This is a picture I found while exploring a website called HOT or NOT.   It is the first photo I rated  a "10".  In December of 2000 I put a collage of three pictures of myself on the site for the public to rate and my ultimate rating was a 9.9!  This is a very fun website and it can be quite addictive.  I highly recommend this site if you want to know how you compare to other people as far as appearance goes.  Your identity is protected so there is no need to worry about people seeing your picture on the site and finding out who you are unless you put your photo in a location that would reveal your identity.  It's also a good way to advertise your web page! If you don't like rating people based on appearance then you definitely will not like this site, you have been warned.

From December, 2000

     The Schumin Web is probably the most ridiculous web site that I have ever visited.  It is a personal website gone crazy. (if you think Idius Land! is weird then you ain't seen nothin' yet) This is a picture of Ben Schumin, the guy who runs the site.  He is an upcoming junior at James Madison University, just like myself.  I've seen him quite a few times on campus.  After exploring his site for a few hours, I discovered that, not only do we attend the same university, but we live in the same county!  This site is so ridiculous that you just HAVE TO see it to believe it.  Depending on how you look at this site you may think that it is quite comical or just plain CRAZY.  I guess that's why I like the site so much:-)
