Truck Stop: Web Pages Of The Day.

Current page of the day week blue moon:

http://objective.jesussave.us/kidz.html

Previous pages of the day(ish):

27-Nov-2003: What do you mean not updating? Ok, well Giolla has told me that I have to add this lovely little page in which Lambuel will help us to find Jesus. I think that's rather nice of him but unless Peggy is a vegatarian I would advise some more caution in his friendship personally. Personally... I am intrigued by Hopsia the Kanga-Jew but then as it says on the page, as an Athiest I am bound to be grumpy and snide.
As an aside... This lot have a campaign to try and shutdown the Landover Baptist Church, one of our old favourites. I would like to refer them to the 1st Amendment of the American constitution, but frankly, I can't be arsed.
07-Jul-2003: I have been really crap of late in that I have been collecting pages, but not putting them up. However, this page offering an alternative view on cats was too good to leave till later. Purrrrr!
14-Apr-2003: What a beautiful odd little pageoftheday today, and although a few people have accused this of looking like my writing style, it isn't, honest. have a peek at Ulli's Roy Orbison In Clingfilm Website.
04-Apr-2003: I am goign to start collecting my local dogs, and sending them to The Dog Island. It sounds lovely to me!
30-Mar-2003: I was bored for a minute and someone pointed me to this sweet little page that shows you how to make starships out of floppy disks. Here's the one I made. Now, I have a problem that I am often bored and I have about 2,000 old floppy disks to dispose of... Maybe I should go into business selling mobiles?
21-Mar-2003: Jim is sulking at me for not changing the pageoftheday for weeks, so he has submitted this sweet and useful little page that tells you How to tell the Birds from the Flowers.
02-Mar-2003: Continuing the subject of food, I found this one whilst looking for some history to back up the fact that I still say "Good morning" to people at 3pm, which was a common thing back in the 1700's. Whilst searching I found this fascinating history page on when Dinnertime should be. So, now you know!
25-Feb-2003: More food! I found an American Breakfast Page full of yummie recipes, so I have decided it can be a pageoftheday if only for the guy's scrolling shirt and the concept of a breakfast pie which even the British haven't invented yet!
24-Feb-2003: We don't often have porn links on pageoftheday, but this site called Digital Data Porn is well worth a visit. Don't worry, it's "office safe".
14-Feb-2003: I backdated this one to St. Valentine's Day, just because. For many years I have been looking for a page that could answer all of my questions about poo and finally, I have found one.
04-Feb-2003: Mr Wisner said I couldn't have written this page because the design is too good. However, it is a lovely page and there are some very nice tits on this page. I am still looking for the Finnish pages though. This page isn't entirely original mind you, take a look at some pages done by our co-editor Jim on knobs and knockers and big juicy cocks.
03-Feb-2003: This is actually Jim's pageoftheday for the 5th, but I wanted to leave the lovely tits page up a while. This is, however, the only page you will ever need should you ever require any Christian Clip Art. There is a prize for anyone who can explain why they chose the fruit that they did...
30-Jan-2003: Emma claims to have one of these, and claims they are wonderful. The testimonials on the page seem to generally agree with her so who am I to argue? Run out now and buy some tostabags!
29-Jan-2003: As Stew says, the world has truly gone mad. Luckily, in this mad world, your dog can still be well dressed to all the best parties.
28-Jan-2003: Whilst not a patch on the kangaroo scrotums (ok, so I am obsessed) - This is getting there at least. Anybody like a Toad Leather Waist Bag?
27-Jan-2003: Finland, Finland, Finland... The place where I want to be. Pony trecking or horse riding, reading odd web pages with glee.
19-Jan-2003: Iam not doing well this year, and I have loads to add as well - Just been stuck for a spare 2 hours. But today's was too good to pass up. An old hero of mine has a web page so go and learn something useful from Wilf Lunn.
09-Jan-2003: Hopefully you have forgotten our previous obsession with fake moon landings and will let us get away with having another one as the first pageoftheday for 2003. This one has the best proof I have ever seen that the moon landings were faked.
19-Dec-2002: I have to admit that I was wrong... And this is the page that proved it. I was always of the opinion that more people in the world drove on the left than on the right but it seems that is not the case. So have you ever wondered who drives on that side, and why?
