 : GIANT BEE
   A fantastic song and animated movie.
   The two greatest talents on the Web have finally
   got together to work on the same project. Joel
   from Rathergood, and Nicecupofteaandsitdown's
   Stuart Payne have created "The Giant Bee".
 
   It's quite wonderful.
  
   "Joel wrote the Giant Bee song some time ago
   with his brother Alex", says Stuart, "it's
   really infectious - I've been humming it
   constantly for the last 8 weeks."
   "After I heard it I had most of the ideas for
   the movie. It then took me about 2 months
   to put it all together."
   Watch and listen - if there was any justice
   in the world this would be the Christmas
   Number 1.

   Bee Fact: Bee's have huge cocks. In proportion
   to its body size, the genitalia of a drone bee
   are among the largest of any animal on earth.

 : GALLERY OF WEIRD IMAGES ... TWO!
  
   On the B3ta site, nice people upload and make
   their own images. Recently, board member AndyK
   compiled some of these pictures into a
   flash gallery. This was so successful that
   he's decided to follow it up.
   "It's in the style of TV artist Tony Hart",
   says AndyK, "I've always been a big fan of his
   and can only hope to be a tenth of the man
   he is."
 Sit back and enjoy.

 Or step back in time and first the first gallery.

   (BTW: We are attempting to interview Tony Hart
   at the moment - his manager emailed us & said
   "Dear boy! Do you want miracles? He spent
   yesterday at the Abbey with the Children of
   Courage.")
 -------------------------------------------------
   Bee Fact: Sex kills bees. The force of a
   drone bees' ejaculation makes the head of his
   penis drop off. This acts as a plug to stop his
   semen from dripping out.

   Bee Fact: Some people use bee stings to
   extend their orgasms. Perverts.

 : SITES IN BRIEF
   Other stuff we've liked this week.
   Bejeweled - it's the most addictive game we've
   ever played. There is also a PalmPilot version
   which is an essential for train journeys.

   Google have archived all the Internet newsgroup
   postings since 1981. Superb fun - it's a like
   having a time machine.

   Kazoo songs - fantastic pop music played on the
   kazoo. The creator is looking for people to
   make flash videos to accompany his music.
   Go on - give him a hand.

   Bee Fact: Some bees are gay. If you place two
   queen bees together they will normally fight
   to the death. However, they have been
   occasionally observed making sweet tender love.
