Happy Mondays

One of the things I like about my job here at MCV is that I get paid to trawl the web looking for gay, lesbian, bi and trans news items to write about. This means, of course, checking out a broad range of blogs, pop culture sites, and other murky corners of the web in the name of research. Here are just some of the gems I've discovered today (and best of all they're all work friendly):

• There was a wankathon in the UK the other day - and Channel 4 are making a doco about it!
• Bisexuality gets a lot of flack from both straight and gay camps - here's a great blog post that should lay the old argument that 'there's no such thing as being bi' to rest once and for all.
• Want to see what you'd look like if you were of a different nationality, gender or age? Check out this link and transform your face - or someone else's!
• Those friendly folk at the Westboro Baptist Church want you to know that God Hates Fags!
• In Iraq, religious extremists are murdering queers.
  
• And following logically from religious zealots to the eschaton, this site will tell you all you've ever wanted to know about the end of the world.
• After which, you might feel the need to talk with God for a while. Don't worry, He talks back.
  
• Did you know that there's a song so depressing that it allegedly provokes listeners to suicide? Read all about 'Gloomy Sunday'.
• Now you might need cheering up. Try telling subservient chicken what to do. The chicken is your slave.
  
• If you didn't grow up in the late 70's you probably never had a Pet Rock. Well, now you can play with a virtual one, and dress it up! Careful though, he's angry.
  
• Douglas Adams fan? Sing along with the dolphins!
• Continuing the animal theme, look out! There are llamas!
  
• Ever met anyone with alektorophobia- a fear of chickens? Me neither. Find out the names of other stupid phobias here.
  
• And finally, the very last page of the internet.
  

There, wasn't that educational? I'll go back to work now...
