This Is Broken, a weblog that points out things (mainly advertising) that aren’t quite right. A few are just from submitters that are overly picky, but some are quite funny.

I dislike Cingular, not just for their crappy reception or bad customer service, but because these assclowns think they somehow control how people link to them. Read on.

Holysmoke.org describes itself as “a skeptical site that looks at the facts about frauds, fakes, fools, and flim-flam”. I got there by searching for the always ridiculous Bob Larson.

I had never heard of the Bath School Disaster before, but all the media attention on Virginia Tech this week has pushed the topic around a bit online. 45 people killed by dynamite.

More sites need to be useful like this one, Lunarama is a user-driven guide to “all-night restaurants and joints” across the United States. Boston is so lame, I’m not surprised to see only 4 listed here, and only one I’ve actually been to (South Street Diner for the curious, check the pie selection!).

Leave it to WFMU’s Beware of the Blog to inform me of what might be a human case of the Shope papillomavirus. Here’s a comment from this “Beware of the Blog” post: “These growths look very similar to ones caused by the Shope papillomavirus strain in rabbits. This virus also causes keratin growths that eventually hinder the rabbit’s ability to eat/breath, thus killing the host. The horn-like projections are the origin of jackelope stories and sightings. This may well be some unidentified strain of papillomavirus specific to humans.”