17-Dec-2002: This one is wonderful but I still don't have the faintest idea what it is! Have a peek at Vector Park. The 1st (tree) icon takes you to a a very odd little Park plaything, and the second is an addictive little balancing game. I am told the Park thing is worth keeping going with, but it drove me mad after 2 hours. If you find out WHY this site is, please tell us?
10-Dec-2002: I love this one - Well done to whoever did it, I shall have to submit you some missing ones. For years we have needed a Dictionary of Playground Slang and now, we have one.
09-Dec-2002: Although this one is not really eligible for pageoftheday because we didn't actually discover it and it has already had a lot of publicity, it is interesting to note that Eric is coming to England. So instead of the whole site, we are making any Eric Emotions that he does in Britain qualify.
02-Dec-2002: I don't know why this page is here, I don't want to know why this page is here... Alas, it holds a certain perverse fascination (or maybe I am just odd!). If you are over 18 (yea, like you listen to me!), of sound mind and have an inquisitive nature then here's everything you wanted to know about the male foreskin.
22-Nov-2002: I promise we will get back to silly pages of the day soon, but in the meantime, another odd military one - I didn't know that Britain had had so many small wars since WW2.
19-Nov-2002: An unusual one today in the interests of providing a fascinating read. I am told that this little book is by the chap who invented the tank so if you are feeling in the mood for a little military strategy take a peek at The Defence of Duffer's Drift by Captain E.D. Swinton, D.SO., R.E. (later Major General Sir Ernest Swinton, K.BE., C.B., D.S.O.). It's worth it... Honest! Incidentally, there are a few other interesting ones at The Combined Arms Research Library.
18-Nov-2002: We like sheds on pageoftheday.com - In fact, we love sheds so much that instead of the Construction Babes Calendar, we will definately be hanging The Luxury Shed Calendar this year! - I bet we won't get a free copy either, grumble!
14-Nov-2002: Usually we never include pages that have come via Spam mail - This revolting page, however deserves a look. Please don't buy anything from here though; I would hate to be encouraging the spammers (would ANYONE ever buy anything from here anyway?).
11-Nov-2002: I was in a patriotic mood, so for today's pageoftheday, take a minute In Flanders Fields.
07-Nov-2002: There was once a quote on Radio 4 that said; "My kids use the Internet far too much anyway. The only useful it has ever taught them is how to use the mouse with their left hands." -- The person who submitted this page suggests that this page on Christian Masturbation was probably created with just one hand too. (Editors note: Damn, it's not a page of naked pictures of cute Christians. Ah well!)
06-Nov-2002: This one is probably a bit too popular to be here, but I like it anyway. have you ever asked yourself who would buy that?
05-Nov-2002: This isn't so much the page that is good as the technology, and remember we are huge fans of Mastic Asphalt on this page. This is the only page I could find about Durham University's new Plasma Super-Waterproofing method. Keep an eye on this one, it may really screw up the outdoor clothing industry when a street corner laundrette can waterproof a cheap shirt.
05-Nov-2002: Given that it is Bonfire Night, I thought I should put some pages of the day that didn't quite make it into a little virtual bonfire. There is no particular reason that they didn't make it as full on pages of the day, it just happened that way so here's the latest bonfire batch.
- Baby Photo Retouching Service: This one is truly scary...
- Going underground in Norwich... This just looked fun, sorry!
- Virtual Om: I have absolutely no idea what this is... Turn your sound low!
- Apex Corner: Another one of those odd British Road Sites.
- The Atlas of Congenital Anomalies of the External Genitalia.
- BBC News story: Father's surprise: call-girl daughter
- We all love the AOL girl!
- A selection of politically incorrect books. Oi! I was bought up reading some of these!
- The fascinating history of Pencil leads... They are a bit like Mastic Asphalt... Sort of.
- Erm, ok... so more on Pencil leads.
- Movie Magazine International's review of Rita, Sue and Bob, Too.
- Save yourself from US Governmental Torture!
- You know, I would be lying if I said I knew why this is here. But it is!
- The Glass Museum's Orrefors Glass pages. For once, an artistic and cultural page of the day!
