A collection of stories, feats, and events that the site’s proprietor(s) have reason to believe are fradulent. (Warning: could be little disappointing for you. I, for example, loved that street soccer video mentioned on the first page, mainly because I had no idea how the kids involved had gotten so skilled. I’d never even considered that it was fake. Now I’m thinking it probably is.)

Interesting, of course, from a film studies perspective but also from a graphic design perspective. For example, you can physically see the industry shift from using primarily illustration to using primarily photography (happened around 1980).

A site dedicated to the exploration and explanation of all things “manly.” Some of the articles are, as you might expect, based on the over-the-top stereotype of what it is to be a man and quite silly, but there’s actually a great deal of serious advice here too.

Simple concept. Perfect sound effects. High potental of ending up in a desperate situation. Great game.

I’ve only heard half of these records before, and I only own three of them. Does this mean I have to surrender my thick-rimmed glasses? (Incidentally, I would add Neutral Milk Hotel’s Aeroplane Over the Sea to this list as #11 and My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless as #12.)

“…a competitive sport created by steven schkolne in which contestants race to unravel a bundle of wires.” For real.

Ok, I haven’t seen all of these, but I’ve got to think those first two scenes from The Shining and the one from The Ring should be ranked higher. Also a scene from What Lies Beneath deserves a place on here somewhere. That movie was too frightening not to be on this list.

A template for making a pinhole camera from a few sheets of cardstock. The images from the gallery prove it really works! This site has an impressive collection of online pinhole resources too, including a link to PinholeCalc, a free app someone has written for determining proper exposure length.

Answer a series of agree/disagree questions and this site will tell you which of the remaining candidates is most closely aligned with you on the issues.
