Out and about Gay, gay, gay: Have you had your daily dose of abuse? Isgay.com makes it easy to piss off those around you. Just send them an innocuous e-mail pointing them to a new site, devoted to their life: Their.name.isgay.com. Put in your name, and you'll be shocked to see what's already been revealed to the entire Web--that you are gay! Just kidding. Isgay.com works by taking any name you type into the address and running a script that enters it into a little gay report. So no matter your lifestyle preference, the site pays no heed. Plus you can check out the hate mail from people who just don't get it. Accuse your friends at www.isgay.com. Rare: The Strange (and Rare) Videogame Pics Page takes a walk on the rare side of classic video games: photos and background info on some of the rarest bits of hardware and software out there--the unreleased and the forgotten. It's like a walk down memory lane, in an alternate weird dimension. Up up down down at members.tripod.com/~faberp/. Michael Citrome |

Rude food Time of the season: If you're like everyone else in North America, except for the people in the Central Time zone area of Indiana, you lost an hour of sleep last weekend. Why? That scourge of the ages called Daylight Saving Time. People have been trying to get rid of DST since it was introduced during the First World War to allegedly save energy. So far it's been blamed for everything from sleep pattern disruptions to school bus accidents. Well, don't just show up late, you can make a difference. Join the movement at End Daylight Saving Time. Clock in at www.standardtime.com. Vomitacular: If lovey-dovey, sugarpill, hearts-and-roses Web sites make you want to violently puke on puppies--and don't they do that to us all--you'll love Sappy Site of the Week, the creation of Marlene, the Queen of Mean. Each week Marlene presents a revolting, insipid site, which usually inspires a volley of hate mail. Be mean at www.heartlessbitches.com/ssotw/. Michael Citrome |

Rude food Tasteless: Ray's List of Weird and Disgusting Foods is an exhaustive (and exhausting) document cataloguing the most vile and horrible foods in nearly every culture worldwide. Cross-referenced and linked, with plenty of supplemental and anecdotal information, Ray includes everything from the process of getting prairie oysters (it takes balls) to recipes for traditional Mexican insect dishes. Yum. But prepare for a rude awakening--Ray's belief is that every culture has a food item prized by its members, but incredibly rude to everyone else. So if you enjoy the occasional glass of spruce beer, you may be shocked that you're GROSSING US ALL OUT! That's nasty at www.andreas.com/food.html. Efil4zdren: Yo, G, want to flash los signos and represent the colours like a real gangsta? Check out the dilly at Chicagoland Gangs for the guide to how to appear as a real thug from the streets. Instructions for hand signs, gang tags and colours are all here. Break out the Ben Davis and Nike Cortez at sobs.org/chilocal/gangs/gnghome.html. Michael Citrome |

Web of lies Sacrilegious: From the devious minds at Warner Bros. comes an Internet talk show so out-there, it's divine. The God and Devil show has the supreme being and his satanic arch-nemesis hosting an animated chat show where the guest--usually a media celebrity of questionable credentials, such as pro-wrestler-turned-governor-turned-lame-o-football- commentator Jesse Ventura--is sentenced to the lofty paradise of heaven or the flaming pits of hell. It's up to you to decide. Shout at the devil at www.warnerbros.com/pages/god_devil/. Trust no one: Did you know that the word "nose" is the past tense of "nise," meaning to protrude strangely? Or that Mao Tse Tung was an avid devotee of Monster Truck rallies and drove a 17-foot-tall Dodge Ram called "Paper Tiger"? Probably not, because these are lies. Dave's Web of Lies presents hundreds of misconceptions and made-up facts to confuse silly people. Take a look at www.cs.man.ac.uk/~hancockd/dwol.htm. Michael Citrome |
