Random Weirdness Generator

September 25, 2007

Due to an egregious lack of preparedness (damn you Blizzard!) I’m forced to go themeless this week and present a random smattering of web weirdness. Fruit protection, famously bad skin and literary overindulgence … this week on The World Weird Web.

Banana Guard
Have you ever accidentally damaged your banana? No, this is not some kind of euphemism, I’m actually referring to the fruit. Have you ever had a banana on your person and accidentally damaged it in some way? Neither have I, but apparently the creator of this product has and it became such a problem that they invented a plastic carrying case solely for the purpose of banana protection. Of course, it could be used to hold other things. Personally, I think it would make a great casing for a Banana Phone (and now it’s stuck in your head too)

Skinema.com
No, contrary to the implication of the url, this is not an adult site. It is in fact a site devoted to dermatology in the cinema. Yes, that’s right, skin conditions on film (you might want to hold off on the popcorn). In addition to a look at how realistically these conditions are portrayed and a very salient observation about movie heroes and villains, it also chronicles the real life complexions of various actors (you’ll never look at your favorite movie star the same again). They even have their own awards … The Skinnies (yes, I’m sure it isn’t an adult site)

Modern Drunkard Magazine

If you’ve ever been severely intoxicated and wished that someone would create a magazine for people just like you … well, your wish has now come true. Featuring articles on such diverse topics as how to survive after hours parties and “The booze-fueled films of W.C. Fields”, Modern Drunkard claims that they have been “Standing Up For Your Right to Get Falling Down Drunk Since 1996″. There’s only one little tiny problem, you’ll have to be able to see straight in order to read it.

Yes, I know that the banner with the name of the site has been missing since last week. I don’t know what happened to it, but I’ve tried to replace it to no avail. If anyone knows how to fix this problem, please let me know and if I’m the only one not seeing it, please disregard this.
