Back in November last year (2007), Greenpeace decided to hold an online poll to decide on a name for a Humpback whale as promotion for their campaign to save a bunch of whales from being killed.

Some of the top names included Aiko, Libertad, Mira, Kaimana, Aurora, Shanti, Amal and Manami, but they only got one percent of the vote each. 2nd place went to Humphrey with 3%. But the winner, with over 78% of the votes, and proof of the incredible power of the internet to do very silly things, was Mr Spashy Pants.

Look at these soldiers who love my website! They don’t really of course - I made this wacky picture at

www.funonit.com

You choose your text and then choose which photo you want it on, its very quick and easy.

I found the site through clazh.com, where they list another 15 crazy and cool photo and video websites - Have a look here: http://www.clazh.com/15-crazy-and-cool-photo-and-video-websites/. That should keep you entertained for a while!

I’m nearly 40, so this has a particular resonance with me. You may be not nearly 40 but if you’re in any way a fan of the original Star Wars movie you should find this funny. If you don’t find it funny then god help you, and god help us all.

I don’t know who Ian Cooper is, where he’s from or what he does, apart from the knowledge I’ve gleaned from something called uncyclopedia.org.

This appears to be a wiki site, along the lines of wikipedia, where anyone can contribute content; scandalous, libelous or otherwise scurrilous information about, well, anything at all it seems.

This means that you could pop along there and pour bile on any object of your disaffection. I suppose as long as they’re not famous no-one will argue.

Today’s Link is a very well written article about someone called Ian Cooper, and why he is a cunt.

<<< Cleek for a peek

The International Space Station or ISS, or as its otherwise known The Human Space Flight or HSF, is constantly on the move, spinning and rotating above our heads like a benign metal satellite.

Click today’s link and you can see where it is right now. As an added bonus the graphic can even let you know whether or not its presently night-time where you are.

I know, its not mad, crazy or daft; But it is kind of cool. And also geekish - Woo-Hoo, a new category for a new year!
