There are all sorts of sites that produce content meant to be funny, like <a href="http://theonion.com/">The Onion</a>, <a href="http://mcsweeneys.net/">McSweeney's Internet Tendency</a>, <a href="http://somethingawful.com/">Something Awful</a> or a <a href="http://www.pointlesswasteoftime.com">Pointless Waste of Time</a>. Whether or not you think the invidual attempts at humor are successful or not, that is their purpose to at least some people. The Internet offers humor in unlooked-for places as well, like this collection of <a href="http://www.quq.dk/cybersex.htm">Cool Cybersex Logs</a>, in which one or more users troll chat rooms to prank unsuspecting partners with frustrating experiences. For example, there's this one involving play-acting: <bq><pre><b>bloodninja:</b> Ok baby, we got to hurry, I don't know how long I can keep it ready for you. <i>j_gurli3:</i> thats ok. ok i'm a japanese schoolgirl, what r u. <b>bloodninja:</b> A Rhinocerus. Well, hung like one, thats for sure. <i>j_gurli3:</i> haha, ok lets go. <i>j_gurli3:</i> i put my hand through ur hair, and kiss u on the neck. <b>bloodninja:</b> I stomp the ground, and snort, to alert you that you are in my breeding territory.</pre></bq> It goes on from there, until <iq>the dust stirs around my tough skinned feet</iq> and poor <i>j_gurl3</i> is forced to leave, unfulfilled. Sure, playing pranks has been done to death by an untold number of stupid shows on MTV, but some of the logs on the page listed above are quite inventive and, if they truly happend in real-time, indicate people with very quick wits and far too much time on their hands. Another person in such a situation is <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/AA9IP6AYACFK5/002-9069770-4568066?ie=UTF8&display=public&sort%5Fby=MostRecentReview&page=7">Henry Raddick</a>, who, several years ago, gained a small amount of fame by bombarding the Amazon reviews with less-than-honest reviews on all sorts of subjects. Here is a sampling from his more than 200 reviews: <dl dt_class="field"> How to Raise & Train a Pug <bq><b>Sound guide to a horrid little dog</b>---I bought this book in an effort to learn to bond with my pug Grendel. The burden falls on me to do it as my wife refuses to walk him as she says he adds 10 years to her appearance (15 with the dog jacket), and in a funny way I think she's probably right. He is a hard dog to to get to know, and even harder to like, but thanks to this superb guide I think were making progress until my kids put that "Kick Me" label on his jacket. 4 neighbours took up the invitation on a recent walk and Grendel has, if anything, become even more disagreeable.</bq> Sport Psychology for Women <bq>My wife and I have found this a tremendous guide for athlete and coach alike. I may be her husband, but for ten 3 minute rounds I'm her coach, and the advice in this book forms the basis of my wife's mental approach to the sport. Since reading this[,] her close work has been tremendous and her work-rate impeccable even though she still struggles against an opponent who can stay at arm's-length working a powerful jab.</bq> Tom Cruise (Overcoming Adversity) <bq>The public only see the glamour - but Phelan Powell shows the significant obstacles Tom Cruise has overcome in order to live his life of pampered opulence. In Cruise's case dyslexia was the obstacle - it nearly cost him the part of the barman in "Cocktail" (he thought it was a film about cockatiels and told his agent he "didn't do parrots") and he bought his own wildebeeste to research the part of Lt Maverick Mitchell in "Top Gnu".</bq> Misogyny: The Male Malady <bq>An excellent guide which I, and by extension my shrew of a wife, thoroughly enjoyed.</bq> Callings: Finding and Following an Authentic Life <bq>I was never going to fill my father's shoes when he asked me to take over the family business - he was voted the "county's finest offal butcher" 9 times in his career. That's a lot to live up to and something which may have led to the debilitating aimlessness which has marred my life for the past 43 years. But this book has been a Godsend and through reading it I have learnt to focus my energy and reach for my dreams. Being rendered a de facto prisoner in my own home through my own obesity and a having glass eye aren't going to keep me from Hollywood now.</bq> </dl>
