I'm sure everyone has heard about the site called WikiHow. There are lots and lots of very useful articles, like "How to Crack a Pocket PC Application", "How to Promote a Story" (using Digg, of course), or "How to Talk to a Girl", but there are articles that I find absolutely ridiculous, although I understand that if someone writes them - someone reads them. So here are the How Tos which I find to be some of the most ridiculous. I'm sure you'll guffaw. I liked titles the most. And it's all sorted by category.
