Description

There are 162,042,117,562 websites on the internet. Of these 161,983,424,031 can certainly be considered strange. But there are far fewer that are truly weird and even fewer that are what-on-earth-is-that-all-about-weird. This book brings together the weirdest of these weird sites for your amusement. When visiting the sites you will meet some rich, ugly people who desperately want to marry you, you will have the opportunity to join 'The Interplanetary Society for the Hard of Thinking' and you will be shown how to send a plague of wasps to 'destroy' those websites that you hate. So, power up that old cathode-ray tube and get surfing!This book features the following information given for each entry: site name, category, weirdness factor (ranging from one to five gremlins depending on the extent of the site's weirdness), website address, and comment.

SITES THAT DIDN'T QUITE MAKE THE HIT LIST…
Introduction

As I write, there are 162,042,117,562 websites on the internet. Of these sites, 161,983,424,031 can certainly be considered to be strange. But there are far fewer that are truly weird and even fewer that are what-on-earth-is-that-all-about-weird. This little book brings together the weirdest of these weird sites for your amusement. When visiting the sites you will meet some rich, ugly people who desperately want to marry you, you will have the opportunity to join The Interplanetary Society for the Hard of Thinking and you will be shown how to send a plague of wasps to 'destroy' the websites that you hate. So, power up that old cathode-ray tube and get surfing!
Notes

Due to the constant use of the letter 'w' every time someone types a website name into their browser, there is now a worldwide shortage of 'w's. Because of this we have not included the 'www' at the start of the websites listed in this book. Most of the time you can reach a site without the 'www.' but if a site doesn't load, try adding 'www.' to the start of the website name.

At the moment none of the sites listed contain pornographic material, though some may contain mild nudity and/or slightly bad language. However, websites do change over time so, as always on the internet, surf with caution. Please note also that specific examples mentioned for sites may well have been updated by the time you view them, but the weirdness factor of the site will doubtless remain!

Site Name alMost Haunted Category Spooky Things Weirdness Website ghost-pictures.org

If you've never believed in ghosts before you will probably want to change your mind after visiting this bizarre site. It apparently features genuine, scientifically proven photos including a "Retrospective haunting, where the ghost of Elvis Presley travelled into the past, to serenade Neil Armstrong as he landed on the moon." Closer to home in the UK, there are a number of photos of the nudist ghost colony that haunts Glasgow Necropolis. Also look out for the ghost of Marilyn Monroe singing Happy Birthday for Bill Clinton…


Site Name Marry an Ugly Millionaire Category Lovey Dovey Stuff Weirdness Website marry-an-ugly-millionaire-online-dating-agency.com

Having trouble finding Mr or Mrs Right? Always in debt? Massive overdraft? Solve all your problems by marrying an ugly millionaire. Lord Smythe-Smythe may be to your liking. He's worth £22m and says, "Life would not be complete without a morning ride on Old Ben." (One should explain that when one talks about Old Ben one means one's favourite horse and not one's Head Gardener, who is also called Old Ben. Though, to honest, Old Ben is a very good snogger; the gardener, not the horse.)


Site Name Net Disaster Category Crazed Fun Weirdness Website netdisaster.com

Pissed off with Google? Fed up with Yahoo? Destroy them! That's right! With Net Disaster you can take a chain saw to any site and just obliterate it completely. Or why not let loose a nasty swarm of wasps or a group of dinosaurs to do the annihilation? This incredibly innovative site will provide hours of destructive fun. It's just a pity it can't really harm those annoying sites!


Site Name notMENSA Category Intellectual Weirdness Website not-mensa.com

This is great; the website for The Interplanetary Society for the Hard of Thinking.

To quote the site, "Congratulations you have somehow managed to navigate through the cluttered internet and found our site.
