Daniel Rosario

If for some reason, you want to check out the entire screenplay of Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, just visit a site called Pointless Waste of Time.
However, their version has certain comical 'alterations' made in order to prevent copyright violation. Thus, throughout the script, 'Jedi' is written as 'Monkey'!

Likewise:
The word FORCE has been replaced with ASS
The name ANAKIN SKYWALKER is now CHUBBY CLOWNEATER
AMIDALA is now STALLONE
DOOKU is now BLACKULA
YODA is now CAPTAIN GREENCROTCH
PALPATINE is now DR. DICKHOUSE
JAR JAR BINKS is now JAR JAR LARDSTAR
ARTOO DETOO is now MR. ROBOTO MEATFOO
MACE WINDU will now be known as KA-RAAAZY SHAQFU
SITH has been replaced with JEWS
The result is a script that reads like this --
PADME gives DORME a last hug. CHUBBY picks up the luggage, and the TWO PEASANTS exit the speeder bus, where MR. ROBOTO is waiting for them.
OBI-WAN:
"May the Ass be with you."
CHUBBY:
"May the Ass be with you, Master."
Pointless Waste of Time, 'intended for mature audiences', also has features like 50 reasons why Lord Of The Rings sucks and an Interactive Fiction section that lets you solve mysteries yourself!
Gender Test
"Guys and girls are different in ways only we realise," claims TheSpark, "In fact, without asking about your clothes, grooming, or chest, our Gender Test will predict, with 100% accuracy, whether you're a guy or a girl."
Your gender is determined according to your answers to a series of questions each offering two options. Don't expect any easy answers though… I really got stuck at 'Would you rather fall to your death or drown?' My preferred answer ('neither') was clearly not an option!
So how do they guess? Well, they throw in some red herrings like 'Does Canada suck or what?' where the options are 'yes' and 'yeah', but interspersed are questions that could give them clues. For instance: 'Stop and think about your middle name for a second. Does it end with a vowel?' More often than not, girls' names end with vowels.
Then comes the sneaky 'Do you usually carry stuff in your pockets?', which will actually tell them if you have pockets or not. And most men's wear does.
'Which is better, a happy ending or a total surprise?' could be based on yet another generalisation: that men prefer suspense while women like a happy end.
And as most of the questions appear to stem from vague suppositions, don't be too hard on yourself if they tell you you're the opposite sex!

Reading Toes
While TheSpark tells you your gender, this site claims to "analyse personalities and behaviour patterns by interpreting the position and shape of toes".
Simple logic is involved in such analysis. For instance, one claim is that those with crooked toes wilt under societal pressure and tend to 'walk a line others have drawn'. They derive this conclusion in the following way: 'It is often said that bad feet and crooked toes have been caused by poorly fitting shoes. That is no doubt true, but a willingness to wear poorly fitting shoes tells more about the person than about their shoes. Such people accept the dictates of fashion and pay less attention to comfort. The acceptance of pressure from the outside (also from poorly fitting shoes) symbolises the behaviour of someone who conforms to what others say.'
So what do your toes say about you? Find out!
How much is Inside?
Exactly how much fizz is in a bottle of Coca-Cola?
How many fries could you expect in a medium, large or extra-large order at Burger King?
If you've pondered over such questions while buying a product, you could get a few answers at this site. People at cockeyed.com have analysed a range of products to see how much they have inside. Though America-centric, it's still quite interesting.
After careful yet amusing tests, they discovered that a large order of french fries had just three pieces more than a medium one. So you know know which one to buy!
