The
Holotypic Occlupanid Research Group (HORG) is an online archive of the little (usually) plastic bread bag clips (occlupanids) found ubiquitously in supermarkets, written as though compiled and categorized by real zoologists studying a strange lifeform.
The website was first created in 1994 and is a shining example of old internet culture that thankfully still stands to this day.

Wow.
This site will actually give me practice on pronouncing my Latin in English. I've been practicing the traditional English pronunciation of Latin as of late.
Archignathidae: ahr-kihg-NATH-uh-dee.
Ampullaenigma thermastris: am-pull-ee-NIG-muh thur-MASS-triss.

That's fun, I always wondered what they were called. It is amazing how many unique niche interests can blossom on the internet.
