Things Caught in the Web

October 25, 2001 - Thursday

A group calling themselves the "Drunk Gamers" has made predictions as to who will win Survivor III based on their favorite computer game and favorite drink. And, yes, there really is a drunkgamers.com.

If you have ever wanted to set yourself up as a James Bond villain but just didn't know how to go about it, why not start by buying your very own private island . (Not to be confused with buying a private Idaho. Though you could name your island Idaho, I suppose.)

An, in today's "Alcohol was involved" story, here's a pipe bomb dropped from a stolen plane .

It's art. Made from cheese . It's cheesy too.

This person has decided that the best way to get students more interested in math is to write math songs like "We will, we will graph you!" I'm not expecting it on the radio anytime soon myself.

And, finally, the answer to the question "Does a bear count in the woods?" The answer is apparently yes, and it counts in prime numbers. Alcohol was probably involved here too.

With yet another example of people with too much time on their hands, here are a bunch of cats dressed up in Civil War costumes . The word "why" comes to mind a lot.
