Danica McKellar: the former star of The Wonder Years has her own web site. It’s got a great feature where she answers your math questions. No, really. She’s got a degree in mathematics and co-authored a paper on percolation and Ashkin-Teller models. No, really.

Lydia of Purple: as the absurd domain name suggests, Lydia makes “modest apparel, christian clothing, dresses, custom sewing.” Two things: how many domain names did she try before settling on that one and how does she communicate that to customers? {via}

Thumbies: this jewelry has a practical use as well since you could just ink it up when the bank asks for a thumbprint. {via}

PBS Ranch House: now issuing a casting call for participants in their reality series about putting modern Americans in historic settings. Hilarity doesn’t generally ensue, by the way. I think, personally, that they should do one called Ghost Town where people live in a resurrected ghost town. In Arizona. With me. {via}

“Trouble for the Tidy Bowl Man”: I just realized that I have nothing around the house that would allow me to withdraw a snake from my toilet. Looks like I’ll need to buy some PVC pipe and rope. {via}

Japanese Name Translation: get your name translated into katakana for free. Kanji would probably look better as a tattoo, though.

Not Proud: I’m not sure what to think about this—happy that people are proud, sad that the anonymity probably means they’ll do nothing to follow up, ashamed that such a thing is necessary or that it exists, or titillated at some of the confessions. {via}

Effective Methods to Test Your Bad Breath: know thyself and thy foul mouth odors. There’s also a free e-book on the subject that strains the notion of “$19.95 value”—would someone actually pay that much? {via}

Screens Hide Crashes from Curious Drivers: wouldn’t they be a curiosity in themselves? “What’s behind that screen? Can you see anything Gladys?” I couldn’t find the screens on the manufacturers’ sites though. {via}

Law and Order Cast Chart: use this chart to determine what year the show you’re watching was first aired by comparing the mix of detectives and prosecutors. They missed the other useful clue: the psychologists used. Or you can just hit the INFO button. To each their own.

Bacon Whores: a service where someone comes over to cook bacon for you. Amazingly, two men came up with the name. I’m pretty sure this is a fake since the signup form submits to an HTML page. {via}

Did You Know?: a quick once-over suggests that these are mostly accurate, though the etymology of posh is wrong and shah mat is actually shah-k-mate in Farsi. Oh, and the cobblestones in New York are less than 100 hundred years old. And the geographical center of the United States is near Lebanon, Kansas.
