Adorable, cuddly, slobbery, Upside-down dogs

Repulsive, yet somehow adorable and endearing. These are pictures taken of dogs while they are upside-down, with the image later set right-side up to reveal how weird dogs look when all the loose skin on their face is hanging in the wrong direction. Somehow, these pictures just make me happy. Also, a lot of them look like Sigourney Weaver's character on Ghostbusters after she's tuned into that demon dog: THERE IS NO DANA, ONLY ZUUL!

China Channel: Starving children in china would love to look at that website.

'China Channel Toolbar':
See what it's like to be a Chinese internet user. This FireFox add-on forwards your IP address through a proxy server that is behind China's censorship: The Chinese Government literally sees your web browsing as taking place on a computer in China, and filters your traffic accordingly. If you go to a site they don't approve of, your internet connection will be blocked for 15 minutes. Fortunately, you can quickly and easily go back to your normal way of browsing to continue what you were doing.

Subversive Cross Stitch: None of your damn business, bitch!

http://www.subversivecrossstitch.com/
Recommended by Emily Johnson
Actual cross-stitches with less than traditional exclamations on them:


'Happy F*cking Holidays'


'Truthiness' adorned with an eagle

subversive cross stitch: Babies Suck
'Babies Suck'


'Don't make me cut you'

subversive cross stitch: bite me
'Bite Me'

subversive cross stitch: People Are Cattle
'People are cattle'

subversive cross stitch: go fuck yourself
'Go F*ck Yourself'

You can enjoy the apathy from afar, or join in by purchasing a pattern or a complete kit and create one of your own.

Brokers with their hands on their faces: More than just a cliche, it’s cathartic, too!

Brokers, aghast at the financial destruction all around them, stand agape with their hands on their faces. Lotsa pictures of miserable and stressed out stockbrokers. It certainly makes me feel better about our financial crisis.

Future Me: Send your self an email in the future, from the present, which will by then be the past…

Write yourself a letter, which will then be emailed to you a date of your choosing. You can also choose whether to make your letter 'privately public' - anonymously making the subject and body of your email available for public consumption. Although you will occasionally get the "I'm 12, you will be 16 - do you like driving?" type of crap, it's usually quite fascinating to see what people write on this site. Poignant, jubilant, embarrassing and painful, the emails really cover the complete emotional spectrum. It also makes you wonder how many of these people facepalm themselves after reading their email.

One guy/girl asked about how their shares of Rambus stock were doing, hoping they were over $50. Currently less than 9. So sad.
