Link Thread
 

In the interest of keeping the other threads tubelike, I have created this thread to serve as a dump truck. Post funny links here rather than starting new threads for them. By doing so, you will resist the temptation to make link posts in your blog instead, which is a good way to post frequently but a bad way to post memorably.

FIRST!

And second. This is so wrong.

Okay, how about Strange Candy?

http://www.strangecandy.net/

A must-read webcomic for any fan of the cultural benefits we've recieved from Japan.

Or the Standard Galactic Alphabet?

I even input the word "fiver" in there so you can all see how a Vorticon would spell it.

You can do anything you want at ZOMBO COM!

:D :D :D :D

Uh, does that website have some weird hyperlink that I'm just not finding?

Dude. You can do ANYTHING at Zombo COM.

Okay, I found the site, but I'm still lost.
(Maybe you should try Harry Krisna)
Who said that? :)

Google it, Nate. Zombo's been around for a while.

Yeah, I must not be hitting the magic keys, because I'm not seeing anything that amazing. Let's move on, shall we?

Is it possible...

Do we have...

a Sanite in our midst?

More like a contrarian.

He'll probably disagree.

The Impossible Quiz: be prepared to waste several hours. Whoever originally gave me this link must die.

I have to thank you once again for including my goat-people quote in your sig. It makes me smile every time.

Hey Nate, do you remember the Strange Candy reference I once made at this site?

Not before you die for passing it on. Fortunately, the MegaMan Battle Network games have given me good practice with quizzes that pointlessly force you to start over again and again.

Seriously, while it's very annoying, it's also just the kind of humour I like. It reminds me of the classic adventure games like Space Quest. (In fact, the same method of solution is applicable: you can eventually win by trying every possible click.)

Mathematicians and geeks in general love this sort of trickery, so I've been making good speed through the questions. Do you know how many there are? I'm calling it quits for tonight at 63 or so.

(Two points for anyone else trying the quiz. One, a little knowledge of 4chan running jokes will serve you well. Two, don't try to cheat with Tab. The game boots you if you do, sorta like how adventure games would punish you for swearing into the interpreter or using information your character doesn't have yet.)

Only 63? Quitter!
Oh, and there is 110. I know this because I cheated, and looked it up. By the way, DON'T USE ANY SKIPS! You need them all to pass the last question.

Merely trying trial and error won't work forever, either. This I know from experience (stupid horseshoes).

Bob the Angry Flower does Star Control

Bob the Angry Flower does... The Internet

:D

*stares blankly*

Um, yeah...

*backs away slowly*

I particularly like their candy sushi. Pity they only ship in the USA.

That is hilarious. I love Star Control. I'm glad Bob the Angry Flower does too.

I don't know if this has ever been pointed out here, but there's a guy who essentially does five-minute video parodies of Yu-gi-oh that he calls Yu-gi-oh the Abridged Series. I've never read or watched or whatevered Yugioh, but I've found these to be hilarious.

Has anyone else seen the (various) 404 page(s) for livejournal? They're quite good for wasting about 2 minutes...

The Surrealist I found after the dungeon fad on LJ. It's good for wasting time.

I particularly like This

:D

I concur on Yu-gi-oh: The Abridged Series. Thanks for the download link, as well, I thought they were just on Youtube. Oh, and I HAVE seen Yu-gi-oh (boy, have I ever...), and I've played the card game (ditto), and they are even funnier when you get the references.

Z, for all I know you made a reference and I tracked down the link. Or whatever. When you're online everything starts to blur together. That doesn't dispute the fact that it's a great webcomic.

Is the goat-people thing from Strange Candy? I did searches on Yahoo and Google, and basically when you enter "turns into goat people," it spits back all of the signatures from this forum and nothing else.

Best 404 page ever:

http://www.acm.uiuc.edu/errors/404.html

The chronicles of Chad Vader are surprisingly funny.

I'm (not) going to assume everyone has seen the PG-rated cut of 300.

The LJ Dungeon is quite entertaining!

You have died in the Dungeon of Commodore Zeke!
I killed Gatac and Nahtmmm, but I was killed in a cold laboratory by Catalina Marina the cockatrice. Amongst many things I had a Sword of Megaman, and a figurine of AKA Arzosah.

Urban Dictionary, of course, is an indispensable resource. It has taught me such perfectly Zeke-descriptive terms as "email paralysis" and "spockmate." But if I'd had any doubts about the value of the site, they were erased today. I looked up "stupid," "lucky," "fraud," and "homer" -- and in each case, someone had submitted the definitions shown in the classic Simpsons episode "Homer Defined." For instance:

<b>fraud</b>
(n) 1. Imposter.
2. Fake.
3. Homer Simpson.

You have to page way back for the "stupid" one, but it's there. I love the internet.

No kidding! That idea turned out way funnier than I expected.

Arsozah? You linked the impossible quiz. I hate you now.

It's nice to be popular.

In case no one's seen it yet: Phoenix Wrong

Sprites + random audio = win.

Now remember kids, each entry has its rating beside the WATCH THIS MOVIE link, so if you're not supposed to watch it and do anyway, it's not my fault.

You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square --
But when a crime's discovered, then <i><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=447527&in_page_id=1770&in_ page_id=1770&expand=true">Macavity's not there!</a></i>

Mark my words: this business of cats riding buses is not going to end well. They're one opposable digit from doing away with us completely.

That cat's gonna stop eventually. You know why?

Tourists. People'll start riding that bus just to see the kitty cat and they'll be constantly snapping the cat with the flash, and the cat'll be all, "Screw it, I can walk 400 metres without being blinded every five seconds," only to be run over by one of those girls who keeps a dog in a purse.

What's more: they've known it all along.

Cats were once worshippded as gods. They have never forgotten this.

Its only a matter of time before they downsize us all.

...so, when the cats take over, do you reckon they'll need a translator? If so, my survival is assured.

Not everyone who wants a hammer is planning to use it on Trip.

I wasted more than an hour just sitting and watching those. I think the line that cracked me up the most was "It's like something out of H.P. Lovecraft, only gay!"

The cats have already taken over, you poor foolish fools. Only now, at the end, do you begin to understand.

^ As I already pointed out above -- we are still here only because we amuse them.

Well, yeah, there's the whole can-opener business, obviously, but...

Heh heh. :D

In case anyone hasn't read the 'Random Fiver' thread: http://www.webpages.ttu.edu/jonray/r...andomfiver.php

Ever wondered how a nuclear chain reaction works? It's actually not that much like Boomshine, but Boomshine is equally cool.
