Worst of the Web

Colin's Home Page [GONE 11/99] ~ Micah Fuch's Warcraft 2 Pud Page [GONE 11/99] ~ Hillary's Hair [GONE 11/99] ~ Worst Web Pages of Congress [GONE 11/99] ~ Mirsky still has a site, but his Worst of the Web is [GONE 11/99]

It's somewhat encouraging to see these "Worst" examples have disappeared.
