Goddamn Fox News online is impossible to read through all the ads. They are fucking their own readers SO HARD.

Memepool Has Links
1999-01-17 19:36:00
Memepool.com -- a links-to-links-to-links site by a bunch of freak-os from Carnegie Mellon and the IRC #perl channel -- has a whole buncha links. I mean, like, a lot. Yeah, really, a Web site by IRC freaks (and people from CMU (and some other people)). Serious!
Memepool is in my mind pretty OK. It's got a heavy geek factor -- you can tell they've done their Slashdot homework -- plus a lot of other stuff.
The site's nothing to write home about, design-wise. But that's OK. A little less dancing baloney won't hurt the Web much, that's for sure.
The thing that bugs me most is that they don't put much descriptive text around the links. I mean, it costs me TIME to go visit those links. I want to know what I'm going to see, dammit.
Anyways, I'd give memepool.com a B. It's better than average for a links-to-links-to-links site. I'm also retrogressively downgrading CamWorld to a C, just because it's not as good as memepool, and I guess I got a little generous with the grading there. OK, so, beauty. Check out memepool. GO there. Now. Do it.

Health and Human Services officials spend a year on pot
After a yearlong, comprehensive, thorough, complete investigation into the effects of marijuana usage, Health and Human Services (HHS) officials recommended that it be moved from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act to Schedule III, meaning that the HHS no longer considers cannabis to be a drug with high abuse potential and no medical value.

If you've ever wondered what actual bullshit looks like, just check the back side of Lee Meyers' decommissioned police cruiser. Lee chopped the top of the passenger side of the car off so he could take his full-grown Watusi bull, named Howdy Doody, for joy rides around his home town of Neligh, Nebraska. Since the car doesn't have bathroom facilities Howdy Doody just craps all over the back and side of the car whenever he feels the need to let one go. (More...)
Self-righteous assholes block highway to Burning Man
A group of self-righteous assholes converted exactly zero people to their cause by blocking the highway to Burning Man this week. The group, which used a flimsy trailer, some lengths of chain, and a few folding chairs to block the road, put up signs including "Burners of the World Unite," but none of the burners stopped in traffic wanted to unite with them for anything.

40 Acres, a Mule, and a Crummy 90-Second Spot on Weekend Update

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.

An innocent trip to the Central Market resulted in a severe attack of arachnophobia (and a meal) when a depraved street kid set her vicious pet spider on an unsuspecting shopper. (More...)
