freakylinks, i believe, is affiliated with the new show by the creators of “The Blair Witch Project”. The show, which i bbelieve also to have the same name (Freakylinks) is an almost complete rip-off of the last broadcsat, as if TBWP wasn’t.

anyways, here’s a link

I see that someone has already posted an online Toilet Museum.

But I prefer the Sulabh International Museum of Toilets.

You can [catproof your computer](http://www.bitboost.com/pawsense/index.html) using PawSense!

According to their website,

> [@](#):
>
> When cats walk or climb on your keyboard, they can enter random commands and data, damage your files, and even crash your computer. PawSense is a software utility that helps protect your computer from cats. It quickly detects and blocks cat typing, and also helps train your cat to stay off the computer keyboard.
> 
> Every time your computer boots up, PawSense will automatically start up in the background to watch over your computer system.
> 
> PawSense analyzes keypress timings and combinations to distinguish cat typing from human typing. PawSense normally recognizes a cat on the keyboard within one or two pawsteps.
> 
> If a cat gets on the keyboard, PawSense makes a sound that annoys cats. This teaches your cat that getting on the keyboard is bad even if humans aren’t watching.
> 
> Once a cat has been recognized, PawSense blocks the cat’s keyboard input. This keeps the cat from entering lots of commands to your programs or operating system.

Even after careful study of the web site, I’m _still_ not absolutely convinced that this for real. However, for $20 (no, it’s not a free download), it’d better be.

I wondered what kind of sick fucks were out there, so I typed this into my browser.

[http://www.misogyny.com/](http://www.misogyny.com/)

Here are some quotes.

> [@](#):
>
> My animosity is not just toward women. I also hate men that men oppress other men and even themselves, while deferring to and sucking up to women, under the illusion that there’s some reward in it for them. Also men that bury their heads in the sand and deny what is happening.

> [@](#):
>
> I hate women because I want their attention and they won’t give me any. Simple enough? Did you really think I was going to purport otherwise?

> [@](#):
>
> It is clear that this faction of society has as goal the elimination of the male gender. They are succeeding bit by bit.

Funny if you don’t take it seriously. Sad if you do. Weird, either way.

To quote from the site:

> [@](#):
>
> NOTE: We make no scoring allowances for Hollywood’s trumped-up “messages” to excuse, or its manufacturing of justification for aberrant behavior or imagery. This is NOT a movie review service. It is a movie analysis service to parents and grandparents to tell them the truth about movies using the Truth. If you do not want the plot, ending, or “secrets” of a movie spoiled for you, skip the Summary/Commentary. In any case, be sure to visit the Findings/Scoring section – it is purely objectuve and is the heart of the CAP Entertainment Media Analysis Model applied to this movie.

Yup. The TRUTH about movies. And it’s purely objective. No fuzzy leinency for this guy.

Check out the little thermometers each review has, objectively measuring “Wanton Violence/Crime” or “Impunity/Hate”.

Actually, he’s pretty honest, giving “Prince of Egypt” a pretty rotten violence score from the biblical violence.

I think I found a web page that meets the qualifications for Weird Earls–I’m refering, of course, to The Britney Spears Guide to Semiconductor Physics, [http://www.britneyspears.ac/lasers.htm](http://www.britneyspears.ac/lasers.htm)

This might be my favorite web sight since the Debbie Gibson for President site closed up.

If you dare, you can read my novel on the web [http://jimpetty.home.netcom.com/novel1.htm](http://jimpetty.home.netcom.com/novel1.htm) it’s not exactly normal. I have a slightly corrected version (I got around to proofreading it and noted a couple of mistakes.) but haven’t uploaded it yet.

you can download a sample of this sound. It turns out to be a VERY LOUDLY and very badly played harmonica.
