Sadly, We've never been able to crack our knuckles. ( Well, our finger knuckles anyway. We can crack our toes, but that's a little unseemly to do in public. ) Thank goodness this website came along. Now anytime we have an Internet connection we can crank up the volume on the iBook and engage in this annoying habit. And you know what the best part is? We can crack away to our hearts' content and never have to give those nasty Old Wive's Tales about knuckle-cracking leading to arthritis on instant of thought.
One man's trash is a another mans obsession

You all are too well aware of how much we love obsessive behavior here at WWWeird. Perhaps it's because our own lives are so out of control that we can't help but admire someone who has a tight reign on any aspect of theirs. This individual obsessively collects and scans his receipts. There are over 1,500 of them scanned in, documenting the events of a life, both grand and mundane. We're reminded of Terry Gilliam's film Brazil. 'Here's your receipt... and here's your receipt for your receipt.'
An Exquisite Clown

Here's a nifty little Flash toy for you. It's sort of a clown-based exquisite corpse ( If you don't know what an exquisite corpse is, your homework is to Gooooogle it ) . You can change the mouth, nose, eyes, ears, and hair. There are quite a few variations and they all go together seemlessly. We played with it for the better part of 20 minutes, but try as we might, we never able to generate a John Wayne Gacy Pogo the clown.
