Remember, even a 
is a good site! It just isn't as good
as the other pages I link to. If I don't like a site, I dont link to it.
This section has been reorganised with the info from the old awards now
mentioned within the description. I've categorised the links into broad areas,
and upped the rating system from out of three to out of five. A five star site
is one that will have the phone company laughing all the way to the bank.
Hopefully, these changes will make your life complete. -assessing- means I've
heard the site is good, but am checking it out so I can rate it, or I haven't
read enough to rate it yet.
| Humour Sites | Useful Sites | Interesting Sites |
| People I know / Knew | Campaigns | Fun Sites |
| Mentioned Sites | Creatures Sites | Unclassifiable |
| Site | Description | Rating |
| OW! | A mishmash of completely random nonsense. Includes bits of interactive fun. |  |
| Official Darwin Awards | Stories of people who have removed themselves from the gene pool in the most amusing way, by either death or destruction of the necessary organs... | |
| The Dilbert Zone | Read the Dilbert comic, vote on List Of The Day, submit to future lists, play Interview With The Evil Human Resources Director. If you like Dilbert, you'll want to visit daily. If you don't like Dilbert, don't bother. | |
| I Hate Bill Gates | The name says it all. You can even send postcards and post your own jokes. | |
| The Domain Of The Impostor | Download the Pie Bill Gates game, then download image files and play with sets such as kill Barney or Kenny! (DEAD???) | |
| Inverse Reality | Some nutter's mad ramblings. Check out the Peaches bit | |
| Marshmallow Bunnies Survival Tests |
Someone has helpfully done experiments on marshmallow rabbits and given us the results. Good for a one-off look | |
| Case Study: Pop Tarts Blowtorch and Grapes Microwave |
More experimentation here, but with Pop Tarts and grapes. Some people have too much time... You'll not want to go back | |
| Purple Relief | Anti-Barney site. Has loads of files. It's quite big, but can get a bit tedious as the whole site is just one joke. | |
| Site | Description | Rating |
| Densa | Quizzes and the like. The Densa Enterance Exam is by far the best bit. | |
| Centre For The Easily Amused | Features an incredible amount of fun stuff to do. You could spend your whole life here (if you wanted to) | |
| MetaSpy | Watch what people are searching for on MetaCrawler. Go unfiltered. The humour relies on someone doing a weird search while you're looking. | |
| ShockRave | Fun with ShockWave! Watch the phone bill! | |
| Hampster Dance | Animated GIF dancing hamsters. The original and best dancing site. Worth a visit, but there's not much worth returning for. | |
| Site | Description | Rating |
| Andiland Online | Varies. The site has regular new articles. Features too much mined stuff, but you won't find a better zine style personal site | |
| Dimension Mark | Previously a subsection of Andiland under a different name. Recently redesigned, may be worth more if it develops well | |
| Site | Description | Rating |
| Movie Critic | Tell it which films you've seen, give them all a rating for how much you liked them, and it will compare what you liked to other people. Where people have close matches to you, it picks out films you might like. After you've put in a decent number of films, it will start to become very accurate. | |
| Real Networks | The RealPlayer software is an essential program if you're on the net. It's used to provide live radio and TV broadcasts. Many sound and video files for download can be loaded faster in RealPlayer format. | |
| Alta Vista | Alta Vista is THE search engine if you know what you're looking for. It attempts to list EVERY site on the internet. It is just about the only thing you can use to find half-remembered websites, as I did with Movie Critic and Inverse Reality. Also has questions from Ask Jeeves | |
| Shock Wave | ShockWave Flash and Director is used to enhance lots of sites, such as the official Simpsons site. It's worth having the plugins. | |
| InfoPlease | All these last three sites seem to do a similar job. From the descriptions, this gives useful information... | -assessing- |
| Learn 2 | ... this tells you how to do things ... | -assessing- |
| The Straight Dope | ... and this gives you facts. Better descriptions when I've had time to sort them. | -assessing- |
| Site | Description | Rating |
| Adbusters | An attack on consumer society. Has several ways the ordinary person can campaign against the machine, such as Buy Nothing Day. Make sure you check out the parody adverts | |
| Any Browser | Help for keeping your page viewable in any browser | |
| Keep ICQ free | Just a counter and a bit of text. Visit to show your support for keeping AOL from charging for the ICQ service. | |
| Wasp | Campaign to make all browswers W3C standard compliant. | -assessing- |
| Site | Description | Rating |
| Kosovo.net | A Serbian site which can provide a different side to the NATO bombing. The English varies from OK to just readable in places. | |
| Urban Legends | A massive collection of urban ledgends, and tracking wether they are true or not. A useful resource for tracking down a story, and an interesting site for reading what's going around at the moment | |
| APB Online | US law inforcment site. The best part is the RealAudio live police scanners. They even provide a handy list of terms used. | |
| Site | Description | Rating |

| Frimlin's Kiwi Creatures | Winner of the Cyberlife Golden Shee award. One of the best Creatures fan sites | |
| Norn And Grendel Palace | A good Creatures fan site. Where I learnt to do embedded MIDI. Good if you're just starting out- the page seems to lean towards the new user. | |
