Low Lai Chow Contributor

By Low Lai Chow in New Trends on Wednesday 3 April 2013

Public librarians in Michigan, Mary Kelly and Holly Hibner, have been holding the book fort for over a decade and know a thing or two about awful library books.

These unfortunate ads are too funny to go unnoticed, and thankfully the best of the best are compiled online for your viewing pleasure. We dare you to look at these without laughing.

Gus the Fox Twitter news feed

Low Lai Chow Contributor

By Low Lai Chow in Cool Websites on Tuesday 1 May 2012

Astute observations about life (‘Trying to explain what a harpsichord is to a worm. Waste of time”). Escapades that range from the banal (“Feeding gammon to a poorly falcon’) to the surreal (‘Sucking noodles off a whore’s pyjamas’). He’s a bit of a scallywag, this Gus. But you’ve got to love a fox with attitude.

This Cat is Not LOLing

By Merzipan in Cool Websites on Thursday 28 April 2011

Cat-haters, or those simply too jaded by a lifetime of LOLcats, will get a kick out of this site, which wryly refuses to be wowed by any degree of feline adorability. But then, cat worshippers like myself will also enjoy the site, as it is still full of cats n’ kittens.

The tagline on the This Is Indexed blog says that its little graphical representations of interesting or funny everyday correlations are published ‘weekday mornings as the coffee brews’.
