No Comments on Weird Graves and Tombstones

Those of you who are slightly morbid should love these weird graves and tombstones. Some of them are very clever, including the Scrable one, the Yoda one, the weird asian “wok” joke on the dog one and more.

Go look, it’s very worth your time.

No Comments on Winner of the Weird Links Contest

We’ve come to an end of our lovely weird links contest and it’s now my responsibility to share the links, the winners and all that good stuff.

There were 5 total links submitted, ranging from seriously just bizzare to exceptionally disturbing. Personally, I liked them all. Since there can be only winner though, I have chosen the one that not only has some of the most pointless and strange, yet wannabe political, content I have ever seen, it also has the distinction of having one of the most stupid and just bizzare URLs ever. Honestly, it was a close call and having that domain address helped it pull into the lead. So without further ado, I give you the winner, “Arnold Sailormoongger” submitted by Naskar. You now are the proud owner of a copy of Choke.
