Heehee, I can see they have seen The future is Wild too!

Elanor · 09-18-2005, 01:15 AM

That's great.

Try this one: www.dhmo.org

It's a little more ... subtle, but just as ridiculous. If you don't get it (I didn't the first time I saw it), write out the chemical formula of the "hazardous chemical" they're warning people about.

I'll post something later, when I have the brainpower to even decide whether it sounds true or not. It sounds funny...It is on the internet...

What's all that about water? I never thought H2O was a big problem. And why don't they ever say it's water?

Because they're... oh wait, you were joking too. (You had me going there for a second!

)

That tree octopus one is really funny.

Um, Nurv, I wasn't joking.

**Nurvingiel** · 09-19-2005, 12:26 AM

Oh. Heh, sorry.

All the websites mentioned in this thread are spoofs.

I'm sure there are. I saw something like that a few months ago...Of course it was one where I didn't keep the URL.

Elanor · 09-19-2005, 09:09 PM

LOL weird people...

Elanor · 09-19-2005, 09:23 PM

Okay, I found a pretty good source for these things: http://zapatopi.net/

trolls' bane · 09-19-2005, 09:39 PM

Good ones!! Can't beat that metric time one.

Elanor · 09-19-2005, 09:46 PM

I prefer the theory that Belgium doesn't exist, myself.

trolls' bane · 09-19-2005, 09:55 PM

Lol! :d

Hey, you stole that one from me!

(check the source of my first link

)

Elanor · 09-19-2005, 10:46 PM

! I didn't realize it was the same site! sorry

Curubethion · 09-19-2005, 10:47 PM

That's okay...I never saw zapatopi.net myself...I was too idiotic to find the homepage

Oh, man. An octopus with shoes. I wish I'd thought of that.

Forgive me; I've been roaming the internet for the past few hours and much of my brain has been melted:

That first link reminds me of my friend's idea for a new bumper sticker. It would be shaped like one of those magnets sold for a cause like cancer research or benifits to POWs, but it would be a neutral beige and say simply "I don't give a sh*t." It made me laugh real hard at first, because I was tired of how trendy those bumper stickers had become, but then I realized that it just might outsell the worthiest magnets, we've got that much lack of respect.

Whenever my dad visit's my aunt's marina, he tells the tourists to "watch out for them water-bears!"

I love that.
