Okay, so the title is kinda crappy. And the links don't blink and there aren't kitchen sinks. But it's better than the old one. And it rhymes. Yay.
yay for pitas
Well, this is another pitas page I made. This one will be kind of sort of like a members directory, and it should be really useful, at least until Andrew makes the other one work. It's a list of other pitas. Interesting to see what other people have done with their sites. You can copy them by viewing source and cutting and pasting. Not that I condone plagiarism, but it's a good way to learn.
Big Bang machine could destroy Earth
Those crazy old nuclear physicists! What are they up to now? Well, this time they've made a machine that, when used, might cause the earth to evaporate. According to John Nelson, professor of nuclear physics at Birmingham University, "The big question is whether the planet will disappear in the twinkling of an eye. It is unlikely that there is any risk - but I could not prove it," he said. Hmm. I wonder.
A women's guide on how to pee standing up
First, it was women's suffrage. That started it all. Then Title IX. I guess was pretty important too. But now women want to be able to pee standing up. This is earth-shaking! Monumental! Weird! Really hard to do! (Exclamation points get on my nerves! Now they can get on yours too!) Anyway, go look at it. It's great.
Pitas Bookmarklets
Well, despite all my new computer learnin', I still don't know exactly how this works. All I know is that it does work, or at least mostly. This is an easier way to update your pitas page. (Wait, it could be EASIER?) What you do is go here and read about it and save the tool in your bookmarks. Then you log in at pitas, surf wherever you want to, and when you find a site you want to add, just highlight some text and click on the bookmark. Amazing? Yes! Magical? Yes! But I can't make it work the way it's supposed to. It puts the url and pagename in, but doesn't put the date or my selected text. Oh well. See if you can do any better with it.
I have a poll!
I couldn't stand having a webpage and not trying to make it all fancy schmancy. I added a counter and a poll. True, the poll does not have a very creative topic. I will try to come up with better ones later. If you want to suggest one, I'll do just about anything, email me (see left). Until then, vote, and feed my ever-growing pride over my fairly-well-trafficked site!
Penguin Peppermints
Go buy some peppermints. Or I guess you could just read about them. This site is about The Original Cafeinnated Peppermints. Three of their mints equal one coke's worth of cafeinne. I bought them a week or so ago, and now I'm addicted. You must admit, it's a damn fine idea. Read their story. Buy their mints. The end.
Todopoderoso
Come to think of it, maybe that name is a little awkward. See older entries for more about the site. Anyway, I think someone may have changed the password or maybe there's some problem with the server or something, but I can't get in! I'm sad. It was fun. Hey, Robert, I wasn't sure if the same person made both entries or not. But now I know. Anyway, if you changed the password, you pretty much suck, because that ruins the whole idea. Play fair. If anyone knows what's going on, you can email me.
Fade to Black
This page has some hilarious stuff on it. The layout kind of gets on my nerves, but you probably don't care. Just go see the site. It's full of irreverent, anti-social fun!
The Straight Dope
This is a site for all those people who like to know everything, and be able to rub that in everyone else's face. Example: Your friend, idly doodling in a notebook, draws a smiley face.
You quickly announce, "The smiley face craze, if not necessarily the smiley face itself, was the work of two brothers in Philadelphia, Bernard and Murray Spain, who were in the business of making would-be fad items. In September of 1970 (Bernard says 1969, but I suspect he's misremembering), they heard destiny calling. Casting about for some peace symbol-like item with more general appeal, they recalled the smiley faces that had been floating around for years in the advertising business."
Your friend gives you a weird look and goes back to doodling, but you know he's really just jealous of your all-encompassing knowledge.
