If your dog has done something really baaad, you can at least get some recognition for it. Go to Bad Dog Chronicles and have him confess his story there... (many of the stories are hilarious). It's raining outside and our dog is snoozin' on his bed; he doesn't feel like working and neither do I. Take a break from work and check out I should be working. Have you seen The Corey and Jay Show? They just found Dog News this week, along with some other odd sites. You gotta love a site with a banner that says Visit T-shirt Hell. Corey and Jay are constantly finding funny and strange sites:

The screams of Hell - some guy's website claims to have the recorded the screams of Hell obtained by men drilling in Siberia.  Yeah, just your typical Monday Missing Link....Taftquack.com - AFLAC tried to stop this commercial, now you can watch it,  The Fetish Map - somebody has tried to map out and graphically demonstrate how all the major fetishes are related to each other (sounds like a twisted blogdex Metalinker to me). InsultMonger.com - "...thousands of quality insults, putdowns, comebacks, funny insulting quotations, witty one-liners, hilarious jokes, random insult generators, foreign languages swear words/phrases and insulting wavs." My3cents.com - consumer comments and reviews on just about everything. Compliments, complaints and just useful information.  [From the Corey and Jay Show]
Just who or what is Beyond the Black Stump?  It seems the Beyond the BlackStump (a web site and cool search engine established in 1995) from down under in Australia found us. If you're interested in cool new sites, search engines, australiana, software, puzzles, news, free stuff and  more, give them a whirl... Dog News especially likes the link, Toolkit for the expert web searcher, a site by Pat Ensor, an academic librarian who has harnessed the internet. Whoa, The BlackStump has the most comprehensive image search tools I've ever seen. Check it out at their search site. Thanks, Black Stump!
