If you have a little room on your credit card, you may wish to consider Victoria’s Secret’s suggestion for a holiday gift. At $US10Million, you may wish to read the washing instructions very carefully.

It’s kind of hard to explain the appeal of Homestarrunner.com, so I’m glad Washington Square News decided to do the job instead.
It’s probably worth noting that the only people who understand this site in this family are David, Caleb and Charlotte. Ainslie and Allanah just don’t get it.

The search for The World’s Funniest Joke is finished, and has turned up some interesting differences between what different nations find funny. I refuse to believe the Stick Joke is unfunny.

Mark it in your diaries: September 19 is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Arrr.
