   We are utterly stupid - and often mishear song
   lyrics as something entirely different.
   "Like a Bat Out of Hell" = "Like a Battery
   Chicken" - you know the type of thing.
   B3ta member Joel Veitch - creator of The
   Frightened Boy - has recently been exploring
   this area to great effect with his "Simply
   Red having Sex with a Rabbit" series of
   animations.
   So we joined up with him to make some more...
 -------------------------------------------------

   Joel & B3ta have been swearing at the

   fun.

 : B3TA CHALLENGE - WINNER
   .. Photoshop this penguin ..
   We have been having a lot of fun on the B3ta
   message board this week. We challenged our
   friends to take a picture of a baby penguin
   and mess it up in Photoshop.
   See the results:

   Germany - and once won a Bloggie award for his
   "disturbing search requests" web site.)
 -------------------------------------------------
 : B3TA CHALLENGE - NEW ONE
   .. Photoshop this Echidna ..
   This week we have a new challenge,
   Photoshop this Echidna.
   (BTW: an Echidna is small australian mammal
   related to the Platypus.)

   Remember - this isn't about artistic
   excellence - but about making a little
   gag.
 -------------------------------------------------
 : PYGMY SHREW NEWS
   .. Sting the little bastard - until he dies.
   Pox - the guys behind the heavily forwarded
   Pygmy Shrew animation - have put up a fun
   new "activity."
   It's a cute little animation where you can
   click on the shrew and sting him with a bee.
   Go on - kill him:

 : LINK OF THE WEEK
   .. World Trade Center Game
   There have been a lot of games created
   about the WTC Disaster, and almost
   all have them have been unplayable and
   in poor taste.
   This game breaks the mold - it's actually
   good - a variation on the classic arcade
   game Missile Command. 
   (But it's still in poor taste...)
 
   Play it:
