Things my girlfriend and I have argued about

"Wherever I'm standing is where Margret needs to be standing, and vice versa. Doesn't matter where we are - the kitchen, the bathroom, Scotland - we each infuriatingly occupy the space where the other one wants to be, urgently.

And much much more.

Disturbing Auctions

'This site is dedicated to the research and study of the most bizarre items found for sale on internet auction sites. Not the obviously fake auctions, like the infamous human kidney, but truly tacky stuff that people really, honestly, believed that someone would (and in some cases did) buy.'

Amok Books' Links

A collection of web links, drawing heavily on 'Amok Fifth Despatch', which they describe as 'the definitive reference work surveying the outer margins of our Information Age' covering 'the entire gamut of extreme literature...arranged according to its own ground-breaking taxonomy, from "Control" (analysis of power structures from the Trilateral Commission to the American Psychiatric Assn.) to "Mayhem" (true crime, disasters, forensic medicine) to "Neuropolitics" (psychedelia, parapsychology, brain chemistry) to "Scratch'n'Sniff" (pop culture and kitsch) to "Orgone" (sexuality, the body, and the life-force) and more.'
