Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

Frijj
Hmmmm. Frijj-ey goodness. Although the girl is creepy as hell.
Self Storage
Visiting gran.
Tutles
Not for the faint hearted. And the title of the article 'Terrifying sex organs of male turtles' isn't far wrong.
Cat Wear
I have never understood why people insist upon dressing pets (especially cats) up in outfits. LEt alone those who paint their dogs nails.
Translucent Creatures
Freaky translucent creatures.
Western Spaghetti
A very cool stop motion film.
Gin and Titonic
Presumably nigh on 100 years ago these ice cubes. wouldn't have gone down that well. Pun intended.
Windows Music
Music using ONLY sounds from Windows XP and 98! And I thought I had a lot of time on my hands.
Photoshop Disasters
I'll link to this page showing a particularly witchy Christina Aguilera seeing as the current main page isn't that SFW.
Odd Costumes
Rather odd. The Peculiar Sci-fi Costumes of Dave T. Smith.
Rainham Sheds
Its Rainham Sheds...
Ukulele Orchestra of GB - Shaft
The Ukulele Orchestra of GB performing Shaft.
JL Rape Quiz
The "John Leslie Rape Quiz" How would you score? I am not sure whats funnier, the photo or the comments below.
Octopus Eats Shark
Hmmm. I think if 3ft long shark carcass' appeared several days after a shark vanished, I would have a pretty good idea what was happening.
White Tiger Cubs
Some very cute white tiger cubs.
Darth Thriller
Darth Thriller
Mario Theme
The Mario theme played using bottles and an RC car..

First there was Google Earth now Microsoft have launched Worldwide Telescope for space.
Mureal

An animated mural on a building.

The Hulk
A Hulk spoof on Kimmel with Ed Norton.
Guitar Spin
I presume guitar spins only work with wireless, battery powered guitars. Saying that, they presumably work with wired guitars, just with an ever so slight increase in the risk of strangulation.
The Front Fell Off
Indeed, the fell off.
Animal Robots

A robot in child's toys clothing.

Supernova

Images from a supernova 325m years ago.

Will Ferrell as George Duba

Not normally a fan of Will Ferrell, but a pop at George Duba is probably worth mentioning.

Elmer Fudd Google

A Elmer Fudd edition of Google.

YouTube Roundup

Some of the YouTube links that have arrived in my mailbox over the last couple of weeks. The Italian Spiderman. A couple of Americans driving their Horse round feeding it cheeseburgers - ok I can just about believe a horse is happy sitting in a car, but eating cheeseburgers!?!?! A trailer for The Foot Fist Way. Shia LaBeouf displays the range of his verbal acting, the Pork and Beans video by Weezer. Possibly the coolest game of Snake, played on the side of a building. Mousetrap-esque Creme that Egg. Guys backflipping into jeans. A Korean Toilet commercial - I would be scared in case I leant on one of the buttons. Burger, the Pscho cat. Finally, not that I have been watching Britain's Got Talent but this was very good.

Rolling Fields

Rolling fields as far as the eye can see. Just upwards. I am sure I remember something like this from an Usborne book or something...

Start Digging

Imagine your disapointment if you dug through to the otherside of the world to find yourself at the bottom of the Pacific which quickly drained (anti-clockwise) through and flooded your garden... surrounding neighbourhood etc.. Luckily, this will help you plot a route.

Land of Food

Rocket Songs
Admittedly some are good, but If I were trapped on the ISS with just these 10 songs I would seriously consider standing in an airlock sans suit.
Sex and the City / Matrix
From the MTV movie awards, Sex and the City / Matrix
Awesome
Truly awesome.
Garfield

You wouldn't have thought it, but Garfield minus Garfield is as funny if not sometimes funnier than the original as we see Jon Arbuckle in a comic about 'schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life?'

Hover Chair
Oooh, a hover chair.
Sleeveface

Sleeveface.

Death Star Canteen
Eddie Izzard's 'Death Star Canteen' sketch set to Lego.
Amazon Reviews
A while ago I was sent this link to a review of bic pen on Amazon. I couldn't decide if it was a piss take or not. IF I was in any doubt, the person in question has a lot of similar reviews.
Lifehacker Roundup
Lifehacker-y goodness:
Greenest House
The first LEED Platinum Carbon Neutral Building with the included line 'greenest building ever built, with zero footprint...'. Nailing that to the flagpole is bound to get people talking. Read some of the comments and whilst you get the humouress are perhaps more interesting - 'I believe a tee-pee is the greenest building ever built', there are some very valid points, especially Steve's.
HDTV Moon
Japanses HDTV video of the moon.
Busted
If you take the odd day off work and keep it low key, I suspect you have a better chance of getting away with it than, oh lets see, posting your halloween pics on facebook. And the boss is right. It is a nice wand.
