September 10 Links
Sunday, 09.10.06 @ 12:05AM 
It is possible to spend all weekend doing nothing but reading the 9/11 tributes posted by the 2,996 project. D. Challener Roe has gone above and beyond the call of duty in putting this together. Did you ever think you could get 3,000 bloggers to agree on anything? You can find the blogs participating in the 2,996 project at this page. Ben and Noah are the youngest participants in the 2,996 project. You have to read Ben’s tribute, and Noah’s tribute. Also, D.C. Roe will be on BlogTalk Radio Monday evening at 7 to read some of the tributes. You can tune in live and call in, or listen to the show afterwards at your convenience. All the victims have been assigned to at least one blog, but you can still participate, since they are going through the list a second time. Signups are open til midnight tonight (September 10) at the 2,996 blog. But if you need a break from the heavy stories in the tributes, here are some of this week’s best links.

You always wanted to be an artist, but the problem is, you have no talent. Arbroath found a kit where you can make a portrait, or a funny face. Most of them would be funny.
When I grow up I want to be... yes, there really have been people who farted for a living. There are lots of websites on farts. And they said the internet would civilize the world.
I was doing an image search and cam eacross a site called Female Freedom, subtitled The Freedom to Pee Standing Up. What? Its in French, but the pictures are interesting.
The big philosophical questions we all want answered are: Is it Friday? Is it 5:30? What’s for supper? How many days til Christmas? Can spiders fart? The internet can help with some of these, but not all.
WHAT A NAME!
A man was walking down the street and he met a small boy. The man asked what was his name.
The boy replied, 'six and seven-eighths.'
The man asked him why his parents had given him such a strange name, and he replied, 'they just picked it out of a hat.'
Tijuana Flats has listed the 15 Hottest Sauces in the World. Some really imaginative names they have, too.
Super slow-motion videos of popcorn popping, and a wine glass breaking.
Here’s your cute kitten video fix for the week. (via Arbroath)
An amazing animation worthy of a stage show.
Identify whose poop that is with this handy Scat Identification Scarf, available in six lovely colors. (via Neatorama)
What Americans know. This is funny, but seriously, there are NINE Supreme Court justices, and I CAN tell you every state capitol in the US.
Egg Way is a pretty fun game once you figure it out. You are supposed to draw a path for the egg to fallinto the frying pan. You have to draw fast and hard (ooh!) to make it work. I broke a lot of eggs learning this.
The Top 20 Japanese Commercials is well worth a watch, if YouTube is up when you get there. The author was razzed for inaccuracy, because the they are not all Japanese. And some aren’t commercials. But I think you’ll enjoy them anyway.

The Sprinkle Brigade goes out and ... decorates poop. I didn’t know that until I saw the pictures, but I’ll go ahead and tell you. Go see their handiwork if you like. They’re supposedly opening a gift shop soon.

Here’s music video I’m including for no reason other than I liked it.
Thought for today: Tomorrow, which isn't even here yet, will never be the day after tomorrow again.
