Review: This site has been around for quite some time, yet still hasn't
gotten around to getting a decent domain name. Still, it is now "freeze
dried" as they put it, and sits for ever more as a memorial to human
wackyness. Divided into various wings, halls and corridors, the Kooks
Museum covers schizophrenics, bigots, madcap inventors, conspiracy theorists
and problem solvers - wackos one and all. It would be nice if the curator
could build on this collection a little more, but maybe enough is enough
- how much craziness can one person stand? Go see for yourself. - SS

Review: If you don't know this man, you've been living under a rock. Depending
on which end of the political spectrum you are on, either he's a wacko,
or everyone he lampoons is - either way Michael Moore lives in one hell
of a wacky world. He uses comedy to make very powerful social commentary,
and he succeeds by looking like just the kind of stupid white men he says
we should all be worried about. There is the Oscar speech and it's fallout,
plenty of Iraq coverage, including letters from soldiers on the frontline,
generous excerpts from his books and a very good network of like-minded
sites to add fuel to the controversial fire he started - or was it George
W? Love him or hate him, this is one wacko standing up to be counted.

Review: Peter Bowditch is an avid member of the Australian Skeptics and
delights in exposing the sheer insanity and stupidity of the plethora
of quacks, charlatans and pseudo-science merchants out there. And what
a collection he has mustered! Freaks, weirdos and absolute bastards, ripping
off innocent people with health scams, get rich quick schemes, faith healing
and downright insanity. The laughs run thick and fast as Bowditch tears
the ratbags apart, attracting death threats and a swathe of indignant
retorts from the perpetrators of poppycock. It's a labour of love and
a great effort exposing the wackos of the web and the world at large.

Review: Memepool is a blog-like site with a select clique of contributors
scouring the web for the coolest, strangest and most fascinating sites.
The wackos archive is an endless source of amazement, as you follow link
after incredible link of ridiculousness. Be warned; the chance of stumbling
across MA rated material is high, but if you are mature enough to cope,
you will be assured of many a freaky surprise. Wrapping Roy Orbison in
clingfilm, SARS mask fashions, the 'time cube' that gives you four simultaneous
days in one earth rotation - need I say more? Wackos! Every one of 'em.

Review: Bob Vesterman is a wacky kind of guy himself, who relishes the
discovery of equally wacky people when he stumbles across them. His site
is essentially a huge link fest with Bob's witty commentary accompanying
each link, and the chance for you to post your own comments alongside
his. Sadly it seems he is too much of a wacko for anyone to dare to comment.
His wackos page abounds in glorious examples of human idiocy. The perfect
pick-me-up on those days, when your self esteem is slipping - just click
on a link and rejoice. Yes, there is someone more screwed up than you
