World's Smallest Chameleon



The Brookesia Minima is the world's smallest species of chameleon. This one is just half an inch. Found on the rainforest floor of Nosy Be Island off the north-west coast of Madagascar, females tend to be larger than males.

Weird Furniture

Here's some of the weird furniture I've found on the web. If a link is available, the image and name will be hyperlinked.

Strange Bench



Sheep Chair (can you say, "B-a-a-a-?")



A Couch You Mow?




Can you say, "Mooooooooooo?" I kinda like this one.



Don't laugh. The lady who created The Hamburger Bed says it's the most comfortable bed she's ever owned and this now-famous bed has its own Facebook page and thousands of "fans."



The Dollhouse Bed - the picture is here, but I can't find this bed's niche on that website. I would have LOVED this bed when I was little.




The Cinderella Fantasy Coach Bed will only set you back a mere $47,000.


I think this mini-office-into-a-bed thing would be perfect for a college dorm room.



The Perfect Reading Chair


Patriotic Sofa made from car parts



It sort of looks like a rocking chair, doesn't it? This is a Sculpted Chair by artist David Delthony.

The Yuckiest Site on the Internet


















"The Yuckiest Site on the Internet" is a fabulous place geared for kids but interesting and fun even for adults. The main entry page (first image above) allows you to navigate to several destinations (other images above).
Want to know all about snot and boogers and bad breath and hiccups and more fascinating facts about your body? Check out the "Your Gross and Cool Body" section.
Play the "Toxic Waste" game or try a "Creepy Craft" or "Revoltin' Recipe" or "Unusual Activities" or "Icky Experiments" in the Yucky Fun & Games Lab.
Ask Wendell crams in "everything you could want to know about science." This should prove to be highly disturbing... and that's fun.
Worm World and Roach World are all about... you guessed it... worms and roaches.

World's Largest Collection of Navel Lint


Certifiable by the Guiness Book of World Records

Wow. From the guy himself: "Some people gaze into their navel for inspiration: I look into mine and see navel fluff. Also known as navel lint, it is that fascinating fluffy substance that forms mysteriously in the belly buttons of special people. I've been collecting navel fluff (just my own) since 1984, and upon learning of this, people usually ask "Why?". To this I answer "Why not?". In my mind, the worth of any collection depends on the following factors..."
