I got a note that said:

I tried to bookmark a link from your site-- and I CAN'T. Why do you have it set up so that whenever we click on a link, it only shows your address in the address bar?? I really liked the  Seven Deadly Sinners site, and tried to bookmark it, but instead your address showed up when i clicked "bookmark this." I'm sure the people you're linking to don't appreciate that your site is set up like this.

This is the second person who has had this happen. So I did some experimenting.  She must have been using the URL http://misscellania.com, because when I tried it, that URL stayed in the address bar! Weird. I will contact support about it. But meanwhile, always use the URL http://www.misscellania.com with the www, because thats what I use, and each page and post gets its own URL that way. And the links work. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I also checked  loading speed at SEO, and the URL with the www loads much faster. You can check yours, too!

Can you handle another cute baby panda video?

Pepsi Girl is back! I was disappointed when this was pulled from YouTube, but the original host has been located.

Die-Cast is a homemade action sequence between some kind of law enforcment team and an evil robot. They didn’t use any expensive costumes or props, but it does have special effects. C00l!

Proof positive of the Benny Hill effect: You can make anything funny if you speed up the video and put “Yakety Sax” in the soundtrack. Here are some examples, ranging from American Psycho to Napolean Dynamite.

I wish I’d had this in time for the Harvest post! In this game, you must squash the Brussels Sprouts before they land on your plate and in your mouth.

Oy, that’s low. And they didn’t even find out I was an unemployed widowed mother of two!

John Cleese gave the eulogy at Graham Chapman’s funeral. Its just as you would imagine.

THE QUESTION

(Thanks, Ed!) 
A rabbi and a guy are traveling together. The guy says to the rabbi, "I have a question to ask you. Why does everyone think Jews are smarter than Gentiles?"

The rabbi, who is not up for an argument, says, "I'm sorry, but I am just a simple rabbi! I'm not qualified to participate in such a discussion."

The guy insists. "I have a theory and I need to test it. Here is my proposal: I'll pay you $100 if you can ask me a question that I can't answer. But if I can ask you a question that you can't answer, you must pay me $100."

The rabbi replies, "But I'm just a poor rabbi! I only have $10 on me."

The guy hesitates, then says, "OK, it's my $100 against your $10." The rabbi finally agrees, stipulating only that he be permitted to ask the first question. The guy agrees.

"OK," says the rabbi, "What animal has scaly skin, the body of a cat, the face of a squirrel, the ears of a mouse, webbed toes, and swims under water?"

Surprised, the guy admits that he doesn't know. He asks the rabbi for a few more minutes to think about it. The rabbi agrees. Two minutes later, the guy takes $100 from his wallet and gives it to the rabbi.

The guy then asks the rabbi, "So what animal was it?"

The rabbi replies, "How should I know?" and gives the guy $10.

Wikipedia has gotten so big that I encountered not one, but two parody sites yesterday, the Uncyclopedia, and Sickipedia. This, on the heels of The Onion’s wonderful article on how Wikipedia is Celebrating 750 Years of American Independence.

The Grocery List Collection is just what it says. You can see hundreds of found grocery lists, or submit new ones. The reason people do this is not clear, but everyone needs a hobby.

According to Yisrayl Hawkins, nuclear (or nucular) war will begin on September 12, 2006.

“StatueMolesters.com -find a statue... make it smile.” That’s their motto, but they should include “make sure you have a friend with a camera.” You’ll find 50+ photos of folks having their way with statues. This one looks likes she’s enjoying it.
If you find that sort of thing funny, you’ll also like I Hump Things.

This story isn’t comedy, but you’ll be glad you read it. I had tears in my eyes when I did, over at When I Grow Up. Read the story first, then watch the video. Then you might also want to watch this documentary from a few years ago.
