Title: Strange & Funny Things We've Seen
Post by: DaveMorton on September 24, 2012, 14:41:35 PM
I'm sure we've all come across things on the web that have been entertainingly strange or odd,and I thought it would be cool to share some of those things with each other; and what better place to do so than right here?

For example, have you ever Google'd the word "askew"? Try it. :) I laughed for over 5 minutes straight when I did.

Never seen that before, I am glad Google has a sense of humour.  ;D

Oh, I'm VERY familiar with Google's sense of humour. Every year on April first, they've published some sort of "off the wall" article, meant as a prank, that described and/or outlined some outlandish idea or another. This page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Google%27s_hoaxes_and_easter_eggs) outlines the various pranks and "easter eggs" that Google has passed on to us over the years. :)

Doesn't do anything for me. I've read the post saying what it should do.

Snowy, which web browser are you using? It may make a difference.

{In the off chance that others can't see it, either, here's a screenshot of the page in Google Chrome}

I was with Snowy, didn't really get it in IE9 :scratch-head:, seen it in Chrome now  :LOL:

Nice to see a humorous side to the Internet God.

Sorry but my eyes immediately went to the words and definitions and saw nothing wrong, then after a little  :scratch-head:, I backed away a little and laughed at the "tilted screen" I was able to fix it by placing a few match packs under the edge of my monitor and now it's level once more!

Good one Dave!

Thanks, Art, but I can't take the credit, as it was pointed out to me. I'm just spreading the smiles, so to speak. :)

This is one of the strangest things I've seen, a picture of Mutley with an odd beam of light, ok its probably some kind of reflection from his silver bowl but strange all the same.
