A few years ago I stumbled across a web site showing a hilarious sequence of pictures of the Sinkhole of Doom, sometimes referred to as Sarlacc the Sinkhole. There's precious little that's as entertaining as seeing an old couple watch a car get sucked into an innocent-looking puddle of water. I passed the link around to some friends, but most of them couldn't see it because the site went down shortly thereafter. Determined to share the laughs, I managed to dig up a cached version of the site, which I promptly downloaded and hosted here myself.
Since then, I've been worried that sites I find immensely entertaining will go into the Great Bit Bucket in the Sky, never to be seen (and laughed at) again. So when I come across one that's sure to be a classic, I download the site-- often called "scraping" it-- and drop it right here so I can be sure to preserve it for future generations.
Without further ado, then, here are some of the sites I've added to the collection over the years. Note that some of them are actually my own creations, or part of some larger practical joke. |
 |
The Ten Worst Album Covers of All Time -- A look at what happens when bad music meets bad marketing. |

What To Do in a Terrorist Attack -- A re-labeled version of actual pictures from a U.S. government web site about responding to terrorists. |

What a Crappy Present! -- The real world's answer to the RIAA's lovely lawsuit frenzy. |

Dirk for President -- The joke's on my friend Dirk. Apparently this site started a whole political movement in his office. |

The Horror of Blimps -- A now-famous blog post by a guy who learned that blimps are menacing evil forces. |
