Still searching for the best of the web?
Looking for that killer site to win a mini-contest?
"Mangle is the only random link finder that I know of that uses the Google Web API."
There's even a Firefox browser extension.

Thanks!, I've been meaning to look around for something just like this ... you saved me umpteen hours of google searching time, your karma account has been credited accordingly.

This is surprisingly very amusing. And it gives you this false sense of content. "Wow, the internet has all this Stuff on it." Until you realize they're avoiding all the more popular searches, like, for a totally random example, 'topless goth girls'...

Now, the game should be, how many clicks can you get to a pron redirect site? I got it down to two in several cases.

Still kind of interesting, makes me wonder if any of my old sites are floating on the intarnets.

I get a bunch of 404s and a BBC article, "Saddam's Palace Opens Up." I should try the red button.

I used the random homepage feature and the first one it came up with was a skinny 14 year old girl who is good at giving head.

Crikey!
