What you willl find here is an ever changing list of neat stuff that I have found, that really doesn't fit into the charter of The Jumpgate, but that I would feel amiss should I overlook it. 

You will find assorted things, that I stumble on from time-to-time, that I consider exceptionally....Funny, Well Designed, AND With Content, Weird, or Outstanding in some other way..  THERE IS NO GUARANTEE That This Will Remain Static for any Length of Time

Online Irritant Number 16,009

We all know how irritating it is when we get one of those recorded "Your Call is Very Important To Us ..." messages. It's especially irritating when they don't even give you a chance to leave a message, but tell you to try again later. Couldn't they at least pretend to take a message, even if they plan to ignore it?

VONAGE just brought this 20th Century telephone irritation into 21st Century E-Mail.

New Red Green Show The Official Internet home of the New Red Green Show

The New Red Green Show is a unique half-hour comedy series targeted at family audiences. Its purpose is to entertain and to provide an escape from the pressures of urban living.

Set way up North at the infamous Possum Lodge, The New Red Green Show is a hilarious insight into men, their dreams, and their obsessions. It's a show for anyone who thinks God created man to give the rest of the world something to laugh at!

The Eggman's Comments:

If You EVER Wanted 10,000 uses for Duct Tape, Watch the Red Green Show. This is one of those TV Shows that a lot of Women Hate. (Like the Three Stooges, Marx Brothers, Married With Children, the Simpsons, and anything else that I like.)

The site lives up to the show's credo . . .

"If The Women Don't Find You Handsome, At Least Let Them Find You Handy."

Ever Wonder Where the Coyote Gets That Neat Stuff He Uses to Irritate the Road Runner? 
"The Acme Trading Company was founded in 1874 by my great grandfather, Henrik Acme, who began his career as an itinerant peddler in Copenhagen. My great grandfather noticed that buyers often preferred heavier items to lighter ones, believing that large, heavy objects were somehow intrinsically higher in quality. This principle still guides our firm today." 

At Acme, you'll find such exciting items as The Utah Teapot, The Gumball Grinder, Full Contact Ski Gloves and Frump Boots.

The Museum of Unnatural Mystery - a slightly bizarre, cyberspace, science museum for all ages. Are there really flying saucers? What killed the dinosaurs? Is there something ancient and alive in Loch Ness? The Museum takes a scientific look at these, and other, questions. Feel free to wander the halls and make some serendipitous discoveries.

The Museum of Forbidden Archeology - "If we imagine the history of humanity as giant museum, containing all knowledge on this topic, then we shall find that several of the rooms of this museum have been locked. Scientists have locked away the facts that contradict the generally accepted picture of history. Michael A. Cremo and Richard L. Thompson have, however, opened many of the locked doors and allowed laymen as well as scientists to see inside. Even scientists have been influenced, and rightly so. The Hidden History of the Human Race compels the world of science to enter new territories and calls into question many revered theories about humanity and human history."
-Walter J. Langbein, PARA Magazine, Austria

Explore the galleries of Forbidden Archeology. Exhibits will change periodically, so be sure to surf on back for another anomalous excursion!

The Author of An Old Farts Guide to the 21st Century Says . . .

    "According to one eminent authority there are three stages of life, callow youth (which starts with youth and for a lot of people lasts all their life), old fart, and revered sage (not a lot of folks get this far, in fact many of those looked upon as revered sages are just callow youths who have reached an advanced stage of decrepitude.) "

    "The artist isn't a special kind of person, but every person is a special kind of artist. The one bit of artistry that everyone shares is storytelling. We are all storytellers, but each in his own way. My stories are told in wood and stone, in poetry and prose, and through standup storytelling. My Old Fart's guide is a diary of sorts, which I hope will offer some help as we seek to follow the story of our lives. "
