Rock Balancing
Apparently there is a school of sculpture called rock balancing. At Rock on, Rock on! you will find the balancing rock sculptor of Bill Dan. There are photos of some of his works as well as the work of other rock balancing artists. Are they works of art? Or are they just weird exercises in balance? You decide.

Bored and More Bored
Take a break from all those adventurous travel and recreation sites. Visit the Dull Men's Club. You can get a recipe for how to boil water. Not only that but you can actually see for yourself that a "watched pot never boils" is just plain untrue. Other activities consist of visiting a page with bubble wrap and popping the bubbles. Maybe you like music but don't have the energy to keep up with latest musical trends. Go back to the basics. Listen to a metronome. These and many more activities await the truly dull man at the Dull Men's Club.
Cheater
Your reflexes are quicker than lightning but they won't do you any good if you run out of ammunition while fighting the hoard of evil alien creatures. The problem is there seems to be more aliens than bullets. How do you get past them? There must be a secret stash of ammo around somewhere--but where. You've tried everywhere to no avail. Now try Cheats from 1Up. They have cheats for PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, PC, GBA and even some old classics.
All Cats
Catster is all about cats. It has photos of over 19,000 cats from people all over the world. You can view pictures of cats, post pictures of your cats, see the latest in cat accessories and appliances (I found the hair magnet to be of special interest.) There's homage to cats who have given up the ninth life. And you can search for cats by purebreed.
As Performed by Bunnies
Angry Alien Productions has created quite a name for itself by remaking a number of movie classics and not so classics. You're right, remakes don't always succeed. These do because they don't have just one hook but two. They have something the other remakes don't. The remakes run a total of 30 seconds and the actors are all bunnies. It's amazing how these flash files cut through all the excess baggage of movies like: Titanic, Jaws, and It's A Wonderful Life. Price of admission can't be beat. It's free.

Bowling in 50 States
Everyone has their dream. This fella's dream is to bowl in all 50 states. Bowling Trip recounts the travels through 50 states. His next goal is to play handball in every state.
Strong Bad Hits 100
If you're not already a fan of Strong Bad (animated site) I will warn you in advance, he's kind of like escargot or White Castle hamburgers--an acquired taste. Strong Bad is a masked wrestler with a very definite point of view on life. He has no problem with communicating these thoughts to anyone who is willing to listen and watch.
Show Us Your Desktop
Several years back, before cigarette ads were banned from American television, one company drove around with a film crew in the back of a pickup truck and encouraged people to show their particular brand of cigarette. Well, that's the concept behind the Desktop Project. Instead of cigarettes it is a collection of desktop screen captures. These desktops come from all over the world. Be warned: some require parental discretion.
A New Type of Listing Service
We've all received wedding invitations with the subtle information that the couple is listed at WalMart or Sak's Fifth Avenue. But why should we get gifts for the new couple? They will be bringing the belongings of two people together into one household. What could they possibly need? The time to list is several years later when that same couple decides to split. Then one person will get the majority of the goods and the other will try to set up house/apartment with a minimum of supplies. It's at this time that the listing service known as: They Took Everything is needed.
