Oddly Compelling (http://www.love-lines.com/)
It uses blogs so I guess it's not a surprise that on May 7th 21 people wanted to disappear and 7 wanted to die... that's basically a standard day for the blogosphere. (good god I hate the word blog ((also blogosphere)) but this is not the intersection of time and place on my life matrix.)
All the ones I've found come up livejournal so maybe that is all they use (though they claim "blogs" to be the source), my statement can still however ring true if this is the case.

I think they're using Technorati's API to search, so other blogs should also show up in their results.
I saw that link on Waxy's Links (http://waxy.org/links/) yesterday. Sort of interesting, although I don't see why I'd need to ever go back there. It's nice as a novelty, but there's no real content there.

Indeed, it just sparks my OCD need to collect random data and lists.
This is probably (eventually) a problem.

So are you like the #1 poster at Things That Don't Exist (http://www.thingsthatdontexist.com/index.php?pagename=showThing&id=482)?

Not yet... dammit.
Seriously though, the reason I limit myself to one list a day elsewhere is I will otherwise do it until I die of malnutrition and obsession.

Too bad this doesn't account for sarcasm. Q and Cort, you know what we need here: Frink's Sarcasm Detector.
As of 11:29 AM (EST), 11 May 2006, "7 PEOPLE DIDN'T LIKE IT."

Ooh, a sarcasm detector. Oh, that's a *real* useful invention.

You should call it the "Blogodrome". Much more betterer.
-
The Blogodrome: One hundred million men enter, one man leaves.

I thought that was Shredder's mobile underground headquarters.

There can be only one.... Highlander?

I always thought a 'drome' was an area of some kind, as in 'aerodrome'.
-
This would definitely not explain Videodrome.

suff.
Racecourse: hippodrome.
Field; arena: airdrome.
Running: palindrome.

I always thought that this particular use of "drome" referred to "syndrome".
Which gives way to another, more interesting interpretation of Blogodrome.

Things That Don't Exist (http://www.thingsthatdontexist.com/index.php?pagename=showThing&id=482)
Sorry about the double posting, but DAMN! That site is brilliant.
There goes my workday.
I mean, The Credible Hulk, people.

Just in case you aren't familiar with the inspiration for the site it can be found here (http://www.qwantz.com/index.pl?comic=233).
Edit: My coworker and I have been reduced to tears (http://www.thingsthatdontexist.com/index.php?pagename=showThing&id=21642).

Hey, thanks. I knew those two strips, but I hadn't made the connection. Now it's all full circle for me.
Well, can't really call that a circle. Triangle, maybe?

Like the rest of the Internet, most of those entries are disappointing and juvenile, and then you just hit one that astounds.
Credible Hulk is such a thing.

I'm also fond of the collaborative novel by Anthony Burgess and The Reincarnation of John Milton.
Furthermore, I'm picturing the adventures of the Credible Hulk: "When he gets angry, he gets bestial and hugely strong! Well, not that hugely strong. He can't throw cars around, but he can lift the copy machine, and stuff."

"No seriously, I saw him lift John up and help him pop his back."
Recent find on that site: Bicurious George.
So childish and yet so amusing. Man in the Yellow Hat inDEED!
