Boyfriend Pillow: I guess half a man is better than no man.
[UPDATE (3/4/05): Updated link. There’s also one for the dudes. {via}]
Munster Mansion: a nearly exact replica of the one from the sitcom. From the FAQ: “The Munster Mansion is the real-life home of Charles and Sandra McKee. It was Sandra’s dream—Sandra is the real Munsters fan—to build a house just like that of her favorite ’60s sitcom family. In November 2001, Charles and Sandra began to make that dream a reality.” As Seinfeld would say, “Alright, good luck with all that.”

“Woman worries about effects of jackhammer noise on her unborn baby”: her concern is, how shall I put it, misdirected. {via}
Quirky Japan: quirky doesn’t begin to describe it. They’ve come a long way from the samurai.

“How do I print flashing fonts”: make your paper come alive! You have to wonder if this guy first asked a newsgroup or this was his last resort after exhaustive searching and questioning of friends. {via}
Stupid Gifts: the unification of design and content. {via}
You Might Be an IE user: I can’t remember the last time I read anything funny from Dvorak. My favorite: “If your email address is listed on your business cards as ‘www.joesmith@yahoo.com’, you might be an IE user.” {via}

Alaskan DMV Cam: CornCam, meet your match!
Name That Candy Bar: how many can you get right? I got three out of twelve!
CornCam: And you thought the webcam trained on the coffee pot was boring.
Office Playground: desk accessories of the meatspace kind.
Co-Worker Cards: free PDF cards to tell your co-workers when they’re too obvious in their kiss-assery, when they’re having problems getting to work on time, or when they’re “sick” all the time.
Roadside Peek: a look at the stuff along the road. I don’t know how much I’d trust a roadside guide whose Arizona guide doesn’t include The Thing or that flying saucer restaurant in Gila Bend. But that’s just me.
Yuri in Da Cab: MC Yuri is a Russian driving a cab in NYC. Except he’s not. It’s a fake site to promote the latest crappy made-from-a-TV-show movie Taxi. It’s fun to see what other sites have either bought the joke or are part of the astroturf.
Food Timeline: history of food in a nutshell.
I Love Schools: Matchmaking service for teachers and the people who want to help them.
Who is That Eating Jeremy?: parody site of Who is That with Jeremy?.

Man arrested for tipping under 18%: I’m sorry but it was on the menu and the waitress told them about it. The customers basically walked out on 18% of their bill and that’s theft any way you slice it. 66,607 people are wrong. {via}

International CXT: for when the H2 just doesn’t show how big a man you are.
Separated at birth: Time cover and goatse. {via}
Oh My Gods!: I guess polytheists need a laugh too? Weird.
Fried Oreo Cookies: just one of the many strange pieces of junk food. To each their own, I suppose.
The Real Soup Man: I thought I had linked to the real-life Soup Nazi before, but a search suggests I hadn’t. I don’t know why any sane man would name his business “The Soup Kitchen International.” It sounds like a relief agency.

Man decapitated during drunken ride: the perils of drunken driving—the driver decapitated his passenger on a telephone wire, drove home, and left the body in the car while he went to sleep it off. I just need to read stories like this to remind me why I’m a teetotaler. {via}
Medical Journal of Australia: “honey, why aren’t you wearing your wedding ring?” The variability of the human body never ceases to amaze me—even when it makes me want to retch. {via}