- Projections and Perspectives of Maps of the World. Well I find it fascinating so there!
- Save yourself from an atomic war. Always useful, I find.
- More of the above, sort of.
- How did America get its name? This is almost certainly crap and the evidence of the flag and coat of arms is bollocks, but it's amusing none the less!
- The Buggles - Video Killed the Radio Star: A sweet tribute.
- Want to take over the world? You will need this page!
04-Nov-2002: Thanks to Jon for this excellent page of the day about smelly wee after eating asparagus. I am told that if you are one of the lucky 40%, then spreading your smelly wee around in places you don't want cats visiting is very effective.
02-Nov-2002: As you probably guessed by the fact that I can write in something approaching English and have an understanding of Irony and Sarcasm, I am actually from England. Now there's a lot of bad things said about British Food that's complete crap and there's a lot said that is perfectly true but what to believe? Well - Try my new favourite cooking site: Helen's British Cooking Page. It's the recipe section that you should be looking at, but I pointed this link to the homepage for some background.
01-Nov-2002: A wonderful page of the day, truly born out of obsession. You really have to wonder why some people bother... Luckliy for us though they do. It was hard to pick an individual page from this site of Simpsons Stuff but in the end the Simpsons Smoking Page won, closely followed by the Maggie Files. It's a very ... Special ... site.
25-Oct-2002: This one from Pete, proving that not all Dr Who fans are mild-mannered homosexuals but that there's a strong streak of repressed hetero voyeurism to them. A very strong candidate for Page of the Year it's The TARDIS Console Room.
22-Oct-2002: I am a huge fan of Poutine, and was looking for a recipe to send to someone. Luckily, I found this page. The rest of lard.net is worth a look too,
17-Oct-2002: One for the geeks today - This is a beautiful page on fun and games with a DECtalk. Pay particular attention to the Karaoke files, they are amazing.
I have a DECtalk page of my own (which means I have never been able to nominate it as a pageoftheday) full of Stephen Hawking Chat Up Lines which may also amuse people.
16-Oct-2002: Busy chap or chappess about town? Social life just too hectic? No time to read? Well help is at hand! Try this site, full of nice quick summaries of loads of books. It's a must for anyone needing to appear well read... Or something.
09-Oct-2002: As you can see, I have been busy and forgotten all about this page... Since it is early in the morning, I thought this page would be a good one. I shall add a few more soon, fear not!
As an aside, I have purchased some Kangaroo Scrotums from a previous pageoftheday; they are wonderful little things and you should go out and buy some now and use them as condom carriers!
03-Jun-2002: This site has been cited in a lot of other places, so rather than making the whole site the page of the day, I am simply making its Story of Genesis the best one. I would pick one to recommend, but they are all excellent.
01-Jun-2002: I had a month off, or something - So let's start the day with this sweet page entitled: Swedish idioms in painfully literal translation.
26-Apr-2002: This one is a beauty! All the criteria in one page. From the spinning logo to the bad taste subject... Ace!
25-Apr-2002: We have had these guys before, but it's a slow week and I have decided to learn to ride a unicycle. Personally, I intend to string up a line between two trees and tie myself to a pulley, but these guys make it look easy. Special marks for the little animated unicycle that changes every reload.
20-Apr-2002: Following on from the treeclimbing one, this lot are a lot less hippie, and a lot more fun. Have a look at the Urban Climbing pages.
16-Apr-2002: I have a few to back-add but this is one I found this morning - I want my treeclimbing name to be "Slow Loris" please! Some of these people are patently mad, but most of it looks fun. (Note, if you don't know what a Slow Loris is, you can click here).
17-Feb-2002: We are so slow, no updates for a month but this one is short and cute so don't worry! Become a Ninja easily at http://sthlm.org/~oz/bilder/ninjalesson.jpg.
16-Jan-2002: I love this! This is the current page of the year (which since there have only been three, isn't saying that much but hey!)... Out! Damned Meeces!
15-Jan-2002: A must for all your Beanie fans... It's Mista Wiggla.
14-Jan-2002: After a long spell away, we return with this particually special page about Ninjas... This one has supposedly moved to http://www.realultimatepower.net/ if the former doesn't work.
