Praise for Planet Internet:

" . . . a humorous sojourn into the depths of Internet culture . . .
essential if you need to find something odd on the net."
--The Arrow, St. John's University

" . . . highly recommended as a source of hours of mirth and merriment. "
--The Miscellany News, Vassar College

In Return to Planet Internet, readers find cybernecromancer Steve Rimmer
serving up still more offbeat Internet locales. No matter how eclectic the
topic, this book tells how to find it on the net. A sample of the things
you could use this book to do on the Internet:

* Investigate the many conspiracy theories proffered by the tabloids
* Experience cybersex
* Learn how to pierce body parts
* Become a Zoroastrian
* Trade ways to kill Barney

Arranged for fast and easy access, this irreverent Internet guide is
written in typical disarming Rimmer style, and is loaded with intriguing
graphics and illustrations throughout. First, Rimmer covers everything
readers need to know to access and explore the Internet. Then he probes
about 200 unusual or little-known sites, including alien visitors, Elvis
sightings, Amazon women, body art, angst, political correctness,
gargoyles, free stuff, and cult movies.

With extensive coverage of the World Wide Web
