| You
know that there are interesting websites out there,
but where? Look no further! Every two weeks we round
up our top 10 weird, wonderful
and useful websites. Some of the chosen sites have
been in the news, some are just trusty favourites
and all are worth a visit. Usually, but not always,
#10 is a quite sensible website, progressing to
a very silly #1 website...

Paul Daniels! www.pauldaniels.co.uk
"Did
you Know? Paul and Debbie own a 1930 mahogany
and elm canoe.It's not for exercise because it
is too big and heavy to paddle being 7.5 metres
long and seating 7 adults. It runs for 8 hours
on its batteries because it is electric. Just
over a year ago Paul renamed it The Lovely Debbie
McGee and Debbie has only just got over the shock."

Sex blogger: http://girlwithaonetrackmind.blogspot.com/
Zoe
Williams has been in the news a lot recently...
"Ten
days ago, I was a nobody. A 33 year-old London
woman working in the film industry, trying to
juggle a decent social life with a career. Nothing
special there. I just happen, over the last two
years, to have written a detailed sex diary on
the internet, which has had over 2m visitors and
was recently published as a book. It was, as they
say on the Net, decidedly "Not Safe for Work"."
8) Web agony aunt Bubby... www.myspace.com/helpmebubby
“Bubby
is our 90 year old grandmother.
A few years ago we introduced her to the internet
and we've been getting daily e-mails from her
ever since. When she was 87, we began this website.
We now believe she is the oldest blogger on the
Internet."
7) Send in your to do lists - www.todolistblog.com/
Quite
revealing...
All
these todo lists... the lady who's going to to
do sit ups every day before getting pregnant and
eat her vitamins, and pay off her credit cards...
Or
the last days of high school... list... study
spanish... find hamlet book... wear the strappy
heels on Friday...

Life on mars… marsrovers.nasa.gov
In
January 2004, the americans landed two robot rovers
on Mars - called Spirit and Opportunity. They've
been driving around very slowly and doing experiments
and taking photos ever since... see the photos
on this site... fascinating.
4)
Around the world with John Otway: www.OTair.co.uk/
So
now's time for his greatest stunt... he wanted
a world tour... but realised he couldn't afford
it... so he chartered his own Airbus 340 and decided
to circumnavigate the globe - hoping he can get
300 fans to cover costs and play the world's great
venues.
3)
Photos of angry cats: www.mycathatesyou.com/
Started
in 2000, they proudly present to you the largest
collection of sour-faced, indignant felines on
the internet.
2)
Very odd: www.cryingwhileeating.com/
Very
odd. It's a site full of 30 second short films
of people crying while eating. There's Jeff eating
vanilla yogurt and crying because his cat bit
him on the toe.
1) A star is born... : www.youtube.com
There's
a website called YouTube in which people post
videos onto - usually it's teenagers - 100 million
video clips are watched their every day.
But
a softly spoken, maybe even slightly lonely, widower,
79 year old Peter has attracted a cult following
- his are some of the most watched video clips.
He's from the Midlands, UK, lives alone, and he
grumbles gently about his life while playing blues
records. He posted his first video a week ago
and it attracted 6000 comments.
"It's
great that someone from your generation has chosen
to share their views on life" wrote one fan...
A star is born...
