Tangent: what’s your favorite odd web site?

<p>There used to be this comedy site called Ming The Merciless. It was themed mainly around the 1980 Flash Gordon film, but there were many other 70s Sci Fi references there too. </p><p><br></p><p>It was built with state of the art circa 2000 HTML with a touch of Flash. Not much animation, save for a few pages, making it more like a slideshow of these bizarre, goofy things. </p><p><br></p><p>Cornelius from “Planet of the Apes” was cast as Breakfast Chimp, and he with cigarette in hand and an ascot around his neck presented “Mystery Nimbus”. An edited audio track from the trailer for “Mystery Island”.</p><p><br></p><p>The head of General Zod from the ‘78 Superman film was used to replace the cockpit of TIE Fighters from Star Wars. There would be fleets of them in the background on some pages. One page generated popups of the Zod TIE Fighter.</p><p><br></p><p>And let’s not forget…</p><p><br></p><p>… BORE WORMS!!! ?</p><p><br></p><p>Look that one up.</p>
