More fun from b3ta.com

Brian Micklethwait (London) How very odd!

(2)

One of my two favourite when-I-want-something-stupid websites, b3ta.com, links to this page of mailboxes, of which this one will undoubtedly be the favourite here. In England this would be forbidden, because it would be a replica gun:

The caption at the bottom of this picture says: ONLY IN TEXAS.

They also link to this, another for our triumphs of capitalism series, a machine for instantaneously peeling hard boiled eggs. This is a truly amazing machine. It is as if the hen is laying the eggs ready peeled. Although maybe that would be rather a bad idea, so forget that please.

Earlier in the week they linked to a fine piece of erotic dancing. Americans who worship our Tony, do not click here.

My other favourite mad stuff website is of course this one. Are there other such places I could visit for similar internet fun? Surely there are. Commenters, educate me.

I am confused by your comment about Americans who love Tony should not click his dance-capade. It did not appear insulting, just silly. Have things gotten so bad that a funny joke such as this is "beyond the pale"?

Who said anything about that daft Blair thing being "beyond the pale"? Sometimes I wonder if people actually read the articles before commenting.

Creepy, but fun.

The eggstractor is indeed a marvel. I thank providence that I live to see it.

With some slight modification, and a length of 1.5 inch garden pipe, It'll shoot that egg 70 yards.

I only mention this in case you brits ever need to improvise a weapon.

Damn, I'd bet that thing recoils like a bitch...
