POPS12 Hilarious Tombstones
Another list from Oddee.com. The people who put this site together have a definite eye for the strange and unusual... Obviously, there should be some Rules about Dying: 1. If you know you are dying and have a name that will cause people to laugh and have their pics taken with your stone, change your name! 2. If you have a Wife AND a Mistress, make sure there is no way they will ever be able to pay you back. 3. Leaving A Funny Epitaph is good, leaving a tombstone that will label you DUMBASS is not so good. 4. If you want to leave a in a hilarious, yet tragic death: go for the hilarious. You will be remembered longer and liked more. 5. If you really want to stand out as a memorable person in the memorial sort of way, hire a poet to write a fitting epitaph and then die in the way specified.. 6. Most of all, remember this: Paybacks are a B*TCH, So treat your heirs or at least the person who will arrange for your final monument well, if not YOU too, can have a marker like the

POPSPenny Postcards Tired of E-Cards??? Want to try something different for once? I found this site looking for a card for a dear friend's birthday the other day. I had to come back today to share it with all of you. It is fresh and funny and anything over a hundred years old that they can get their paws on you can find. Tagged and categorized, I do not think you can go wrong... and what was naughty 100+ years ago would not raise an eyebrow today... Oh, and monkeys are VERY BIG here! Fair warning.

POPSEarth as Art Gallery I have only one thing to say about this site: AWESOME! Not in the surfer use either. Truly, an experience leaving you catching your breath.

POPSWeird Hotels The author of Weirdomatic.com may think they are weird but I LOVE THEM! OK, all but the Coffins in Japan. I read too many cyberpunk novels in the 80s! The Mayan Pyramid is only in the planning stages but it is due to open in 2010... My favorite without a doubt is the Beckham Canyon Cavern Hotel...

POPSHorror.net Horror Search And Directory Categories Do you prefer searching the web or browsing through directories? I like a little of both and I tell you what burns my butt every time is when a link is broke and the damn engine or directory just lets it slide. i don't have time to check out every link but i will say this: You will not find a more complete Horror Directory than here or on it's sister site, Horror:Search and Destroy... As for the black cuts, well the letters were white on black background so I will copy and paste those cuts in here: Horror.net Horror Search And Directory Categories Horror is the feeling of revulsion that usually occurs after something frightening is seen, heard, or otherwise experienced. It is the feeling one gets after coming to an awful realization or experiencing a hideous revelation. Horror has also been defined as a combination of terror and revulsion. We are horror... we are horror.net.

POPSWhere Does He Get All These Wondeful Steampunk Toys?? I admit to being rather fond (actually, enamored) with the entire Steampunk Genre. I am a fan of many of the stylings that have come from one pop culture type to another... Junk stores are doing booming business these days as people hit them up for old brass fittings, watches, horns and other things to modify and adapt. We went through a similar phase with Star Wars and other Sci-Fi things in the 70a and they returned in the last decade. Super Heroes were big merchandise money makers during the WW II years, the mid 60s, and then again the late 80s with the birth of the Batman craze following the campy antics of the 60s and the dark, Gothic feel of the movie series. Super Heroes came back in a big way with X-Men. This is what I have always heard that popular culture repeats itself every generation or so... Hold on to those Slinkys, Hula Hoops, and Slip n' Slide: we may be in for a wild ride again!

POPSCracked Magazine's 25 Historical Events (As Depicted by 5 Year Olds) OK, I am dating myself here but I remember Cracked Magazine as well as Mad, Crazy, Car-toons, and Plop from when I was a kid. Eventually all that was left on the magazine racks were Mad. I never even thought they may have switched to an online E-Zine or that they would be open to subscriber participation! Personally, I always thought Cracked was better than Mad any day!

POPSBrian Dettmer: Book Autopsies Finding this site was sheer chance. I tried to get as much of his artwork from the two main sites as I could and I think we have a very nice presentation of his work. More personal details of the artist and how he does such beautiful work are at the end of the clip... Enjoy. I did.

POPSDynamic Optical Illusions WOW!!! This is a great site with optical illusions that will make you doubt your own eyes... and all these came from the free page. The "more complex" illusions are advertised beyond a $3 Paypal donation... I liked this well enough to just imagine what was behind the Money Door!

POPSThe Thing in a Jar!!! This is right up my alley. When I worked in FX, we'd make "things" all the time. Usually we would put it in a place where our poor victim would either have it touch him or confront him in an unexpected manner. I want to point out that NO ONE was ever hurt by these pranks, at least, NOT the pranks I was in on. Safety is extremely important as well as knowing when the Mark has had enough and knowing not to take a prank farther than a certain limit. I DO NOT ADVISE ANYONE TO PULL ANY MALICIOUS PRANKS AND NEVER TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS!

POPSThe Last Supper??? Stumbled Upon this blog site and loved the reworking of Da Vinci's Magnum Opus. No disrespect to anyone but look at it in the light of Pop Culture as many of the various artists did. Da Vinci (and other Artists of the Renaissance) were painting the Pop Culture of their day when there was an Inquisition or three going on, the Protestant Reformation, the Age of Exploration and the Enlightenment... OK, Popeye is no Christ but it is interesting, n'est ce pas?

POPS24 Unforgettable Advertisements Just another set of weirdness that we human beings do to get attention. Marked Mature for the PETA ad as I will err on the side of caution... The Giant Prop ads remind me of the old TV shows and the movies of the 30s and 40s where they were very common... My favorite? The Mini Cooper ad... Priceless!

POPSLearning about Forensics Part I Elyse's Site is a good general review of forensics and the application of the science in all it's myriad forms. This part was clipped as a basic primer on the different branches. Part II (Yes, another Multi-part Clip!) will focus on the different applications of the science and some very good links to high-end Forensic sites. The Site owner definitely loves CSI and you will see that if you go there...

POPSArthur C. Clarke's Alien Monolith I do not claim the veracity of this story... I always repeat my Mantra: "I am a Collector of Curiosities..." Well, this struck me as few things could as definitively Curious. If anyone has seen hard evidence (like NASA site photos) then let me know right now I will say it is interesting..

POPSRue Morgue: Horror Writer's Dream Rue Morgue is the last magazine that is in hard copy being printed today in the US. Their e-zine sight is ok but it holds nothing to the mag itself. To get your short fiction published here as a horror writer is a very wonderful occasion... One I hope to jave again one day!

POPSSo, you want to be a Werewolf? Part V I added some of the beautiful Artwork from the site to fill out this smaller section. Yes I know I am always doing multi-part clips but I think this is worth it! :) :D :)

POPSThe Web's Greatest Links Page Part II (Weblogs) I am still getting used to make links work or not on the clipper so if there is any confusion it is on my part. I wanted to add the disclaimer on the end as I have not had the slightest bit of time to examine even a tenth of what I clipped. Some may bee dead links and some may be a lot better if they were dead links. Proceed with your own caution.

POPSThe Web's Greatest Links Page Part I (Websites) I saw someone just post the name and the url but none of the sites that it links to, I thought I could do it a little more justice. These are not even a miniscule accounting of the Websites that this page links to. Truly something for everybody. The second part is web blogs...
