Farkin' Links Vol. 45 3/2

Man...I'm still trippin' the light fantastic with the anti cough medication right now. In that case, I'll give you a quote of the day instead.

The sad truth is that excellence makes people nervous.
--Shana Alexander


This is funny; there's a co-worker up in San Francisco who actually takes these classes. Why? I have no idea.

Looks like Oakland is going to use shame to discourage prostitution by posting pictures of "johns" on billboards and at bus stops. If they really want to shame them, they should put a picture of the crack whore they were propositioning next to them.

Well, this is far too much interpretation of a Bon Jovi song...although, maybe he can do "Every Rose Has it's Thorns" next. That song...that song is deep.

This is an interesting site...they keep a collection of people's favorite words and the reason behind it. You should send an entry. I don't think they'd be allowed to put my favorite word in there, though.

So even for the Vikings, size matters. Maybe that's why they were always overcompensating by pillaging.

Now this site is cool! Did you ever want to know all about WWII weapons? Apparently people did during the war, so the war department made some detailed posters with just da facts.

This is truly taking advantage of the power of the internet and doing a public good. This site provides the way to curse in every language you've ever heard of. So, kis em ik.

What, exactly, is a dork? Well, the BBC certainly has an opinion on the matter. (Hat tip:Tristan)

That is the ugliest animal I have ever seen...his nose is weirder than Michael Jackson's.

Here's yet another reason why I will never live in a place where it snows.

The weird ebay listing of the day; just goes to show you really can buy ANYTHING on ebay. Even supercomputers.

O.K., I have to say I've never heard of AWOL before...but I really would like to try it. Alcohol without liquid? It's the way of the future!

This site has hundreds of Sega commercials...even one with Michael Jackson! Moonwalker rules!

Whoa...I guess male teachers are getting back into the mix of giving hands on experience in sex education. This story reads like a Penthouse letter...

Wow...that's some expensive whiskey! I'll just stick to Boones...

Extreme poledancing? I'll allow it.

Just to show you how useless this obsession with safety is, they've just found that breast milk contains dangerous toxic chemicals that can harm you. Of course, babies NOT drinking breast milk is probably a little more dangerous to their health.

This story is just plain weird. This man kept his wife locked in the bedroom for 6 years...and nobody noticed.

Even weirder...well, 30 percent of couples in the Phillipines didn't know that having sex creates babies.

...and for the lesson of the day, if you're ever in a high speed chase with the cops, make sure to wear your seatbelt.
