Google Suggest is a surprisingly useful tool. I'd say I usually get about half way through typing in a search term before Google tells me what I was searching for. But sometimes Google comes up with things that are, well, a little odd.

David Horvitz is offering some very unique goods and services in exchange for various amounts of money. His website came to my attention because it was featured in The Best American Non-Required Reading 2008. I recommend checking that out too.
Banksy has created an insane installation in the West Village (that's NYC, of course): an animatronic leopard, fish sticks swimming in a fish bowl, chicken nuggets that peck at a dish of dipping sauce... Crazy. Amazing. It's open from 10am - Midnight until halloween. 89 7th ave, between West 4th and Bleeker I'll be there tonight at some point. See you there?
Ever wonder what a Bee says in Italian? It sure ain't "buzz".
bzzzpeek let's you hear the animal noises, and a few vehicle noises, that people use in nine different countries. For example, in Italy dogs seem to make a sound much like a fire truck: wOwOwOw! While their fire trucks sound like they're Mork from Mork and Mindy: Nanu Nanu!
The world's smallest Pacman is... well it's what it says it is. Play Pacman online, just really, really small.
People seem to just love uploading pictures of their heads to things. Well here's another chance to see your face on a funny little digital body.
Human Clock and Human Calendar are both cool projects that display the current time or date (duh) using images. You can also submit your own photo to be included in this never ending project. Putting the fun in functional, har har.
If I spoke whatever language this is in it would surely make a lot more sense to me. Makyu Royale seems to be some sort of flash baseball "game" where you decided what kind of pitch to throw to get the final out. It also seems like you can create your own player stats or something... There's a lot of things you can click around on but over all I can't really decipher what I'm supposed to be doing....
Yesterday, for the 6th time this year and the second time this week, a human foot washed up on a British Columbia shoreline.
File this one under WTF. In the great tradition of children's media being made by people on LSD (see H.R. Pufnstuf, Teletubbies, etc.), Boobah appears to be PBS's attempt to totally freak out small children. I guess these are supposed to be "games" although I think they're better classified as "nightmarish seizure inducers". What do you think?
Busy, busy, busy, but I won't leave you undiverted (yeah, sure it's a word, what?). Check out the crazy flash animation on the HEMA (the Dutch IKEA?) website.
Do you need a liver? How about an heir to pass on the family name? Now get both in one convenient location! Check out Medical Adoptions.
I never had to dissect a frog when I was a student. As a kid I did have to dissect an owl pellet though. This involved cutting open a giant hair ball, pulling the bones of a small animal out of it, reassembling said small animal, and writing a story about how it was eaten and killed by the owl. Yeah. Scarred for life. And, side note, whose job is it to go through the woods finding and collecting regurgitated owl lunch so little children can have nightmares for weeks?
Well, now I can relive that fun experience over again with Froguts!. And I can get that frog dissecting experience I missed out on.
Just go to Froguts! and click on the "demos" tab. From there you have three options: frog, squid, or owl pellet. For frog, dissect the little friend in eerie detail; you even have to pin down his lifeless body. Joy! Squid is kind of boring: you just take a little "name the parts of the squid" test. And for owl pellet, relive my 6th grade horror. minus the whole "write a story" part. If you DO want to write a story about it though, go for it! And then come back here and put it in the comments section.
This band consists of two iPhones and a Nintendo DS. They are using PocketGuitar and iAno . Rumor has it they'll soon be adding a new member to utilize BeatPhone. THE FUTURE IS NOW PEOPLE!

We all make mistakes. Some are just more permanent than others.
Bad Tattoos is a gut-busting compendium of hilariously terrible blunders in ink. Posts range from your typical off-center tribal tats and poorly translated Chinese character jobs to your down-right offensive and white trash designs. Equally hilarious are the extremely witty comments by members.
You do need to have a LiveJournal account to friend and view this community, but they do have a website for everyone displaying their Worst of the Worst that anyone can get a sign in for.
Be forewarned: this site will suck you in for hours. Thanks to my girlfriend Gina for finding this gem.
