GIGO: words unreadable aloud

Purse of the encavator

I started with "Grab Bag", as in "miscellaneous collection". It was the babelizer that turned it into the Purse of the Encavator.

Anyway, here are a few miscellaneous links I've encountered in the last few days ...

Weird mystery electrical equipment, from the "Mike's Electric Stuff" page ...
Coulrophobia is the official psychological term given to the irrational fear of clowns.
I'll just add: it's not always irrational.
On his yellowtext weblog, Andy Inhatko sez:
Something just occurred to me. The Beatles are missing one lead singer and one guitarist. The Who are now short a drummer and a bass player. Should these four guys at least take a meeting together or something?
[ Andy calls his whole site "CWOB" — it seems only fitting for GIGO to have a link to "Collosal Waste Of Bandwidth", doesn't it? ]
Mac Net Journal had an entry a few days ago that talked about URL Manager Pro.
There was also a pointer (from MNJ, I think) to a weblog about Applescript ...
And it in turn had a link to X-Commands (at kanzu.com)
"X-Commands contains nearly five dozen new commands for AppleScripters in Mac OS X. Some of the commands include:

Keyboard and mouse simulation
Autotype text (type key using command, etc)
System Info
Screen Info
Interface commands (display message, display progress)
String commands (hex to string, sort strings, etc.)
Many example scripts are included.
