Crazy Amazons and Zero-G Cats

What follows are the first round of websites in a continuing series. These are the sites that our editors are so enamoured with (for good or bad) that we share amongst ourselves. Now we have decided to share with you.

Disclaimer: As of publication, all of the following links are valid. We take no responsibility for the content contained on the sites linked to. As with all sites, the shifting grains of sand that make up the internet have a way of moving things around. If you find that these links no longer work, you should have been here sooner. Google is your friend. If you find something you don’t like on any of the pages linked, find a tissue.

Shall we begin?

1. Animal Cruelty or funniest thing you have ever seen?

We will start you off with a double shot of videos that are sure to ellicit a responce. Both feature cats in human made contraptions. I will leave them up to you and your particular fondness for our feline friends to judge…

Auto-Wash?

Do cats always land on their feet? How about in zero-G?

2. Arrested?

“This is Michael Bluth.” And so begins a masterpiece of modern television. I know, that isn’t saying much is it? In a swamp of boring, rehashed jokes and worthless reality programming Arrested Development was a fan-boat skimming atop the muck. It was sometimes brilliant, sometimes slapstick, but always entertaining. And now season one is online and free to watch. Warning, you will get hooked.

3. Window to the World’s Soul

Web 2.0 promised users something new, right? Sites like Myspace and facebook(however soul-stealing they may be) have fallen a little short of spectacular in my opinion. But occasionally, out of the “new” internet, up pops a site that really does push what a website can be. Flickervision is what I think of when someone mentions web 2.0. Using a mash up of Flicker.com and google earth, this app shows you every photo someone uploads to flicker, and where they are uploading it from. Hypnotic is the best word to describe this site. Never knowing what may pop up next, it is truly hard to pry yourself away.

4. Crazy Amazons

Amazon.com sells some weird stuff… Finding one of these bizarre items can be entertaining in itself. Then there comes the comment sections. Check out these gems…

Milk?

Uranium Ore?

Cottontail?

Well, I hope you have enjoyed this little look into what the editors here at Project 413 like to do to entertain ourselves. If you have any websites that you think we or others would enjoy just email them on over. If we like them, they could make it into the next installment. If we hate them, well, you just wasted your time didn’t you?

Chris Nopper spends way too much time on the internet. When a deadline looms, there is nothing he enjoys more than sending the other members of Project 413 a stupid, strange, or otherwise bizarre link that has nothing to do with his assignment. He is funny like that…
