Human for Sale

Have you ever considered selling yourself? If so, this website will help you determine your value. Based on a variety of diverse factors including age, race, hair color, weight, height, IQ, family history of diseases, level of eduction completed, income, eyesight, and whether you're left- or right-handed, the site will compute your worth and come up with an asking price. If you're old, balding, and overweight, you'll lose points, but if you make a good income and have an IQ to match, you'll find yourself right back in the ballgame. Based on all of these different factors, I'm worth exactly $2,684,680. eBay, here I come...literally!

Harley Race


Had he been born a couple of decades later, eight-time former National Wrestling Alliance world heavyweight champion Harley Race might have enjoyed the riches and fame of sports entertainers such as The Rock, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and Goldberg. As it is, Race has to settle with being a well-respected legend who owns his own wrestling federation. Not a bad consolation price. Race's website serves both as a portal for his wrestling league (the WLW) and as an online store for fans to purchase videos. The site is also loaded with photos and information about Race's storied career. If you're a fan of classic wrestling, race (pun intended) on over to this site today!

Harvey Toons


Remember Harvey Comics? Sure you do! They brought us such childhood icons as Richie Rich, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Spooky, Wendy the Good Witch, and everybody's favorite little devil, Hot Stuff. The website, which is very Flash Macromedia intensive, features in-depth bios on all of the major (and some of the minor) characters, Flash Web games, and has sections for the comic books, TV shows, and movies, as well as the requisite online store. The Flash animation is incredible - if at times slow-loading - and really adds to the look and feel of the site, which manages to maintain the overall flavor of the comics and cartoons. If you have a soft spot for Casper, Richie Rich, and all his friends, this site is really "Hot Stuff."
