Pixoid, the Evil Overlord page has always been one of my favorites.  
[www.bad-candy.com](http://www.bad-candy.com) is another classic. It’s a page where some guys with way too much free time review bad (mostly mexican, although circus peanuts are on there too) candy, with hilarious results. Fear the tamarind!

One final addition for the night, come and vent your frustration on the over-exposed celeb of the moment:

A question, is there going to be an archive of every _Wierd Earl_ somewhere on the page? I think it might make for a very nice list to do some industrial strength procrastination.

A couple of my favorite bizzaro sites:

[Conspiracy at the Denver Airport](http://www.mt.net/~watcher/nwodnver.html): Proof that your government is gathering up orphans and feeding then to a colony of extraterrestrials living in a city under the new Denver airport. I’m convinced.

[The Inflatable Animal Fetish Page](http://www.xydexx.com/inflatable/animal.htm): This may or may not be a joke, but either way, it’s weird and icky.

[SpellWeb](http://www.spellweb.com): A handy internet oracle. Allows the web to democratically and instantly decide which of two options you should pursue.

[The Church of the Subgenius](http://www.subgenius.com): The Grand Poobah of bizarro sites.

[Breakfast at Fry’s](http://www.crl.com/~jnelson/nauseam/verbage/seven.htm)  
Excerpts:

> [@](#):
>
> First things first. There are four Fry’s superstores in California: Campbell, Fremont, Sunnyvale, and Palo Alto. Each store has a  
> unique theme, kind of like each particular district in Disneyland. I’m waiting for them to build one resembling Never-Never  
> Land; it would be the place where the competent and friendly salespeople worked.

> [@](#):
>
> It becomes apparent that Fry’s is basically one-stop shopping for a good segment of the nerd population in the area. The entire  
> weekly list can be fufilled: Ruffles, Pepsi, software, hardware, programming books, voltage meters, Walkman, Penthouse,  
> music CDs, shaving cream, deodorant, paper towels, t-shirts, and sweats. Everything else in life is, after all, optional.

Much hilarity ensues.
