[This](http://www.realultimatepower.net/) is still my favorite thing out there. Any other sites you find funny? (I was reminded of it in the MPSIMS thread of MuadDib today) ---

[This](http://www.notwithoutmyhandbag.com/babynames/index.html) website is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen on the internet. The names and the comments from the mothers-to-be is hilarious, but it’s Diana Goodman’s commentary that brings it to the level of genius. It’s also great for those like jokes that get stuck in your head for days (“Laken, ja!” “I’m naming my baby **Baby Jesus** ,” “LaPleasure,” “Fanasty”). ---

Please, oh please, someone post that European (?) Turkish (?) joke website music video, with the Terry Gilliam-esque animation and the dancing “stiff” people and the face of the old ;j -looking dude smiling, with glasses, getting bigger and bigger. Wish I could explain it better. ---

Oh, yeah, Hatt-baby, hatt-baby! I love that one. It’s in Norwegian, IIRC – might be Swedish, it’s been awhile since I saw it. Does the badger video ever end or is it a loop? ---