20-Nov-2001: Ooooh, I like this one - It says it's for males, but I am sure females can work it out. Try the Sad (male) Sci-Fi Fan page. - In case you are interested, I scored 4.
19-Nov-2001: I have decided that you lot need some culture. Since I like the painting, I am going to make this script of a BBC2 programme on Jan Van Eyck's revolutionary Renaissance painting today's page of the day.
05-Nov-2001: Remember, remember, the 5th of November... Gunpowder, Treason and Plot.
I also quite like Britannia.com's information on Fawkes, and this nice simplifed version.
30-Oct-2001: Yet another page from b3ta.com - This time, you really will need your sound on (and I think it helps to be bored and drunk). So go and see what's new, pussycat.
18-Oct-2001: Although I had to change the page policy on swearing slightly to allow this one through, the Prime Number Shitting Bear is just too odd to miss! The rest of this chap's page looks beautifully put together too, but alas, I don't understand a word of it.
12-Oct-2001: I don't care if the page on this is poo or not, I like the subject and it's my page, so there! (how's that for petulant!?). This page is devoted to The Laxey Wheel which is bloody impressive!. Since I am in a petulant mood, and since I couldn't find the song for this page, you may as well have another Manx Song that I had to sing in school to keep you amused. Any complaints concerning drug overdoses caused by listening to this should be sent to the website owner, and not us!
11-Oct-2001: This may well end up as my page of the year, I have no idea why, I just love it. You will need your volume up a bit for this one.
10-Oct-2001: Pete and I reckon that this one is a "hoax" but it's a good one anyway, so it can stay:
09-Oct-2001: There's lots of odd "war on terrorism" pages around but this one did amuse me for a few minutes. It takes a while to load and needs some sound.
May to October 2001: Another long period of being off the air. So in our usual lazy manner, we'll just pop a list of interesting looking pages that came up during that time.
- You may want to turn your volume down for before you see if you are worthy enough to love the bunny.
- I think this one is best passed over without much comment really.
- Well ok, I figured this page on James Bond cars was interesting, but only becasuse I want them all (well except for the poofy BMW anyway).
- This one is purdy! Lots of scary little movies.
- Finally! A page devoted one of the best TV programmes ever made.
- Every now and then, I feel the need for some gratuitous girlie pages.
- Not my thing, in fact this one bored me within 20 seconds but some people seem to like dire puzzles like this so I figured I would include it.
- What every woman needs... I wonder what advertising executive came up with the slogan: Freshette is a revolutionary modern restroom alternative. - Um, you know, I get the feeling this product has never seen an advertising company...
- Once again, gratuity rules! - This is the by far the intersting number plate page!
- If you have problems with being hacked by cats, then this is probably just what you need. Personally, I will give this one a miss and just lock the screen.
- I suspect this one was a cult page for a while, though somehow, I think its popularity was short lived. However, I like the idea of a pylon of the month so I thought I would add it.
- If your sex life with your dolls is getting tedious, then this may well be just what you need.
- Not something we'd usually include, but I noted it down as a potential page of the day when I saw it - Sooo, if you like sick links then have a look here.
- If nothing else, this page proves how foreard thinking the designers of VMS were!
- Ok, so the "Things my girlfriend and I have argued about page" seems to have become a cult page, but I did like this little story about it. One has to wonder if an "angered net community" is similar to a "somewhat annoyed slug". angered net community like being savaged by a slug?
05-May-2001: On the 8th of Jan this year, we showed you a really cute stick man fighting video. Since we always like to "improve" on previous pages of the day, take a peek at this page and you should be quite impressed.
29-Mar-2001: I had to leave Cliff's page up for a couple of weeks but now I will have to get back to normal. And this one seems a good one to start with. Put on your dancing shoes and take a peek at: http://home.earthlink.net/~zefrank/invite/swfs/navigation.html
06-Mar-2001: This is a man after my own heart. I wanted to do this years ago but I am being sued by enough people as it is. Luckily, I can now vicariously live out my little happy fantasies on Cliff Yablonski's Page. I must apologise to you all for not putting this one up earlier since it's been a favourite of mine for months, but I think this may make page of the year anyway, keep them coming Carlos.
