Remember that overly stuffed feeling you get after visiting the all-you-can-eat buffet one too many times? A similar phenomenon may very well take effect if you visit www.timmybighands.com. Created by five alumni of the canceled comedy show, "Mystery Science Theater 3000," this site provides a veritable smorgasbord of wackiness.

The comics link offers cartoons in the style of the Sunday newspaper-but better, because they won't leave black ink on your fingertips. Those seeking a more intellectual experience need only check out the essays and writings, which include such rhetorical ventures as "Socratic Dialogue ... with a Steak." But be warned-the prose here is not quite Shakespearian.

There is something for everyone here, whether they be sports fans, poets or aspiring psychics-Timmy makes predictions of such likely future events as a Japanese invasion of Florida.

You can pay a visit to www.timmybighands.com with the innocent notion of just sampling its offerings, but such naivete will lead to disaster or at least a significant amount of wasted time. Just be sure to call it quits before things get out of hand. Your stomach-I mean, your brain-will be grateful.
