News and Announcements from the Specimen Institute

14-06-2005: Gosh darnit. It's been a while but we've finally done some updates. Check out Boner St and Fishing.

28-08-2005: I know it's been ages since we've updated but it's worth the wait this time. We have an onlie store! Oh yes, yes we do. You can now get a very tasteful "thong" or a tshirt that I, Neferneferuaten-tasherit, came up with myself. Brilliant. Be sure to come back to see what other exciting items we have on offer very very soon.

18-04-2005: www.specimensample.com is finally up and running! Yes, we have our very own .com!!!

21-03-2005: Dearie me. Yet another long gap with no updates. Never fear, now there are several. We have some new Quotes; a breakthrough in toilet science, Heather's Law for Optimum Household Toilet:Human Ratio; Heather stayed at Katoomba YHA and took a photo from A Room With A View; and we deleted some crap like all our "of the month" pages. Boring. So now our site is more user friendly. (heh. as if.) Also, Robin and Leah's Designer Wrapping Paper, and How to Write a Good Essay in Sociology (a sequel to the highly acclaimed How to Write a Good Essay in Misanthropology).

09-06-2004: It's about time, isn't it? Neferneferuaten-Tasherit finally got around to "fixing" the Specimen Sample so now it's up and running again! Cool!

11/12/03: Dodgy Dan pointed out to Heather that Neferneferuaten-Tasherit spelt 'widow's with 2 'd's on the Impaled Possum page. We would like to make a retraction for that, and it has been fixed up now.

12/11/03: Neferneferuaten-Tasherit has written a lovely anecdote about The Impaled Possum.

6/10/03 Neferneferuaten-Tasherit: There's some new stuff today, including Neferneferuaten-Tasherit's Nocturnal Chemist Adventures. Wow. That's just so cool. You know what's even cooler? Neferneferuaten-Tasherit's Cake Adventure . She made it long ago, but never dared to put it on the main part of the Specimen Sample. Now, because Heather has begged and begged, and grovelled a lot, it is here for you to see!

5/10/03 Check out our beautiful new hygienic ...thing... (above)! To find out all about it; and to get your own free Hygienic thing, go to Hygienic Protection !  Also, find out exactly what goes on in the Specimen Laboratories !

14/07/03 Neferneferuaten-Tasherit: Mum found some great articles in today's Daily Telegraph (Sydney)! Check out Whale Farts and also The Squashed Car. But this was unoriginal and Neferneferuaten-Tasherit should not have put these articles up, so the link is no longer active.

07/08/03 Get Those Little Logs Moving ! The Ultimate Specimen Sample Competition is now read to be entered! Also check out Mum's Apron Pocket , if you dare....

05/08/03 Food for Thought , and To Eat or Not to Eat .

30/07/02 Spidey: It was Dan's idea, not mine! But it was a good idea, wasn't it? Those who think it was a good idea, please sign the guest book and say so. Those who don't think it was a good idea, signt the guest book too, so I know where to track you down to kill you. Those who couldn't care less, also sign the guest book. Those who don't sign the guest book will face certain death. We've got some great stuff coming up for the Specimen Sample in the very very very near future. Just as soon as we get our act together and do some scanning. But for now, check out Tripping Jesus ! (No, it's not about drugs. It's better than that!)

11/07/02 Neferneferuaten-Tasherit: Today I updated the site so that there is a list down the left hand side with the pages... apparently it was really difficult to read the ones that were at the top, and stuff... Well according to Heather... This was her idea :)

17/06/03 New Pages! Our favourite thing, the Varsity Chair is up to some old tricks.

Well, after a few years of dance practice, the Varsity Chair has learnt to Swing dance, with partner Dan, in Swing Dancing with the Varsity Chair !!! Also, 2 new sections - Dickhead of the Month and Dodgy Thing of the Month ! And don't forget to read about The Pot on the Window Sill

15/05/03 Neferneferuaten-Tasherit eats her own hair ! And so should you !

30/04/03 Neferneferuaten-Tasherit is a god of some sort: The Specimen Sample is now back up on a server that has no ads - this means that there should only be a couple of ads on the front page, because of the cjb redirect... Yay!

24/04/03 Various News: Steve still wants your call! Now you can also get your very own free haemorrhoids! Keep visiting this site for the exciting competition that will be appearing soon... You could win your very own [insert very secret prize here] . We even have New banners with really cool slogans! Also... Check out the amazing iceskating girl ! It's so cool, you wouldn't believe how cool unless you actually have a look!

02/03/03 New Bits'n'Pieces: Look out for the perils of travel, and things that we found in hotels (like the toilet notice on the front page ) and airoplanes. Click here for Your Free Non-Slip Mat .

02/02/03 Specimen Family Tree: Everything you ever wanted to know about the family and friends of our hosts here at the Specimen Institute, Heather and Neferneferuaten-Tasherit - The Specimen Family Couch

01/02/03 Scroll Bar: Neferneferuaten-Tasherit would like to congratulate herself and the remainder of the Specimen Team on having so many pages that she had to add a scroll bar to the top frame so all of the pages could be read above the grass! Excellent!

01/02/03 New pages: A fairly recent addition to the site is McDonalds' Healthy Eating although at this point it is not really finished (Neferneferuaten-Tasherit published it anyway...) so I wouldn't bother viewing it yet if I were you. What I do recommend though is that you check out, if you dare, Bed-Hunting & Other Great Tales of Horror . And I'll bet you've always wondered about your wonderful hosts here at the Specimen Sample - well, why not have a look at The Specimen Team .

30/01/03 Neferneferuaten-Tasherit has an announcement to make: After spending several seemingly-long hours slaving away over Tripod and it's dodgy FTP setup, I have moved the entire site to an iPrimus account. It should work here, so no more of this silly trying to update and not being able to for months at a time, kind of thing. Also, only ads on the front page when you enter via the cjb shortcut URL! Excellent, yes? Yes!
