Pretty well says it all.

Here I’ve listed some of my favorites. The full list is available at money.cnn.com.

2. Northwest Airlines
In July, bankrupt Northwest Airlines begins laying off thousands of ground workers, but not before issuing some of them a handy guide, “101 Ways to Save Money.”

The advice includes dumpster diving (”Don’t be shy about pulling something you like out of the trash”), making your own baby food, shredding old newspapers for use as cat litter, and taking walks in the woods as a low-cost dating alternative.

3. McDonald’s
In August, McDonald’s runs a promotional contest in Japan in which it gives away 10,000 Mickey D’s-branded MP3 players.

The gadgets come preloaded with 10 songs - and, in some cases, a version of the QQPass family of Trojan horse viruses, which, when uploaded to a PC, seeks to capture passwords, user names, and other data and then forward them to hackers.

So, once again Ann Coulter has opened her giant, hate spouting mouth on national television. You can find the info here:

In short she has said that all Jewish people should be “perfected” to Christianity. Not ok.

We’ll give you $1000 if you send us a video of you pelting Ann Coulter with bagels. You’ve got 1 week. Get moving people.

If you heard about it here first and win, I expect you to let us post the video up on the Drunken Pumpkin after having received your winnings from Bragster.com.

In a battle of stick figures, who wins? In this flash game, it all depends on what you name the figures. Uses the number of hits a keyword or set of keywords get when googled. I found it funny to watch Bela Lugosi beat the stick-figure-snot out of Lon Chaney.

If you come up with an entertaining combination, please come back and post it in the comments here. I found that Superman beats Spiderman and that Darth Vader beats Luke Skywalker yet loses to Yoda.

Have found a site called Funny Or Die that was founded by Garry Sanchez Productions, a firm for which Will Ferrell is a co-owner with Adam McKay. The premiere video on the site is “The Landlord”.

So that everyone is forewarned, the video does contain strong language.

This guy created a text file and filled it with statements like, “This program does nothing at all.”

He then changed the file type to an .exe (executable), and submitted it to a number of shareware software sites.

His program has received awards from 16 sites so far, while only 3 sites contacting him back regarding the bogus program.

His full accounting of this Internet experiment, as well as the names of the sites that actually looked at what had been submitted, are available at SuccessfulSoftware.net
