So many great and hilarious things have come our way over the past week. Lots of clips, courtesy of our good friend Neal, a few of which we're going to share with you below. On a somewhat serious note, however, your address may be available in google if someone searches on your phone number. This means the telemarketers who aren't allowed to call you anymore can come to the house and not even have the decency to bring donuts.
To test whether your phone number is mapped, CLICK HERE!
Type your phone number in the search bar with dashes (i.e. 555-555-1212) and hit enter.
If you want to BLOCK Google from divulging your private information, simply click on the telephone icon next to your phone number and follow instructions. Removing your name takes 48-hours. If you are unlisted in the phone book, you might not be in there, but it is a good idea just to check.
On to the newsletter. Enjoy!
Regards,
Mike Corso

Cool Picks of the Web
=====================================
More Cool Stuff than you can throw a brick at.
"Pinky goes INSANE!"
Brace yourself. This one sounds and looks painful.
"Chris goes boom!"
This could be the funniest thing I have ever seen. Also painful, but not quite as bad.
"Bark From Above!"
The latest in chemical warfare... dog poop from 1500 feet!
"Hostility is bad for you, you SON OF A @*#&@!!!"
Amazing what these scienticians can find out!
The Amish ROCK!
"Apparently the Amish get very funky after age 16..."
Reduced Fat
Flash animation done well!
=====================================
More Google Hijinks...
=====================================
You may have seen this already, but just in case... The Google people are being funny...try this soon, before Google changes it:
1) Go to Google.com
2) Type in (but don't hit return): "weapons of mass destruction" (dont forget the "")
3) Hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button, instead of the normal "Google search" button
4) READ what appears to be a normal error message CAREFULLY
=====================================
Strange Things I Found on eBay
=====================================
Folks sell all kind of strange stuff. For example:
"LEGALLY DESTORY ANYONE WITH THIS CD! NO S/H!"
Not so much strange as I like the tag line. Does it mean "No shipping & handling" or "No sh*t??" By the way, we in no way endorse this product. In fact, I am going to go so far as say "Don't buy it." I am sure it is bulls/h.

One of our featured sites recently wrote to thank us for the feature. I wrote back and said I was glad it worked out for him. This was his response:
"Greg - let's put it this way - it pays for itself. Not only did we get several questions regarding our cell phone features, but we got several online sites interested in advertising on our site. In fact, we received about 6 such emails yesterday. The point is we expanded our audience through you site, and now we have a backlog of advertisers. It does not get any better than that! Thanks again for choosing us, and you can use our statement as a testimonial if you like."

Cool Sites
=====================================
Webstrider.com (CSotD Oct 18, 2003)
www.webstrider.com/
Remember the good old days when web directories were actually useful? Here's a primo example of some new blood keeping the faith!
AmusingFacts.com (CSotD Oct 14, 2003)
www.amusingfacts.com/
I never get tired of the interesting tidbits on sites like this. For example: "27% of female lottery winners hid their winning ticket in their bra."
ILoveCarnivorousPlants.com (CSotD Oct 04, 2003)
www.ilovecarnivorous-plants.com/
I don't know what is weirder. That there are this many carnivorous plants out there or that someone actually bought this domain...
Of Mind And Matter (CSotD Sep 16, 2003)
library.thinkquest.org/TQ0312238/cgi-bin/view.cgi
The mystery of the human brain. Thinkquest strikes again!
A lot of web sites don't last more than a year or two. Here's a
classic Cool Site of the Day pick that is still hanging on to
life. You GO, nerdlinger!
