Whatever happened to bunny bernd?
www.krohm.net/bernd.htm
Long time readers of WWWeird ( both of you ) may recall that a few months ago we brought you the saga of Bernd, a very cute, floppy-eared bunny that was due to be New Year's dinner if 1,000,000 euros were not deposited to his owners bank account by Dec. 31. So what happened to Bernd? He's been given a reprieve. There is a new deadline of March 27 or he'll be Easter dinner. The site now includes a Bernd CafePress store to help divest you of your money. Get the feeling this deadline might just keep slipping? So do we, but we'll keep checking back.

So what happens when you press the Big Orange Button? Lotsa different stuff. Some of it's funny. Some of it's odd. Some of it's stupid.
We clicked for about 5 minutes before something shiny in the corner of the room caught our attention. Each time the result was different. In any case it's waaaay more entertaining than the Really Big Button That Doesn't Do Anything ( www.pixelscapes.com/spatulacity/button.htm ) .

Bet you didn't know you needed this. OK, you don't. This may, in fact, be one of the stupidest utensils ever created.
So of course we bought a dozen of them to give to bewildered party hosts as gifts next holiday season. We suggest you do the same. Hey, it's better than giving them Macho Stix.

Please God tell me no one has actually sent this man money to do this. The latest digital techniques?!? This is Photoshop 101. Cripes, the composites are cheesy and he didn't even fix the green eye ( the pet version of red eye ) on the kitty in his example. And yes, I'm bitter I didn't think of it first.
