As
this site only changes once a month it is taking a while to build up its rather
wonderful but warped pedigree. Amazing inventions that have been recently added
to its books include a grater, slicer, mouse and fly catcher all-in-one and a
rather unsavoury sounding tapeworm trap. Hmmm...that last one's a little hard to
swallow.

You've
gotta be joking. Perfectly 'sane' showbiz paranormalist Uri Geller says use your
psychic powers over the Internet to, yup you've guessed it, bend a spoon. The
spoon in question is currently sitting in Uri's own personal safe and there's a
million dollars saying it can't be done. In addition to this freakish online
experiment, the Psychic City offers lots more barmarama mindbending fun and
games. Strike, for instance, is a game of psychic skill in which players second
guess where precious mineral resources are hidden but I must have been giving
off some bad vibes because it crashed my machine. Other treats include stuff
about Mindbender, a new movie 'inspired by the amazing life story of Uri Geller
and more interesting Uri-type facts compiled by a UK contingent of Geller fans.
More down to earth information is also included about the wise one's business
consultancy and by way of a testimonial the former (note former) chairman at
Australian Mining Company, Zanex, is quoted as saying, 'I will never drill an
oil well without asking Uri Geller's advice first. As if!

This
site is translated into both English and Swedish and appears to be about some
quasi-religious spiritual thing that involves healing and UFOs (do you ever feel
you're being taken for a ride?). There's a philosophy-type explanation, some
symbols (if you recognise them you should get in touch) and some
extraterrestrial greetings spoken, allegedly, by an earthling contact person.
Quite frankly, not speaking the language, this could be Swedish, only it's
probably something much spookier.

Do
you remember James Randi? The guy who had the supernatural programme on TV where
he tried to prove whether things went bump in the night or not? Well this is the
Internet equivalent. Your host, the Shadow Lord, warns you that these are real
stories from real people, but it all seems rather Edgar Allen Poeish really,
with tales of the Frail Old Women dressed in black, and The Dark Lady in Green
Bay whose presence was felt in the basement. The impressive gallery of ghostly
pictures adds to the overall eerie atmosphere. One question, though: where is
Michael Aspel? Spooky.

Cemetary, the final resting place of cultural icons such as Karl Marx, Michael
Faraday and Charles Cruft (who apparently preferred cats) Forming the basis of
his forthcoming series The Sexton's Tales, the sections are nicely framed,
strikingly designed and easy to navigate. Sections come under headstones
entitled Curio (facts and legends including the Highgate vampire, Queen
Victoria's secret, and strange exploding coffins), Memento Mori (who's who in
the graveyard) and there's loads of links to matters funereal, radio and
research.

Penn and
Teller transformed the world of magic with their own brand of macabre illusion
and ironic humour, usually at Paul Daniels' expense. Their newest trick is the
Sincity Web page, but unfortunately their irreverant wit does not really
translate to the Net. Information about Penn before stardom, FAQs and a Teller
Speaks page are on offer, but the cheesy mugshots of the pair seem to be more
akin to the old clichÚs. Some of the irreverance does sneak in with an amusing
look at Strawberry Poptart blow-torches and a fake card trick which describes
the true Penn and Teller ethos: 'What you're really doing is using the Net as a
tool for mocking others.

great interest is the database of reported UK sightings which features, among
other reports, two blokes in Cornwall who can't remember what happened to them
the night before and a woman who saw lights in the sky on 5 November - as if!
All the information - articles from UFO Times, research projects, contacts for
local groups etc - is efficiently formatted and well maintained with some weirdy
