The Fear Chart generator makes this an oh so simple thing to do. Just enter five levels, pick a picture and voila as the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is interesting. A research project to try and work out jokes that match your sense of humour. As they say &#8220;Jester uses a collaborative filtering algorithm called Eigentaste to recommend jokes to you based on your ratings of previous jokes.&#8221; Of course I&#8217;m not sure quite how they classify humour or rate a joke [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The internet has made political protest much easier though you need to get a big crowd behind you with over 100 websites out there. A few months back this appeared. Because Gordon Brown didn&#8217;t apologise to Congress when visiting the USA, so here&#8217;s your chance to email friends with an apology on his behalf! It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

This was erected in 1986 as a protest by American born Bill Heine who stayed in Oxford after his postgraduate degree at Balliol College. It&#8217;s 25 foot long and Bill successfully overcame the ire of local town planners to keep it up. You can read how on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is very well done by artist Alan Becker. He draws a small figure in photoshop (I think) named Victim and proceeds to torment the little stick figure. Then the stick figure escapes and engages in a full battle onscreen, mostly within Photoshop against the animator using the features of Photoshop. This is very nicely [...]]]></description>

The idea is that credit cards are boring so why not jazz yours up with a new look. It&#8217;s perhaps better to try it first on an expired one [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s a fairly easy concept to explain. Take a statue- the ruder or sillier the better, have somebody pose near it, maybe holding their hands or posture [...]]]></description>
