Few things are more prosaic than a urinal. Functional, utilitarian,
and decidely unglamorous, the urinal stands alone or beside its
comrades in the men's restroom. We'll leave the bathroom humor
behind, but this engrossing photographic essay journeys into the
world of urinals, taking you places you never imagined you might
go. For instance, the marble-filled world of The Bellagio, or the
metallic modern design of the Swiss Autobahn or even, yes, dare we
say it, Yahoo!. There's even a handy Top Ten, if you'd like to
visit some of the world's number-one examples. Bathroom pictorials
aren't exactly everyone's cup of tea, so stay away if you're the
squeamish type. One final word to the wise -- avoid the troughs at
Candlestick Park.


and the Pynchon fave:

The Brady Bunch Hour

	http://www.bradyhour.com/

TV shows come and go. For every "Friends", there are hundreds of
shows that fade into obscurity, barely registering a blip on the
TV radar. However, some shows sink to new depths of dreadfulness,
so incredibly awful that they need to be memorialized and never
forgotten. "The Brady Bunch Hour" falls smack dab into this category.
Conceived as a song-dance-sketch variety hour featuring the cast
of the long-canceled sitcom, the resulting cornball nightmare is
sure to give you the creeps. This site delves into the horror of
a show that featured a "fake Jan," frightful '70s fashion sense,
Rip Taylor, and a musical medley chock full of show tunes that
closed out each hour. All nine episodes are thoughtfully outlined
and supplemented by an exhaustive photo gallery and a collection
of news articles. It's a sunshine day, indeed.