03-Mar-2001: Every so often, a truly wonderful page comes along that you know isn't a hoax and you know you are the first to discover. One such is http://www.baya.co.uk. This page appears to be a British teenagers attempt to rival Jennicam, there's even a "member's only" section which would have cost us $5 to look at if it had been working. Choose from looking at the diary that's never updated, some pictures of a dire sofa, buying her Duran Duran CD's from Amazon and shipping them to her PO box in Herts or passing the time away chatting to... Well, nobody! I love it, I even love the background colour! The whole thing is so utterly dire. For an ultimate irony, it has just been pointed out to us that her ex-boyfriend "Nny Nny" is named after a comic book character written by a chap who spends a good deal of time ripping the piss out of people who would copy comic book characters names. Irony? Noooo, we suspect not somehow given that sofa choice.
01-Mar-2001: This is a beautiful page! This is one of the finest pages I have seen for years and I truly hope it's not a hoax. Go on Randy, show us your stuff! - We should be pleased too, this is another one we found before the rest of the crowd.
February 2001: Various pages of the day we never wrote up.
- http://www.mrwinkle.com
  Truly foul! I hate this with a vengeance which makes it a perfect page of the day.
- http://www.anagramfun.com/
  Ok, it's silly but it's Jim's page of the week!
- http://homepage.ntlworld.com/mil.millington/things.html
  Well this one has been put as other people's pages of the day which usually we don't like, but it's still amusing. My beloved says that I am more like the woman in this one... Ummm!
- http://uhsweb.edu/dlaporte/dlaporte.htm
  Sweet Dino.. Very sweet.
- http://www.mum.org/
  The page titles itself as "Discover the rich history of menstruation and women's health on this Web site" - So, why not!
- http://www.rzuser.uni-heidelberg.de/~bu6/flatintr.htm
  This web site is devoted to the study of polyclad flatworms - What fun!
- http://daphne.palomar.edu/wayne/ww0503.htm
  Well it's erm... it's well... There will be lots of stuff you don't know on here anyway!
- http://www2.prestel.co.uk/littleton/aw1orion.htm
  A fine conspiracy theory! It's nearly as bad as them changing the pronunciation of Uranus the say that spaceship flew past.
- http://www.seaslugforum.net/nembpurp.htm
  Not vey interesting but very pretty and very odd.
- http://www.afn.org/~iori/morse2.html
  How could we live without this? Simple, we couldn't so aren't you glad we pointed this out?
- http://www.echonyc.com/~jkarpf/home/martini.html
  Jim selected this one just for me, the perfect martini!
- http://www.tittyscan.com/
  I think the name says it all... It's not catscan but it's nearly there!
- http://website.lineone.net/~dave_muirhead/
  I used to think I was strange owning a Dalek, but this lot make me look positively sane! Really they do!
- http://www.mindspring.com/~rasamus/cathate1.htm
  An excellent page devoted to an excellent cause. Turn your speakers off though, the midi is irritating in the extreme!
- http://totl.net/Dating/
  A special page for Valentines day... Computer dating for the 21st Century.
28-Jan-2001: You can thank Jim for this one... Turn up your speakers for the dire background music and go and look at http://www.petloss.com/ - I can't think of anything too polite to say about this, it is just cringeworthy but the chat room is a really good way of doing language translation.
24-Jan-2001: We have had a Russian Women page before, and since the person who submitted this one said that he wouldn't put his credit card into this site under pain of death technically invalidates it, I thought I would add a quick pointer to this anyway... Have a peek at http://privatexxx.virtualave.net/girls.htm. It's the write ups we like, nothing more, honest!
21-Jan-2001: The good thing about running the page of the day is that occasionally, you can be completely self-indulgent. So this one is for me, I am in lust with just about everything on The Antique Sword and Armour Connoisseur's Page.
09-Jan-2001: Everyone who reads this page must have, or have access to a Wide Mouthed Billy Bass. Yea? Well get out there and hack the thing to hell!
08-Jan-2001: One of our regular contributers was sent this today as an example of a company's interview process. I have no idea what on earth the text means but just remember, My Masta Kung Fu betta yaw Masta Kung Fu! (and get practicing that lipsynch).
