Passing Notes
www.de-noted.com/index.php
The de-noted blog encourages people to leave a message on currency and then pass it into circulation, after, of course, sending the folks at de-noted a pic of the bill. The bill photos are broken into the categories: advice, statements, drawings, and questions. My personal favorite is the series of alterations done to Chairman Mao on a Chinese renminbi note found in the drawings categories. Currently the sites pickings are a little slim, and there are precious few US entries. You know what to do.
DDIY ( Don't do it yourself )

This ugly URL leads to the ugliest DIY project I've come across—DIY tongue bifurcation. For those of you who aren't up on your body modification jargon, 'tongue bifurcation' is splitting the tongue on the midline, so that it's forked similar to a snake's. Normally this sort thing is handled by professional body modifiers in the sanitary confines of a tat parlor, not by a teen in his bedroom armed with a tongue piercing, fishing line, and a 'high pain threshold and a strong sense of determination.' Honestly, kids today...
Britney Shears

You didn't think I could let recent events pass without some cheap shot at the Britney, did you? Well, Craig Ferguson's plea for us to be nice to a troubled youth has not fallen on deaf ears here at WWWeird Central. So instead of mocking Britney, I offer up these two web sites to help her embrace her new baldness. The first is a bald men's rah-rah site, but it does have galleries of famous bald women. And the second, well let's just say it's the type of site that would pay good money for pics of bald-pated Brit getting out of her limo. Wink. Wink, Nudge. Nudge. Know what I mean?
In Guns we trust

Every time I think the Internets have lost their capacity to scare me, its tubes dish out something new that makes me fear for the future and wonder why the hell I wasn't born someplace civilized like Europe. ArmedAmerica is a series of family portraits of gun owners—with their guns. There's definitely something incredibly disturbing, and deeply American, about a photo of a family sitting in their living room featuring papa, four year-old Suzie, and mama with little baby Howitzer resting peacefully on her lap.
