Lexicon Issue 006 - Wierd Web

Undoubtedly the worst tragedy to occur in the series of events that took place on September 11th was the destruction of the World Trade Centre. But let’s not forget what else happened on that unbelievable day - America’s military strategic centre was also struck as another Boeing plummeted into the Pentagon. This site analyses whether a plane could have caused the damage actually found at the crash site, by using pictures and trying to make sense of muffled eye witness accounts - all pointing towards a totally credible conspiracy theory that no plane ever did actually collide into the building.

Unintentionally being drawn into the conspiracy theories for this issue, this one was sent in with no name. So did man really land on the moon? This is the question posed on Moon Movie dot com. Quite a comprehensive site this will further your interest in this alleged hoax if you watched any of the TV documentaries on this subject earlier in the year. They challenge again using mainly photographic evidence such things as realness of surroundings, wind directions, disturbed ground and all the nitty gritty.

At Steak and Cheese you can find a wealth of absurd but well humourous stuff. Following the above link and extension takes you to a directory of clever little games and joke videos. ‘Britney Brawl’ see Miss Spears limbering up against ex-pres Bill Clinton, she prepares to bust her trademark wrestling moves like ‘Kick Me Baby’, ‘The Spear’ and ‘The Britney Slam’. You can play ‘hangman’, ‘sheepy’ (make the sheep jump the hurdles/cars) and hundreds of other classics as well as original novelty ideas, enjoy.

Not sure what to expect when this was sent in going by the name, Punch Baby, but don’t worry folks there’s no condoning of child cruelty in any shape or form. An extensive site that contains video clips of ‘you’ve been framed’ styled scenarios, celebs messing up on camera, also check some of the funniest clips from Trigger Happy TV, Banzai and other quality TV shows. Also historical moments can be found here like Anthea Turner accidentally revealing her little cotton panties to the world and Bill Clinton testifying that he did not have any kind of sexual relationship with ‘that woman’.

Gibble guts is a wicked cartoon fest tagged with the best captions around. Simple interactive animations will also have you in creases, the best one we reckon is ‘the farting dog harmonics’ claimed to be “the most talented dogs on the internet” and it’s not hard to see why as they do what dogs are best at after all. You can also ‘spank yer monkey’ (not quite what you think), pass the ‘intern test’ (again taking the mickey out of the impeached former US pres), ‘cross-dress Osama’ and check ‘dancin granny’, all superb stuff.

Well that’s it again for now from our regular ‘weird web’ and as usual we are asking you the readers to go forth into ‘cyber land’ and tell us what you think could fit in this column (and there’s no denying you’ve all come across something worthy for this).
