Hey all,

Any of you out there enjoy the website [www.fark.com](http://www.fark.com) and it’s whimsical links to news and information all over the web?

Well, there are usually one or two that light me up, good for the cardio system :\>)

Here were two such links from today; was wondering what the fine people from ‘The Straight Dope’ thought of them…

Enjoy, or be annoyed…

This one was on Fark earlier today but was dropped. Took me a while to hunt it down, but here it is:

So… is your beef with the site or the content of the links?

To me, going to [Fark.com](http://Fark.com) is sort of mentally poking yourself in the eye, it hurts but you just can’t seem to stop yourself from doing it. :eek:

So that would be uhh… Yes, I think it’s a great site, and it’s not so much a beef as it is complete and utter amazement regarding their links’ content: On almost a daily basis there is at least one link that portrays peoples’ thoughts - or the lack thereof - and actions that are so incredible, that I’m left wondering whether the human race is doomed.
