Birmingham city council has admitted to distributing a leaflet which shows an urban landscape of Birmingham… in Alabama. I have to admit, I've googled the weather forecast for 'Birmingham' on several occasions and been shocked with the hot temperatures it forcasts… only to realise I'm actually looking at the US namesake.
Read the BBC news article.
Thanks to Joe for sharing the link, and this link.
I’m currently looking into either buying / making an arcade cabinet. Pre-made ones are pretty expensive and most are a bit OTT. An alternative is to buy a kit and then build it and decorate as I see fit (plain with no decals, if you're asking)… or I could try and build one myself.
Yeah, that’d be good! Draw up some plans, cut the wood, buy some buttons and joysticks, then reveal my masterpiece to the world! Just like these lot did. This site presents the very best of the very worst. The commentary and sheer randomness of some of the designs had me cracking up. Enjoy.
Just when you thought you couldn't see properly… I love informercials they're so cheesy - it's like you've seen the best - now check this!!
To fill you in some more, I actually own the one below. Read on for more…
You can now have KITT direct you to your destination with the Knight Rider GPS system. The device is actually voiced by William Daniels who played KITT in the series. Ace!

I spent the best part of a couple of hours working my way through this electronic music tree. (Virtually) every genre of electronic music is covered with samples as examples. Ever wondered what Gloomcore is? Look no further. What makes the guide is the entertaining commentary by Ishkur. For example...
- Ghetto Tech
“When Ghetto Tech plays, it's as if the Heavens themselves are speaking. Ghetto Tech will be the natural law of the New World Order. God himself will come down, declare his kingdom on earth, and inscribe on two tablets for all the hoes to shake their multitudes of titties. And it will be good. To the farthest reaches of the earth Ghetto Tech will permeate, and teach us all about harmony, life, love, and slapping dicks against the mouths of many bitches. Oh yes. So it is written, so it will be done. Amen.”

This is ACE! This is probably is an internet phenomenon already — if not, you saw it here first — and I got it from here...
Why not Monkify yourself (as well as see how you look older, younger, as a different race, as a woman etc etc)
HA HA HA!
