Earthling reader Hunt called foul last week when iPhone day coverage trumped the heh list, so today just for him I've put together a full complement of heh. If you come across something particularly hehful in your travels on the internet, feel free to send it my way:

• Shocking Cats - Hot on the heels of the dramatic chipmunk come the shocking cats. Be warned. It's quite shocking.
  
• The Announcer's Test - At one time, according to Wikipedia and its cited sources, this test was given to would-be broadcast announcers, and it developed from there into both a comedy routine and a piece of lore. It starts with "One hen, two ducks, three squawking geese, four limerick oysters, five corpulent porpoises..."
  
• New Favorite Hehful Blog - It's called Passive Aggressive Notes and it's a Flickr chronicle of hateful notes left for roommates, co-workers, and the like. Emperor Palpatine would be proud. [via crystalline9]
  
• Ugly Mailboxes - Second-favorite hehful blog. {via mabisa]
  
• Star Wars AT-AT Baby Stroller - There's always room in a heh list for Star Wars replicas. Blogs Daddytypes and Thingamababy tracked down the creator and put together an interview and photo gallery with all of the details.
  
• Japanese Human Tetris - The object of this game show is to adjust your body so you fit through the odd-shaped hole in a billboard coming at you at a fairly rapid speed. Sort of Kool-Aid Man meets Double Dare. Fittingly, if you fail, you are shamed with a fall into a pool of water and the words "NOT CLEAR."
  
• Floppy Disks' New Meaning - Most kids probably now associate floppy disks with "saving" since the only visual contact they have with them is through the "save" icons in various programs. [via jzawodn]
  
• Facebook In 40 Years - A glimpse into the social networks of a distant tomorrow.
