Мне кажется, это один из тех многочисленных случаев, когда форма не поддается правилам, просто нужно запомнить как фразу и все.

Семейная пара приезжает на курорт. Заезжают в номер.
Жена видит мышь и начинает вопить: "А-а-а-а! Мышь! Звони на ресепшн, у тебя с английским по лучше, а я - полный ноль".
Муж набирает:
-Hallo.
-Hallo.
-Do you know "Tom and Jerry"?
-Yes, I do.
-So... Jerry is here.

Eye Halve a Spelling Chequer

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rarely ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect in it's weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

My favorites:

Vice.com

Covers some of the most controversial and interesting stuff out there and, allegedly, frequently asked to tone down their articles. Often gets ripped off by mainstream media and other bloggers.

Exiledonline.com

Love reading their articles every now and then. It's, probably, a more stripped down version of Vice.


Reddit.com

Probably the singe most diverse site on the net. If Google was a forum or a message board it'd probably be Reddit. Every second, a creative/original thought/idea is being born on Reddit. I don't think any site can boast that. Besides, seems like mainstream media's idea of reporting news is to go to Reddit and post whatever happens to be on Reddit's front page at that precise moment. Feels like it, along with 4chan, has the final say in what becomes popular on the net at any given moment.

Stumbleupon.com

Lets you stumble upon sites based on your interests, be it ballet, scholarly articles, radio, porn or whatever, really...

Abovetopsecret.com

Officially, a conspiracy message board, in actuality, an extremely well organized forum where you can find a wealth of invaluable info on various topics. I like its, often, very intelligent and well-informed user-base.

Cracked.com

Articles, arranged in list format. The best of its kind on the net.

Theonion.com

Extremely well written joke articles.

Physicsforums.com

An amazing recourse for hard science geeks.

There is a whole buncha others, but feelin a little lazy to list them all. Form here on, you could probably do your own diggin.
