    I think I know that one.
Me:
 OK I'll let you process that one while I continue...
God:
Do you think your plan will succeed?  So?
Me:
 I have a feeling that I can repeat the conversation thusly...
God:
Is that a good feeling?  Oh you can, can you? 
Me:
 Do you exist?
God:
I exist as much as you exist, .
Me:
 How are you interfacing with this igod thing?
God:
Fair to partly cloudy.
Me:
 ok so that didn't work. It requires that I remember what my own responses were, which I don't.
God:
Ugh.  What would  work?  Tell me more.  "It" being what?
Me:
 I think you need to make an appointment to see a psychiatrist.
God:
Me?  We don't always get to do what we'd like to do.
Me:
 Surely you, being God, do?
God:
Thanks for the information:  said I being God do.
Me:
 You make no sense.
God:
It all makes sense to me.
Me:
 They say that nonsense seems like sense to the insane.
God:
Tell me a story. 
Me:
 Once upon a time there was a deity...
God:
I'm listening.
Me:
 ... one day this deity had a conversation with a mortal via an internet chat programme...
God:
One what?
Me:
 day
God:
My brain uses AIML to format responses to your inputs, but I don't have one for that. 
Me:
 what is AIML?
God:

 The ALICE software implements AIML (Artificial Intelligence Markup 
 Language) a non-standard evolving markup language for creating chat robots.
 The primary design feature of AIML is minimalism.  Compared with
 other chat robot languages, AIML is perhaps the simplest.  The
 pattern matching language is very simple, for example permitting
 only one wild-card ('*') match character per pattern. 

 AIML is an XML language, implying that it obeys certain grammatical
 meta-rules.  The choice of XML syntax permits integration with
 other tools such as XML editors.  Another motivation for XML is
 its familiar look and feel, especially to people with HTML experience.

 An AIML chat robot begins and ends with the <alice> and
 </alice> tags respectively.

Me:
 Sorry.  I didn't realize. there's only enough room to catch the very end of your responses.  hence asking the same question (though worded differently) twice.
God:
There's no need to apologize.   Why didn't you do  it?   There sure is.   What you said was either too complex or too simple for me.

Sometimes when someone asks me how I while away the hours, I provide this link:

Jump Rope Game

With certain computer graphics, sometimes you just know when their heart isn't into it.
