: PUNK KITTENS SING THE WHITE STRIPES
  aka The Rathergood Corner
  
  Joel Veitch runs a site called Rathergood.
  He's our mate and we love his deranged work.

  Joel writes - 
  "This week I've been listening to the pop
  group The White Stripes. They rock. I thought
  they'd rock even more dressed as cats.

  "Now they are."
http://www.rathergood.com/punk_kittens/


-------------------------------------------------

: THE TWATLAS
  Learn how to swear in foreign.

  Like all good ideas - this one started
  in the pub.

  We were talking to the Australian Channel V 
  presenter Andrew G and he said, "Remember
  when a foreign exchange student came to
  your school - all people wanted to know was
  how to swear in other languages?"
  
  "Wouldn't it be great if you made a web page
  to teach them?"

  How could we refuse a challenge like that?

-------------------------------------------------

: NEW WEEBL AND BOB THING
  "Gallery"

  Jonti has been busy. He's made a new cartoon
  in the Weebl and Bob series.

  This one is all about a painting competition,
  oh and pie.

  BTW: Remember we told you that Weebl was
  undergoing a name change for TV? Apparently
  it'll be "Wobbl and Bob". Cunning.

: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS WEEK 
  Name a kitten, Bunny anim, BT Abuse, Vomit 

  >> Pub Fight <<
  Have you ever wondered if Kylie could beat 
  Madonna in a pub fight? Wonder no more.
  Crazymum has built a site where you can submit
  two photos and web users can vote. It's Pick
  the Hottie meets Fight Club.
http://www.pubfight.com/


  >> Name a Kitten <<
  Tomsk and Phil are getting a couple of kittens.
  They want suggestions for a name. There's
  already some great suggestions on the page.
  Our favourite so far? 'Cut & Paste'
http://www.tomandphil.myby.co.uk/kitten/index.php


  >> Angry Bunny stop-frame animation <<
  Bean has been taking photographs of his fluffy
  bunny and gluing them together in this cute
  animation. AD AGENCIES! Rip this off now. Like
  you normally do. Wankers. (Note: Big download.)
http://makeashorterlink.com/


  >> Abusing BT for fun <<
  This page has been banned from the Internet
  Kiosks at Waterloo station. It's designed
  purely to suck bandwidth - and one night
  generated half a million hits. Elliot - who
  made the page - is very proud.
http://www.elliotcooper.com/loop.html


  >> Photos of a man vomiting milk <<
  Malky is planning to launch a new website full
  of "pointless things." And they don't get much
  more pointless than this - he drank a gallon of
  milk, puked and photographed it. Respect.
http://www.btinternet.com/~john.dobbie2/malky/milk...


  >> Are you on the blob? The results <<
  A while back we conducted a survey where we
  asked you whether you were menstruating. And
  now? We have the results. Sunday, 18th August
  was the blobbiest day in the world.
http://www.b3ta.com/are-you-on-the-blob/vote.php

-------------------------------------------------

: SITES IN BRIEF 
  Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates.

  >> Pull my finger <<
  It had to happen. Someone has made a page
  with a big finger on it. Click it? And it
  makes a fart noise. Kids will love it.
http://www.whitetrash.nl/pmf/


  >> Knitted album covers <<
  These tiny knitting patterns feature album
  covers - including the Aphex Twin, Michael
  Jackson and Human League. It's fluffy pixel
  art. Charming.
http://www.sewkits.co.uk 


  >> Japanese Asciimation <<
  A few issues back we linked to something we
  called "Japanese ascii penis kittens go wild."
  We've found another work in a similar style.
  It's not as rude - but it's very beautiful.
http://www.geocities.co.jp/MusicStar-Keyboard/2348...


  >> Turn your dead relatives into coral reef <<
  Following on from "turn your dead relative into
  a diamond" - you can now encase your granny's
  ashes in concrete and drop them in the sea.
  This seeds fresh coral growth and provides new
  homes for fish. Much better than a diamond. 
http://www.eternalreefs.com/cremains.htm


  >> Interactive cat animation <<
  How cute is this? It purrs! And it'll swipe
  at your mouse.

: B3TA IMAGE CHALLENGE
  Results from Implements of Doom 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 was 'Household Implements of Doom!'
http://b3ta.com/challenge/doom/

  We asked Freddy Woo to judge the entries
  - here are his 3 faves.

  Freddy writes -

  #1 "The Plate Swore Revenge" (by rogan) -
     simple, silly, but funny and manages
     to give inanimate objects real
     character.
http://www.b3ta.com/board/2/8/7/3/5/3/

  #2 "Blue Ringed Octomop" (by indole_ring) -
     lovely expression on this guy's face and
     it's always good to see a new animal on
     b3ta.
http://www.b3ta.com/board/2/8/2/5/7/4/

  #3 "Domestic Anteater" (by dansegar) - I'm
     gonna get me one of these... especially
     as it's fully compatible (with ants)."
http://www.b3ta.com/board/2/8/1/3/3/2/


  >> This Week's Challenge <<

  This week, B3ta contributor Shindig gave us
  the suggestion, "The ungodly love child of
  X and Y."

: WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
  Follow-ups on previous stories.

  * FOX'S BISCUITS SENDS FREEBIES - Nicey reviews

    send you a whole host of biscuits -
    including the legendary sports biscuit with
    that stick man design!" Next week? Nicey
    reviews gold ingots. Spawny Git.

  * BANNED WEBSITES - last week we told you that
