Newsletter 57 is out - our favourite thing this week? It's the P45 Roulette. We dare you to play it in YOUR office. We want you to get sacked. Why? We're evil. Ha ha ha ha ha. Oh - and there's a Weebl special too - rounding up his non Pie related work. It's good stuff.

Paul Mathis wants you to drive him insane. His website allows you to turn the lights and computers in his house on and off, or force him to listen to Aqua or The Hamsterdance. I suspect he's already insane.

An extremely sinister clown. Willard Scott played the part of the very first Ronald McDonald. His 'Never talk to strangers' TV ad should have every parent frightened.

Do you know this girl? - here's the story. Chappy goes on holiday. Chappy meets girl. Chappy sticks her photo on the net and asks her to get in touch. This link is getting a bit of attention so the technique might just work. Feel a bit sorry for the girl tho - she's way out of his league.

A first hand account of playing Soggy Biscuit - This game requires the players to masturbate on a biscuit and for the last to ejaculate to eat the result. It was thought to be a urban legend, but this account suggests otherwise. BTW: This read is a bit icky but quite interesting.

When the Simpsons met Pulp Fiction. The legend goes that animators working on The Simpsons compiled a series of drawings depicting the show's characters acting out the entire Pulp Fiction script. A few examples are now online.

Magic Sand is amazing. When you pour it into water it doesn't become wet and can be moulded into shapes. Can we have some please?

Hold The Button - Touch the Truck comes to the web in this brilliantly simple "how long can you hold the button" game. It's quite dull to play - but I like the idea of watching others suffer.

B3ta interviewed Neil Cicierega about his brilliant Animutations way back in Newsletter #4. He's still producing great work, and Earth vs. Funk is his latest. It's fantastic. You'll find more of Neil's productions here.

FHM magazine's 100 greatest websites in The World. B3ta is listed in the 'Ten Minute Waster' section? Only 10 minutes? Bah! What do they know? (Rob says, "Good list, spoiled by clunky nav. Duh!")

Escape into another dimension. I suspect that surfing the Web under the influence of LSD would be something like this site. It's bonkers.

Remember Dancing Paul? Creator Paul Stroot has upped the ante with Create Bands, where anyone can build a virtual pop outfit, then sit back as they jam mercilessly.

Harry Potter toy is a VIBRATOR - as Amazon review points out, "The broomstick has cute sound effects and ***VIBRATES*** when they put it between their legs to fly. Come on---what were the creators of this toy thinking? She'll keep playing with the Nimbus 2000, but with the batteries removed."

Find out how often a number appears on the Internet. Given the apparent dullness of the subject matter, this is actually quite absorbing.

Visits to the Post Office never used to be this exciting. You might want to turn the sound down if you're at work, although then it won't be funny.

Vote for the best B3ta song - for the last couple of months, board memeber Koit has been writing songs inspired by stuff people have posted on the board. He's now got 30 of the buggers - and wants you to vote for the ones for his album. He's also looking for a design for the cover - email your ideas to graige@hotmail.com (oh, and shove them on the board so we can all see.)
