The Return of SFYA
Katie Tandler | Life Section Manager

1/05/02

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to the beginning of a second season's worth of Submitted For Your Approval. For those of you who are new to this segment, SFYA is a means of peering into the depths of web-based insanity to bring you sites and such that will make you either sratch your head in confusion or laugh your butt off. We've got a host of new discoveries for you to feast your eyes upon, brought to you by some of our intrepid staff members (as well as a few outside sources of my own). We kick off this season's run with a few really strange ones, all highly reccommended (though not without a few warnings attached). So, without further ado, let the madness begin.

Onward!

THIS WEEK'S ODDITIES:

(In order to see some of these, you may have to go here and download Flash Player and/or Shockwave Player.)


Hawking vs. the Pope

The age-old "who would win" debate taken to a whole new level.


France Five

..I can't think of a way to describe this without spoiling it. Once you get there, though, I'd suggest checking out the character and story pages at the very least...


Insanity Test


A lot of pop-ups with this one, but it's goofy enough to make it worth your while. I think just about everyone on the staff who's taken it has failed.

Keep in mind that these are simply points to ponder in the vast conglomeration of so-called "web waste". They're not meant to be taken seriously. Feel free to comment, and be sure to vote on which one is the weirdest.

For those with the bandwidth and hard-drive space, I strongly suggest watching at least one episode of France Five.. Steve and I saw both last night, and they're hilarious... in that 'oh my god that's so bad' kinda way... yayy foreign backyard films... woot!

Not everyone failed the insanity test....for some inexplicable reason, I passed. I thought for sure I was absolutely certifiable. Oh well, guess I have to start acting sane now.....grrr
