Patent Pendingwww.patentlysilly.comIf you ever need to kill an hour or so, you can wander over to the US Patent Office website (patft.uspto.gov)a try a search on terms like ‘dog’ or ‘penis’ (or even ‘dog penis’), but if you’re in a hurry (or just lazy)head over to PatentlySilly.com instead.

That makes rediscovering these images somewhat poignant, and very cool.Now these are real Yahooswww.personaldumpster.comPhotos of the scariest looking people in the Yahoo! Personals section. This place is like the Fugly.com annex! It seems that Internet access has achieved quite a level of penetration in the trailer parks. Wow. You’d think that the photographer might have said, ‘Wait, let me take another one. That one didn’t turn out very good.’ Then again, maybe he did.
