The other new feature we just started on the main screen is Weird Earl’s (weird URL’s, get it?) - links to nutty websites we’ve found. Anything to help the Teeming Millions kill a little more time at the office. Post your suggestion for Weird Earl’s here. If we pick yours, why, we’ll just steal it - giving due credit to you, of course.

Hi boss! I found this one. Just put _another_ web site into the window, and it gets “Jesusfied.” Try it with the SDMB; it’s hilarious!

Here is a question. Any rules regarding Wierd Earls? I have a couple that while undoubtable weird and funny are questionable in their morals. i.e. The St. Paul prostitution photos. Very funny, contains photos of everyone arrested in the last week for prostitiution. Howevever I do feel a little guilty heaping more shame on these people then they really need. I mean some of them haen’t even been convicted yet. Anyone else have thoughts on this? Should a Weird Earl be tastefull, should it avoid ridiculing people? Or does anything go?

Well, we won’t post links to naked teenage sluts, most likely. Other stuff I dunno. Post 'em and we’ll have a look.

Don’t you just hate it when people try to make a word plural by adding 's instead of just s?

Um, hello? The King of all, [www.theonion.com,](http://www.theonion.com,) or its religious counterpart, [www.landoverbaptist.org](http://www.landoverbaptist.org) (or even a direct link to their advice columnist, Betty Bowers).

And since we’re in the biz of combating ignorance, don’t forget our friends at [www.snopes.com.](http://www.snopes.com.)

Oh, and the brunching shuttlecocks have those android name generators and Alannis Morisette song generators, and somebody out there had given me your Wu Name generator.

And in deference to all the trolls here, [www.baiting.org](http://www.baiting.org) is a great way to show people the _wrong_ way to web. 🙂
