Snake Robots
There's absolutely no reason to be afraid of snakes, as long as they're friendly robots. On this site, you can watch movie clips of robot snakes that slither and slide across the floor. Heck, they don't even bite.

Ugly Cat of the Month
Your cat might be cuddly and friendly, but he sure is ugly! That's OK. Sometimes it's cool to own the least attractive cat in the neighborhood. Take a snapshot and enter your kitty portrait in the Ugly Cat of the Month contest.

The Spirit of La Llorona

Read personal accounts of and research on this haunting figure in folklore. Was she really a witch? A beautiful siren? A ruthless harlot? Or an innocent virgin?
