: SAVE B3TA
Send us your money.
On 21st March 2002 B3ta will die - unless we
can raise enough money to pay for another years
worth of bandwidth.
We don't want this to happen, and we hope that
you don't too.
We need you to send what you can afford,
10 or 20 quid would be nice.
You can pay with palpay or send a cheque.

B3TA SALUTES - the computer specialist who
operated an Internet sex site on a U.S. army
network. He claimed he needed the bandwidth
for communicating with forces in Bosnia.

: EXPLODING BUNNIES
You helped fund this. It's all your fault.
A few weeks ago we asked you to buy Rathergood
merchandise to raise funds for Joel Veitch so
that he could buy enough explosives to blow up
a stuffed bunny.
Joel says, "The response was fantastic. I've
now sold about 50 items, including 2 pairs
of boxer shorts with crabs on them."
"As promised", he continues, "I've documented
my terrorism on the web. Oh and I'm still
looking to sell more stuff so that I can blow
up a penguin."

: BLIND MAN'S PENIS
It's erect because he's blind.
In 1976 bored teenager John Trubee saw an add
in paper, asking for songwriters.
"Wouldn't it be fun", he thought, "to send
these people the most ridiculous, stupid,
vile, obscene, retarded lyrics to see their
response?"
And that's what he did. And the laconic reading
of the song the company returned was fantastic.
Listen.
