For a look at the cat which got a lion cut, go to

These are the photographic equivalents of urban legends :

A few of these may not be nice to look at.

The unsinkable towboat is particularly spectacular. Make sure to click on the link provided for more pictures.

Mod : too late did I see that I was in the wrong forum.
I suppose you will want to move this post.

I'm only running with AOL's Pop-up blocker...this site has plenty that are circumventing it...;)

Indeed Jeeza, some pretty unusual stuff... :eek:

Circumventing your pop-up blocker ?
Why don't you use Firebird for a browser ? It can block all pop-ups. You just have to add the sites for which you don't want it to do that.

That's odd, Whyzman. For some reason, I had Opera set to allow pop ups, and only received one on the first link. When I set it to stop them, I checked both links and got none. Done a scumware scan lately? :eek:

Sorry guys, I could have been a bit more specific! :(

I accessed the site a number of different times to show family members the shorn cat...

Each time I visited I was hit with a different pop-up...

What I was irritated about the most was that the pop-up didn't show up until I went to exit the site...they loaded behind the viewed page.

And, I hate the ones that ask you DL Now, or Later...as your only choices...other than closing the window through the X...

I was not getting barraged with pop-ups while on site, which is how I definitely came across. :rolleyes:

And did you see the one with the giant cat ? The one that is measuring about 50 inches ? ;) And is weighing about 150 kg ? (lol)
