 Who hasn’t been tempted to smash your computer to bits?
When it crashes, adopts a ‘go slow’ manner when you’re in a hurry, and loses your data, it takes every bit of resolve not to lash out at your PC. For those of you ready to take just such action, this handy website offers an ‘Illustrated Guide to Breaking Your Computer’.
Tom Murphy VII has put together several creative ways to bust your keyboard, for example, one of which involves a ‘paddle drillbit’. For the monitor, Murphy suggests that trusty of tools: the hammer. A glass cutting tool and crowbar are optional, CHERRIE’s tip: Only do this with an old PC, because even though you may feel better for a few seconds afterwards, trashing your regular computer will only stress you out even more in the long run.

 Too Weird
The beauty of the net is that anyone can set up a site, no matter how odd they are.
But there’s usually a purpose to even the most strange sites. Not so with Weird, a UK website with no particular theme, other than five random links, not all of which make sense. On the home page we are treated to a bizarre-looking creature that may or may not be real, known as ‘Oppression’. Click on ‘Pronunciation Key’ and you get a page of ... well, you tell me! Each to their own and all that, but this site looks like the intelligible ramblings of someone not quite in touch with reality.
But then again, that’s all subjective isn’t it?

Risky Behaviour
We all do stupid things and now you can rest assured that if you die (or nearly die) doing something really daft, you could be forever immortalised on this site.
The Darwin Awards is a “chronicle of enterprising demises: Honoring those who improve the species...by accidentally removing themselves from it”. Take the Sydney man, for example, who risked his life by trying to retrieve pocket change from a stormwater drain and was hit by an SUV. Or the kite surfer who headed to the beach in Spain, despite warnings of storm winds causing widespread flooding and damage to buildings.
The guy unfurled his kite, climbed onto his board and was promptly smashed into buildings on what turned out to be his last ride, ever. Ooops!