06-Jan-2001: Well at the risk of being accused of political motives, it's been a quiet month so I thought I would agree to make this one a page of the day. Do you think George Bush Jr. looks like a chimp too?

Year 2000: Pages of the year.
I had to make two pages win this year - One on the commercial category and one in the personal category. So, pretty much as you could have predicted:
- The Stinky Feet Page.
- Curry's Page. - It's a fake, but it's still wonderful!
28-Dec-2000: Despite a lot of requests, I am not going to make the www.amihotornot.com web page a page of the day. Although it is fun and mildly amusing it simply doesn't have the depth required to be a true page of the day. Sorry folks, but it just doesn't match up to Curry and the like!
15-Dec-2000: I loved this one, and anyone who decides they need to diet would do well to read it. Try 30lbs in 30 days! Whilst you are there look at the Stinky Feet page too, I was nearly going to make this one the page of the day instead of the fat one, however, it was too icky even for us! One quote sums that one up: "I don't think doctors are that amused when a person tries to get sick for two weeks and then comes to them for a treatment he's going to make fun of on the ever-loving Internet."
I suspect I will make this one joint page of the year, along with Curry's. It is pages like this that really prove how amazing the Internet really is.
12-Dec-2000: I don't know why, but I thought I'd put a nice, happy and jolly page up today. Unfortunately, I failed.
07-Dec-2000: We have never had a news article as a page of the day before because they don't generally fit the criteria required. However, the fact that this one has such quotes as "Police later found Mr Hutchinson's testicle under a picture frame in the sitting room" means we couldn't ignore this one!.
26-Oct-2000: I hope this one is not a joke because I am about to order one as a marble bag. I will avoid all the obvious jokes but if you have any interest at all in Kangaroo Scrotums then you have to visit this page.
20-Oct-2000: You may not think so but this is my page and for once, I am going to have my own way and nominate the penguins! It's just a shame the camera doesn't refresh properly.
18-Oct-2000: This one kept me amused for about 10 minutes (15 if you class the network outage inbetween!) and that's getting close to a record for me. Take some exercise, ignore all the blatent product placement and take a wizz in the pool at the Innocent Online Gym.
06-Oct-2000: I decided to see if we had any competitors, so I looked at a page called "siteoftheday.com". This had a link to "Today's special cat" at catoftheday.com and of course, there's a dogoftheday.com and petoftheday.com. I am not sure of the context of "special" they are using, though I suspect it is as in "special needs" but I have to say, catoftheday.com rates as the most vile, putrid, sickening and repulsive page I have seen in ages, and this coming from someone who saw merit in "cuppycake.com" (see the pageoftheday archives). Oh, whilst you are there, play with the "Pet Poll" you can vote millions of times, it's something to do for a few minutes anyway!
05-Oct-2000: We seem to be in a conspiracy theory mood this month so, in keeping with this, this is a good page that brings together a lot of the "Did we really put men on the moon" stories.
04-Oct-2000: Following the voices in heads page... I thought that since things were quiet I would include a new one I found yesterday when looking for a radio frequency table. If you are a vagrant in Brighton be afraid. This page also contains my quote of the year so remember... "They are impossible to detect unless you have a detector."
03-Oct-2000: Twice in a few weeks, this is a record. Curry (see a few nominations down) has produced a video now! Take a look at it and learn how to pull the woman of your dreams.
25-Sep-2000: Another from Pete Fenelon, I have to wonder where he finds some of these. This page dissapointed me because it made no mention of the only British Motorway with a cattle grid on it. Take a trip along the Major Roads of Great Britain.
18-Sep-2000: Something told me this should be a page of the day. It only qualifies really for one tiny bit but I am afraid such a concept as Ask Dr. Bulb could not go unrecognised.
12-Sep-2000: This one is prime page of the day material - So much so in fact that the page this one built on was a page of the day 4 years ago as well. A little voice in my head told me not to add this one but my new tinfoil helmet soon got rid of that! - Take a peek at: http://www.pro-freedom.co.uk/
08-Sep-2000: Apart from the gorgeous animation at the top, there is absolutely nothing else in the slightest sane about the Mountain Unicycling Page.
