Flying cows
Don't know about you, but I've seen many a cow flying through the air after a late night out. But now I can see them flying when sober at this website. Click on the catapult and try to hit the centre of the bullseye with one of the smiling cows. Have a go.

Death by Acting
Whether they've committed suicide by jumping into a blast furnace (Sigourney Weaver in Alien3) or had their heart ripped out by a horribly disfigured Robert De Niro (Helena Bonham Carter in Frankenstein), an actress's on-screen death is likely to be catalogued at the devilishly detailed Cinemorgue.

Sky News Update!
Sky has just won the rights to screen the World Origami Championships from Tokyo. Unfortunately it's only available on paper view. ITV Digital did have the rights, but they folded.
Bizzare bands
Popstars and their bands haven't always looked as snappily dressed as Gareth Gates or Kylie. In fact you'll find it hard to believe what some of the bands at this fabulous site are wearing.

Not only does Ryan Giggs suffer by playing for Premiership no-hopers Man United (trophy count last season = 0), but now he's got to watch England do the business in the World Cup while the Welsh team take their holidays. Still, Giggsy won't sit still for long and you can see him act out some of the goals so far here.

It's game over for Playstation monkey
