When did Australia become a police state?

When in doubt, throw it out The British may waste more food than any other nation, throwing out 30-40% of all the produce they buy and grow each year.

Muddled-up Posting George On the physics of posting: One thing that always gets to me is that i still can't remember off by heart the recipe for the html for links, all that stuff. Do monkeys have secret techniques to make the posting of links easier? The other thing that's difficult is finding out whether there's been any new comments on ancient threads that you're interested in. (I'll be darned if someone's going to get the last word in!) It would be nice if it showed me all new comments that have come up on all threads i've posted to?

Looks like Yahoo! News has a new beta version. It may look nice, but it only gives you headlines and it's not as customizable as others. At least it's got comics and photos.

Typographic George. I'm currently in the process of laying out my school's literary magazine. I've been basing my design templates and whatnot off of other literary magazines and publications I've studied, but what I really need is a comprehensive resource to help me give this magazine a well-structured, innovative, visually pleasing layout. I'm sure there are monkeys out there who do this stuff for a living; does anyone know of anything online (or off, I guess) that could help me out? more inside

The T shirts are ready to ship Hello monkeys! The long awaited t shirts have been printed and now I need LA monkeys to help. It shouldn't be too much of a pain if we all do it together. I'm taking a trip to Baja this weekend, but will be back next week. We can plan a mellow week night of envelope stuffing and addressing at my house. Any takers?

Sing-a-long-a-Simpson - Homer, that is. FLASH required. NSFW due to possibly slightly risque ads with young girls with big tits in the side bar.

Only YOU can save Sheylan. The United Nations World Food Programme brings you Food-Force, the game about saving a community from starvation, not aliens, by completing 6 different missions. Play online, or download. (Warning: The downloaded version takes 30 minutes on broadband - insert your own joke about bureaucracy here.)

This is your game on drugs. Pharmacy: The Game is an adventure in drug trivia and karma. And don't miss the game's history, which involves a failed car wash/head shop called "Smoke & Suds." Heh.

Rather depressing news, I'm afraid. Some wonderful creatures with names to match - Silky Sifaka, Buffy-headed Tufted Capuchin, Miller's Grizzled Surili...

Roll your own pope with the Pope-U-Lator

Treat your mother right. (.asx file, broadband, Mr. T)

Curious George: Finding a taxi. I'm doing a quick business trip in Ohio and would like to avoid renting a car. If I just call up a place like "Yellow Cab" will I be getting good service and price? Or is it better to look around in the phone book?

The Space Race is ON!!! ...goosebumps, I've got goosebumps.

Killer flu strain released accidently by some dumbass to labs in 18 countries.

Validating your speciesist opinions, kinda, sorta-- or at least giving you an out when referring to certain someones as subhuman in mixed company. more inside

Bonsai Kitten "By physically constraining the growth of a developing living thing, it can be directed to take the shape of the vessel that constrains it. Just as a topiary gardener produces bushes that take the forms of animals or any other thing, you no longer need be satisfied with a housepet having the same mundane shape as all other members of its species. With Bonsai Kitten, a world of variation awaits you, limited only by your own imagination." This is one of the more twisted ideas I have run across.
