<\/a>We often post items from our #tips<\/a> box, but sometimes things are so weird that we can’t even stick them into our remainders<\/a>. Things like talk of freaky ads on Craig’s List, free boob job offers, and pure flattery.<\/p>\n

We’re sharing all those silly things with you because you’re such lovely people.<\/p>\n

Doesn’t that feel nice to hear? The #tips<\/a> box wasn’t exactly designed for it, but sometimes a bit of flattery doesn’t hurt<\/a>. Granted, to most commenters it’s about as amusing as seeing someone confusing the tips box with the search box<\/a> or making an accidental comment in the wrong spot (which can even happen to our old timers<\/a> like otko<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Speaking of confusion, I can’t figure out whether PN – gooapplesoft<\/a>‘s random remark about post counts<\/a> is a #compliment<\/a> or a #complaint<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’m pretty sure that the shouts of “Netflix is down!<\/a>” are a bad thing though, but at least they keep everyone notified of when sites relevant to them fail. So thank you for letting us know.<\/p>\n

No thanks to the fellow who shared a website which aggregates the most desperate and freaky people on Craig’s List<\/a> by city. I’d rather spend hours and hours looking at old memes<\/a> and funny Google suggestions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s not all about silliness in #tips<\/a> though. Sometimes tipsters will point the way to some good causes<\/a> or borderline #dealzmodo<\/a> offers—such as ways of accumulating some kind of points to earn free boob jobs<\/a>. Ok, so maybe that’s a bit silly after all.<\/p>\n

I’ll let you browse through the remaining #tips<\/a> on your own, but I will share what I consider the gem of the week in the #tips<\/a> box: Code Organ<\/a>, a website shared by zensflare<\/a> which lets you hear what other sites would sound like<\/a>. It’s pretty nifty and for what it’s worth, this edition of Gizmodo’s Tips Box<\/a> was written to the sounds of Google.<\/p>\n

We’re proud of our comment system<\/a> and commenter community. In fact, many of our posts come from items submitted to our #tips<\/a> box. Gizmodo’s Tips Box<\/a> is a regular feature to show the funny, scary, and freaky things we just couldn’t post, but want to share.<\/i><\/p>\n
