He's made a short song and animation to celebrate this. It's unsophisticated but has its own peculiar charm. http://www.glastonbridge.co.uk/flash/donkey.swf >> Simon Le Bon << Bloody hell - B3ta boarder LittleBean was reading a 1980 copy of the casting magazine Spotlight and came across this entry for Duran Duran singer Simon Le Bon. Apparently Simon sings and dances. We like it because his mouth looks really gammy. Big eyebrows too. http://www.baker-street.net/archives/00000025.htm >> Pillow Dance Thing << Gosh Weebl has been busy this week. Not only more pie, but he's made this lovely toy where you can make a pillow dance using your mouse. Weebl says, "My pillow is dancing to the Mouse on Mars track 'Actionist Respoke'. The dancing is based on my own dancing. I've learnt all my moves from playing Dance Revolution on the Playstation." http://www.weebl.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/b3ta/pillow.... >> CrapWest << B3ta reader James Kane is annoyed with his bank. He's started a small website and wants you to email him your bad experiences with your bank. There's not much on the site yet - but we're pretty sure that you can change that. http://www.crapwest.com ------------------------------------------------- : HOW TO SPEND YOUR MONEY THIS WEEK Remote control car with video camera. What more can we say? It's a radio controlled car with a video camera on it. There's a little screen on the controller. You can see what the car sees - if it had eyes. It costs £199 and we want one. http://makeashorterlink.com/ ------------------------------------------------- : SITES IN BRIEF Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates. >> Dog Dolls << Artist Lisa Pay makes dolls with dogs heads. They are disturbing and made us flinch - although they are meant to be cute. http://www.pedigreesroyal.com/Dollydogs.htm >> Change the taste of your semen << Sweet Release is a dietary supplement that will change the scent and taste of your semen. The site claims that "your semen will change from an unpleasant salty flavour to a delicious apple flavour." Does anybody fancy trying this out and getting back to us? http://makeashorterlink.com/ >> Penis Gallery << Satoki Nishida is a Japanese artist who takes photos of his penis dressed in dolls costumes. Some of them are in dresses and they actually look quite sweet. http://makeashorterlink.com/ >> Scan your arse and send it to Rambo's mum << Why? 'Cause she'll tell you your future - Yep. You heard right. For the bargain price of $100 too. Is this the most tragic celebrity cash in ever? Graham Norton - are you reading this? Phone this woman now! http://www.jacquelinestallone.com/reportsDocs/rump... >> Rate my Implants << The rate my x trend continues with this variation where you can look at women's breast implants and vote whether the surgeon has done a convincing job. BTW: a quick search on netcraft domain monitoring site shows that there are 425 ratemy sites registered. http://www.ratemyimplants.com >> Jet Powered Beer Cooler << Beer loving Kiwi Simon Jansen has built a beer cooler powered with a jet engine. The photos are great. Sadly this cooler doesn't fit into the back of his new car and he wants you to give him a spare turbo - if you have one. http://www.asciimation.co.nz/beer/ ------------------------------------------------- : BOOTLEG MP3 OF THE WEEK Will Smith - Nod Ya Head (Mr Trick Lust for Aliens Mix) Each week we talk to the_dr at Boom Selection about his current favourite bootleg track. the_dr writes - "Something nice for the sunshine: a bootleg megamix of Will Smith's latest rap over the top of classic rock riffs, loops and beats. Black Sabbath, Led Zep, Iggy Pop, AC/DC, Cypress Hill and The Fugees: wow. The best bootleg I've heard for months." http://www.punkbreakz.force9.co.uk/audio/lustforal... ------------------------------------------------- : B3TA IMAGE CHALLENGE Results from "Cute" Challenge Each week we run a competition to test your creative skills. We set a challenge and you open Photoshop and mess with our heads. Last week we wanted you to make the cutest thing in the history of cuteness. http://b3ta.com/challenge/cutestimageintheworld/ We asked B3ta boarder Your Mum to judge the entries - here are his 3 faves. Your Mum writes - #1 "Nurse Kitten with pig tails - stomach thumpingly cute. (jboom) http://www.b3ta.com/board/2/1/9/5/5/7/ #2 "Multi-eyed kitten - It may be ugly, but its really trying to be our friend (Mc) http://www.b3ta.com/board/2/2/6/1/3/4/ #3 "Mouse bouncing on kitten - Respect to both parties for overcoming their differences to bring us 61k of cute. (Indole Ring) http://www.b3ta.com/board/2/2/6/5/8/8/ >> This Week's Challenge << This week, B3ta contributor Monkeon gave us the suggestion, "what's the 8th wonder of the world?" http://b3ta.com/challenge/eighthwonder/ ------------------------------------------------- : STAR IN NEXT WEEK'S ISSUE Make something cool and tell us about it. Stuff we'd really like to see includes * Nothing on geocities. We can't link to it. The traffic will make your site fall over. * Stuff you've found and photographed. Have you been to the zoo and worried the zebras? * YOUR latest websites and animations. TIP: Nothing too wordy. We're thick and don't like reading.
