| 1. | Rhetoric: An Online Novel | | | The longest story ever produced is the one you’re living...Shakespeare might have been right when he said all the world was a stage, but he neglected to mention that none of the actors were issued scripts before they hit that stage. Also, none of the actors seem to know what their character motivation is supposed to be, and all of them suspect that the director is slacking off a little. Like it or not, they are being held to the production under contract (which none of them remember signing) and the ending probably won’t end happily since it will likely involve someone’s death. All of this means that the production of life has some lousy working conditions, and sorry, everyone’s typecast into their role and stuck with it. Walking off the set isn't an option because no one really knows if there will be an after-life sequel, but that doesn’t stop most people from attending Sunday church sessions, hoping to hook up with the right agent who might know the director personally. If all of this sounds depressing, relax, life is what you make of it, which means it could even be a comedy. And if the story being played on the stage of life had a title, it might even be called...Rhetoric

| 2. | Seanbaby's Super Friends Page | | | On this page, you can get started reliving your childhood, seeing things you never noticed, and learning how to incorporate the Super Friends into your binge drinking. Everyone's been helped by them at least once. It didn't matter if you were a third world farmer and the best technology your village had was a stick you chewed to a point, you were never farther than 20 feet from a portable Super Friends Trouble Alert video phone. You could call them in for anything from a volcanic disaster to your puppy getting a splinter. They didn't care how pathetic your problem was, they sat by the phone all day waiting for crap like that to happen.

| 3. | Seanbaby's Hostess Page | | | In the seventies, villains weren't as deadly as they are now. All it took to be evil back then was a pair of bellbottoms with matching turtleneck and headband. Maybe an afro, maybe just some panties and a cape. One or two of them thought just being ugly would bring the world to its knees, and most times it almost worked. But there was one thing those evil bastards never counted on. Our heroes carry fruit pies. Fruit pies that they'll throw to you if you've been hoarding food or stealing national monuments. Fruit pies that are not only filled with delicious real fruit filling, but filled with the sweet taste of poetic justice.

| 4. | Seanbaby.com | | | There are people out there that hate me. Maybe because I make fun of them, use to many bad words, or have pointed out the lesser qualities of their favorite cartoon. Regardless of the reasons, they're right. I'm a dick. So I decided it was time I made a page that was solely devoted to making the world a better place.It will consist of ideas you can use in your everyday life to sound like less of an idiot, or give anecdotal examples of how I've helped the world through my own selfless actions. I might even include some instructions on how to make a macrame plant holder/ash tray. And if anyone has an even remotely rational reason why pictures of Lynda Carter don't make the world a better place, let me know.

| 5. | Terry Pratchett Quotes - Good Omens | | | According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter -- the world's only totally reliable guide to the future -- the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just after tea. Which means that Armageddon will happen on a Saturday night. There will be seas of fire, rains of fish, the moon turning to blood and the massed armies of Heaven and Hell will sort it out once and for all. Which is a major problem for Crowley, Hell's most approachable demon and former serpent, and his opposite number and old friend Aziraphale, genuine angel and Soho bookshop owner. They like it down here (or, in Crowley's case, up here). So they've got no alternative but to stop the Four Motorcyclists of the Apocalypse, defeat the marching ranks of the Witchfinder's army (all two of them) and -- somehow -- stop it all happening. Above all (or, in Aziraphale's case, below all), they need to find and kill the Antichrist, currently the most powerful creature on Earth. This is a shame. Because he's eleven years old, loves his dog (even though it's really a Satanic hellhound under all that hair), really cares about the environment, and is the sort of boy anyone would be proud to have as a son. He's also totally invulnerable, and a nice kid. And if that isn't enough, they've still got Sunday to deal with...

| 6. | Douglas Adams . com | | | Welcome to the new Douglas Adams home site! Although we've only just launched it, we've already got tons of funny, useful and pretty damn definitive information for people interested in Douglas and his work. (and even if you've only got a passing interest, we're sure you'll find something here to entertain you. Somewhere.) The site is still pretty small now, but it'll be growing rapidly over the next couple of months as we introduce new features such as the forum (where Douglas's fans can exchange pleasantries and Douglas will be answering the occasional question) and Douglas's diary, which he'll be updating regularly..

| 8. | An artist reveals her phantoms: The Ghost Watcher | | | Help June sleep well tonight—“Do you ever hear strange sounds coming from spaces that surround you? Well I do...and they really scare me when I'm alone. So I decided to make these new marvels of technologies work for me. I hope they will help me understand what those sounds are and who/what produces them. All the videocam/spotlight set-ups of the GhostWatcher are based on the same model. There is one spotlight per camera. Except in the Corridor where there is no light at all. In a random fashion between one and three times per minute spotlights are turned on and images are grabbed. The platform under my bed, the inside of my trunks and strategic parts of my basement are monitored at all time.”
