The Talk.Origins Archive Post of the Month: November 1998:
Richard Harter critiques the book Fashionable Nonsense by Alan Sokal and Jean Bricmont.
"I get the impression that the relationship of French Literary Theorists and Science is much like the attempts of Westerners to assimilate Eastern religion. The ideas are partially absorbed and woefully misunderstood; the result is something strange and wonderful."

MC Hawking's Crib:
"Yo! This site is your ultimate resource for information about Stephen Hawking the gangsta rapper. While there are dozens of other sites on the web devoted to Stephen Hawking's scientific achievements, I am unaware of a single site (aside from this one) devoted to his career as a lyrical terrorist.

Hugh's Hacked WWII Posters:
"The altering of World War II home-front propaganda posters
first became very popular during the Iraq 'war.' It just seemed
like the right semiotic at the right time.
Here are some of mine.

Baltimore City Paper: Out of Africa (April 14 - April 20, 2004):
"For at least a year, crooks based mostly in West Africa have been taking advantage of an Internet-based telephone system known as Internet Protocol Relay, or IP Relay, meant for the deaf to use in order to speak to the nondeaf over the phone. Because IP Relay allows users to make free long-distance phone calls, the crooks cold-call businesses all day, every day."

Mexigogue:
"My cousin Shelly died this weekend. Weak. . . .. Kind of reminds you of the fragility of human existence and that we're all just temps here on this earth. This blog is dedicated to her. And I think if Shelly were with us today, she would want me to blog about pool!"

Kittens:
"Kittens, Part of Pete Bevin's web site"
Picture 3 is one I've seen a bunch of times, with horrible little trolly things following the kitten and the caption, "every time you masturbate, a kitten dies."
These originals are really enchanting.

Pac Manhattan
"Pac-Manhattan is a large-scale urban game that utilizes the New York City grid to recreate the 1980's video game sensation Pac-Man. This analog version of Pac-man is being developed in NYU's Interactive Telecommunications graduate program, in order to explore what happens when games are removed from their "little world" of tabletops, televisions and computers and placed in the larger "real world" of street corners, and cities.

"A player dressed as Pac-man will run around the Washington square park area of Manhattan while attempting to collect all of the virtual "dots" that run the length of the streets. Four players dressed as the ghosts Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde will attempt to catch Pac-man before all of the dots are collected.

"Using cell-phone contact, Wi-Fi internet connections, and custom software designed by the Pac-Manhattan team, Pac-man and the ghosts will be tracked from a central location and their progress will be broadcast over the internet for viewers from around the world."