27-Aug-2000: It is Sunday and I think we owe it to the world to spread the world of this incredible page. Don't worry Kathleen, the British weather is a bit crap so you don't need to send us free pairs of sandals. (Thanks for this one JP).
26-Aug-2000: I was forced to add this one. It doesn't really meet many of the criteria but the sheer obsessiveness and the fact it's been a slow week qualifies this one anyway. Get ready for an evening in with Teletext.
25-Aug-2000: If this one is serious, it is one of the best personal pages we have had for a long time. Move over Turkish guy because Curry is here and he's after your women! - Alas, it turns out that this page is a fake and was part of some marketing campaign. But what the hell!
23-Aug-2000: I am not sure this one should really follow so soon after the last one, lest you think we are very odd but this page was submitted and it's just wonderful. Unless you are very prudish take an intellectual aside and read some Poetry based on Eskimo mythology.
20-Aug-2000: An unusual page of the day today. This fits the classic model, it is very well written, fascinating and completely off the wall. Don't read this if you are easily offended.
12-Aug-2000: Once more, the church makes Page of the Day... This lot mean business, don't rub them up the wrong way...
09-Aug-2000: I am not too sure what to say about this... I will be watching my back in future though because Dean and Nigel could be anywhere!
08-Aug-2000: Our 1st repeat... L. Fitzgerald Sj�berg's contributions to brunching.com continue to amaze us!
07-Aug-2000: This is one for academics really, the illustrations are jolly, the comments on weighing ape's balls are novel and the page itself has some wonderful reading. If you have a few minutes spare, take a look at: http://www.king.igs.net/~rogersk/mono.htm
18-Jul-2000: I just love the "Other Sign Images" section of this site... http://www.attrition.org/gallery/
13-Jul-2000: I was forced to put this one up by a true seafood fan... Pretty, pink and perverted it's http://www.prawnography.net/
10-Jul-2000: Well, pageoftheday.com is back from the dead and it seems fitting that this lot probably came back out of the dead shortly afterwards as well. Why not whet your appetite with http://www.tdcj.state.tx.us/stat/finalmeals.htm
October 1999: This page shows everything that is wonderful about the Internet. It is hugely "cute", full of animated gifs, has a "special" tune associated with it and what's more is of no interest to anybody except dedicated tat seekers like you and me, deranged old women or this poor child's immediate family. This is 1999's page of the year by a long shot go and look at http://www.cuppycake.com/ and take your sickbag!
17-Sep-1999: I love this! I don't imagine it will last long, but for the time being it is just wonderful. You have to let the sound load too, it's vital for the whole webpage-experience. Take a peek at http://www.oakland.edu/~ksdeleeu/~broncobh/
23-Jul-1999: This is one of those cute web sites that really catches your eye... In terms of technical snazziness. I am sure it will look a bit pants in a few months, but for now http://www.designisdead.com/ is an amazing site.
21-Jul-1999: Should young women (and men!) be a bit confused about dating, sex and whether it is good and proper to use a cattleprod to torture your date the first time you go out... They can find all the answers at http://www.mormons.org/ywc/dates/dates.htm
18-Jul-1999: http://www.brunching.com/categories/category-pagetoys.html - This is truly worthy of being a page of the day. Uncle Hyman is as wise as they come and the Goth Quote generator even comes with sound advice as to how to design a page around it.
16-Jul-1999: http://www.thumbsuckingadults.com/ advertises itself as: "and then Thumb" the TOP SITE for adult thumb suckers... Well it's a top site for something, I'll give it that!
15-Jul-1999: This will have to become my movie review site to reference in the future. Austin Powers, one of my heros has his new movie reviewed at http://www.capalert.com/capreports/austinpowers.htm and really doesn't come out very well at all! Poor Austin, I am sure he will be mortified... Baby.
11-Jul-1999: http://www.geocities.com/FashionAvenue/4069/gallery.html
Meet Dale - Dale is a tad strange. The least said about Dale the better, I think but go and see his page anyway, it is different!
