CNPS
Consecutive Number Plate Spotting is a very, very silly game.

This could get very, very silly. -

Keep Away From Fire

Keep Away From Fire
Yeah; no shit - that's my knob we're talking about. Like I need a warning. -
Andy’s Dingbats Challenge
Remember my dingbats challenges? (challenge 1, answers; challenge 2, answers) Well; Andy took my engine and made one of his own, which I forgot to link to earlier. Anyway, go take it if you like, but the answers are probably out by now.

Dan’s Dingbats Challenge I
Think you can think laterally: think again!
Remember Dingbats, that board game with the cards with the phrases on them, expressed through cleverly laid-out words and pictures (a bit like Catch Phrase, that old TV show [is that still running]). Well, anyway, it involves pictures a bit like this:

Aarne-Thompson Folktale Classification System
Would you know it: there's an "opposite number" to the Dewey Decimal System (introduction to the system [PDF]) - which for the most part of a centurey has been used to categorise books according to their topic and content - for categorising folk tales: the Aarne-Thompson Classification System.
It's horrendously difficult to find information on it … -
Seymore Butts
Is this actor real? Seymore Butts (say it out loud) is listed on the IMDb, director of such films as Anal Surprise Party, Female Ejaculation Review, and Tongue In Cheeks, as well as over 60 other films. Also performed in 50 films... most of which don't have an IMDb score...

The Starling
I have a hard time believing that this story is true: it's just too crazy - but the photos are good and hard to forge without more resources than your average internet prankster. So, here's the tale as it was told to me...
