Cool Sites

EugeneMirman.com (CSoTD Jun 06, 2002)
I saw Eugene on the Conan O'Brien show (or was it Letterman?) a few weeks ago, which reminded me of his hilarious site. Kind of creepy, very funny. One of my faves...
Asinine Poetry (CSoTD Feb 19, 2003)
The journal of asinine poetry features silly, salacious, and insane poems and parodies that would disgust any English professor worth his salary. They are our Cool Site of the Month winners for February 2003!
The Easter Egg Archive (CSoTD Dec 27, 2002)
The term "Easter Egg", as we use it here, means any amusing tidbit that creators hid in their creations. They could be in computer software, movies, music, art, books, or even your watch. There are thousands of them, and they can be quite entertaining, if you know where to look.
Billy Bob Teeth (CSoTD May 08, 1999)
Just look! A retail store like no other...
Dawin Awards (CSoTD Oct 11, 1999)
One of our Cool Site of the Year Winners! The Darwin Awards honor those who improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it. They commemorate the actions of men and women who gave their all, in an effort to improve the human species. Of necessity, the honor is usually bestowed posthumously.
Broken Saints (CSoTD Jun 04, 2001)
A 24 Chapter mature graphic novel in Flash. Original artwork, award-winning music, haunting prose and cutting-edge effects fuse together to form the best storytelling experience on the Web. One of my favorite Cool Sites of all time...
Dumbentia (CSoTD Jan 21, 2000)
Hilarious product parodies and a general showcase of humor that is slipping out of one lunatic's mind. A lot of web sites don't last more than a year or two. Here are some classic Cool Site of the Day picks that are still hanging on to life:
Find The Spam! (CSoTD Nov 05, 1994)
One of the most challenging online games of all time.
Oceania: The Atlantis Project (CSoTD Nov 28, 1994)
The Atlantis Project, which proposed the creation of a floating sea city named Oceania, began in February '93, receiving nationwide publicity from The Art Bell Show, Details Magazine, The Miami Herald, Boating Magazine, and worldwide publicity in Canada, New Zealand, Hong Kong, England, and Belgium. The project ended due to lack of interest in April of 1994.
