Greetings,

The video game "Place to Pee" was unveiled at a beer festival in
Arendonk, Belgium. It gives dudes the opportunity to put that stream to
good use, directing a skier downhill or a rocket in space. Finally,
there is another family-friendly urination-based activity beyond
spelling one's name in yellow snow. Sorry ladies, biology strikes again.

|> Numbers game <|
Math. For some, it's nothing but numbers and endless frustration. For
others, it's a universal language. And for a few gifted individuals,
math is a reason to sing. This clever, nerdy, three-minute derivative of
a classic Gloria Gaynor song is guaranteed to entertain both math
enthusiasts and math phobics - plus remind you what to do the next time
you're taking one of those standardized tests.

|> Ugly Dogs 2008 <|
Daytime TV producers and magazine photographers -- get your asses to
California for this year's World's Ugliest Dog competition. There's gold
in them thar dogs.

If Transformers had really wanted to blend in, they would have been a
little smarter about it.

|> Mean business <|
Business cards are normally a bit of a white elephant -- useful only for
bulking out your wallet and possibly thereby save your life by stopping
a bullet. But this is an excellent collection of cards that you'd be
pleased to get, from little construction models to tiny gardens for you
to tend.
