Rebirthing pure browsing via randomness...

Posted February 27, 2001 3:13 PM.

I've been playing with my Surprise Me bookmarklet over at the Google Directory in an attempt to experience some parts of the internet that I wouldn't normally think of going to. My particular favourite random destinations so far have been: Yahoo! Clubs: nosprogs ("Welcome to the club that actively opposes squirting out spawn..."), Chowbaby's restaurant guide (with possibly the strangest logo of all time) and a recipe for Baked Ham with a Secret Glaze (somewhat oxymoronic considering that it tells you how to make said Glaze). It's a refreshing approach to the internet - rebirthing pure browsing as a recreational activity.
