The Website of the Year Award has to go to one of the most creative sites I've seen in a long time: www.humanclock.com. Created in March 2001 by Daniel Giffen, the site contains about 2,500 pictures each representing a single minute of the day. It's one of those websites that makes you scratch your head and say to yourself, "Why didn't I think of that." I imagine that it also takes a lot of work to maintain. So, on behalf of The World According to Rick, I hereby name www.humanclock.com, as the website of the year. |

Mother Against Peeing Standing Up MAPSU is more than just moms – they're real people – dads, young people, and other concerned individuals who want to stop peeing standing up, support the victims (those who have to clean up), and prevent unnecessary urine stream fragmentation. http://www.mapsu.org/ |
