A moment of silence please...
Today we are losing thousands upon thousands of poorly designed and eye wrenching conspiracy websites. Many of our greatest voices are now mute. Who now will tell the world the the WTC buildings were brought down not by planes but by giant syringes of H1N1 vaccine? Or that Obama is not a secret Muslim but actually a secret Lizard Person? Geocities is no more.

5. LOL
Well that just made my previous post below completely superfluous.

Is that for real, or is it a satire? I can't tell.

6. A variant of Poe's Law definitely applies here.
I think the site actually is meant seriously, but I have no idea for sure. Real or parody, however, it might be safe to say it's the product of a damaged mind either way. :)

9. Aw, what a bummer.
I think that amalgam-infatuated fruitcake who used to haunt the Health dungeon had his pages on GeoCities. Bernie something or other. He was in WHO'S WHO, goddammit! :rofl:
