Electric Pompeii. A distant church bell tolls, Tumbleweed blows, a lone wolf howls. Snapshots of websites preserved exactly as they were at the moment when the final redundancy notices were handed out...
Electric Pompeii lists The Weekly World News site as defunct, but it is, as far as I can tell, very much funct.

They probably got fooled by one of Ed's many joke shutdowns of the site. Maybe someone should let them know, so they can be all combobulated again.

Now if only electric tumbleweeds would randomly drift about the sites... that would make it all worth it.

Damn straight it's great. It should be required reading for designers and MBA Brainzillas who come up with ideas for the next insanely great thing. After all, those who forget the past...