29-Jan-1999: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Bluffs/4157/hampdance.html
Thanks for pointing this one out, Mr Wisner, it is absolutely the best page I have seen this year - Without any doubt at all. This page, minimised, and used in conjunction with the one below provides for hours of web based entertainment! Update in mid 1999 - This one of course proved to be a hit and moved to http://www.hampsterdance.com/
15-Sep-1998: http://www.jeffglover.com/ My web page of the week this week is chosen for entirely the wrong reasons... However, if you use my reasons, rather than the traditional ones, it is one of my best web pages of the week ever!
See the 4 boxes surrounding the chappie on the page? Move your mouse over them.
Now, hum (or play the mp3 of) "Stayin' Alive" or Hot Chocolate's "You Sexy Thing" and wiggle the mouse around...
I think you will have to agree, this is a truly wonderful interactive web page!
08-Sep-1998: http://soliton.physics.arizona.edu/~savin/ram/la-5.html This is nothing less than true love!
00-Aug-1998: http://www.lotuscars.co.uk/products/elisecolour.htm You can play with this one for ages, good job really because the waiting list to get the car is getting longer all the time!
24-Jul-1998: http://www.mcdonalds.com/merchandise/online/mcmemories/ - How could anyone resist this quality stuff!
10-Jul-1998: http://www.airduct-cleaning.com.hk/ - Clean your ducts, Sir?
03-Nov-1997: http://www.theonion.com/onion3212/lovablecockney.html - Big Issue, Sir?
28-May-1997: http://www.moback.com/welcome.html - They have ruined this one now with the banner ads. So it has lost its status as a real "page of the day" now.
15-Apr-1997: http://junior.apk.net/~jbarta/idiot/idiot.html - Another one that has been ruined by a banner advert. What is the point for a few pennies? - I take it back, they have removed the advert! Brill!
13-Feb-1997: http://wwwvoice.com/bud/crazyjoe.html - Wonderful.
20-Dec-1996: http://www.demon.net/news/promotions/christmas97/advent/ - I was behind door 20, but it doesn't work any more, luckily!
Sometime in 1996: http://www.gvi.net/video-u/special.html - "Special Interest Videos" brings to mind lots of different things but these are truly special! This was the web page of the month for ages but don't ask me why! Whilst you are there, take a look at this one too!
Web page of the year, 1996: http://users.herald.net/~valadan/frontpage.html - I think the word is "different". Not my idea of fun but it goes to show that the Internet attracts all sorts of odd people!

Some notes on this page

I don't have a page of the day every day because I don't often spot pages worthy of this. When I do, I shall put them here. There is no formal criteria for a "page of the day" because generally they just leaps out and shout. I have popped "pageoftheday@.." in front of the proper website address just so weird people can track the hits. They work fine like that. (Update after 2004 - I have removed this now to stop the bloody security alerts you get these days... Ah well!)

Unfortunately, it is the nature of these pages of the day that they often don't stay around for very long. I have resisted the temptation to mirror them so once they are gone, they are gone forever. This means that a lot of the links may not work... I may occasionally check to see if they have moved, and put a new link up but that is as far as I will go to preserve these fleeting glimpses of Web history.

If your page features in this and you want a cute little thing to say you got an award, then just write your own or something because we don't have one to give. I hope you like some of these as much as we did. Should you wish to pass these on, try and mention pageoftheday.com so they know where the hits are from (hear that rotten.com?).

Should you wish to nominate a page, mail me at lorry@lorry.com. Make 'em truly worthy though! Since people occasionally ask, the guidelines are roughly as follows:

The pages must be original: These days, a lot of pages try and ride in the wake of a good and original page but when you look closely at them they are really nothing more than publicity seeking shams.
The pages must have some pedigree: It is not sufficient for a page to just appear out of nowhere, unless of course they are something completely new and original.
The pages should hopefully be born out of obsession: The Information Superhammock is the perfect place to share an obsession with a world that generally couldn't give a toss. We do though! We are there for these people. We like missions, the world may not care but we want to hear your story!
They have to make us go "Wow": The longer the pause between taking a breath and going "Wow", the better the page is likely to be.
If not a "Wow", a giggle or an urge to vomit will do: The giggle or vomit factor must not be forgotten.
Anything but the most subtle advertising tends to lose a lot of brownie points.
