Another list of stuff I've seen in the past week or so.
First, some monkey stuff:
Did you know that there is a real monkey jail?
Tired of giving people ordinary hugs? Send 'em a monkey hug instead.
Steve the Spider Monkey will teach you about spider monkeys.
Check out this monkey photo gallery. Don't look at the unhung Orangutan, though. He strikes an indecent pose.
There are always another few interesting blogs to read:
This one calls himself the dirty monkey.
Another cool music blog, Royal Music.
This fine Trojan has a blog that follows, among other things, the Trojan football team.
If you have bad taste in music, you can go here to be insulted.
The Right Thinking Girl offers interesting views. She'd probably be an interesting coffee drinking partner.
I found out that I am listed on a site that values my bjournal. It's not even worth ten hours of my time. [sigh] And someone calling himself the Geek claims to own a bunch of it. WTF? Over.
You can take quizzes or tests:
Yet another classic IQ test.
What is your DJ name? I am DJ Bent Jelly.
Which Muppet's dark secret are you? I was the Count's obsessive-compulsive disorder.
From bad to worse. Which is the worst?
Try any of several quizzes at Modesty Panel. My favorite: Is it art or is it crap? Second favorite: Is it a snack or is it crap?
If you can't do well on either of those two, you may not decorate my home or make me dinner.
You can watch amazing or amusing videos:
See the new ending to the Return of the Jedi.
Creepy animation of domestic violence-wracked family. "Til Death Do Us Part."
I'd never heard of this movie, but the trailer is worth watching. Run, Ronnie, Run. (I doubt that renting the movie will now be necessary).
One of those [NSFW] Girls Gone Wild videos. The little dude behind the half-nekked girls seems to be having trouble understanding what is going on in his pants.
You can play games:
This is the littlest, crappiest version of pong I've ever seen.
Reversi. This one pissed me off in about ten seconds. YMMV.
Joust. The 2004 Election version.
You can do odd things:
Take your pick, at My Pet Skeleton.
Playing with digital paper dolls is almost fun if you are starting with Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
I haven't figured this noisemaker out, but I'm sure there is a point to it.
Now that you know your DJ name, you can actually be a DJ.
You can see strange or interesting stuff:
This is worth the price of reading it. 10 Things to Do For Free in Las Vegas.
Brittney scores another truly bizarre observation. Sometimes you're the deer, sometimes you're the dog. Sometimes, you're the disturbingly apathetic photographer who watches a deer mount your male dog right in front of a stack of deer antlers.
It's a world o freaks. Check 'em out.
If you are a parent, and you buy this squirtgun for your kid, you are an idiot.

A paintable miniature ceramic cow.
A complete shopping list of stuff you'll need if you are going to jail.
The ultimate capitalist scourge: someone selling coins minted from silver recovered from the WTC. This link is intended for informational purposes only. I do not endorse these disgusting opportunists.
Clever T-shirt: "I'm sure you're quite charming on the Internet."
The book that proves that we've already had five black presidents. Hey, if Babe Ruth was black, I suppose it's possible.
You can sit and wonder what these people were thinking:
The Votergasm people are quite odd.
The art of reading slow. Recommended for the "Slow Children at Play" that those signs always warn us about.
A good discussion of why Britney Spears is a freak.
The world apparently needs an organization that supports gay and lesbian people who water ski.

Dan Rather and actor Lane Smith.
Actors Michael Ironside (Richter from Total Recall) and James Gandolfino (Tony Soprano).
Actors Adam Arkin and George Clooney.

Stresses destroy people's ability to control and hamper time.
Mysterious new disease turns big-breasted babes into flat-chested females.
Organizers fear terrorist attacks at upcoming Al-Qaeda political convention.
The U.S. Constitution is a fake!
That last one freaked me out, so I'm going to go plan for the upcoming constitutional crisis. Luckily for me, the ban on assault weapons has been lifted.
