And maybe this is exactly the trick, make it low key and have a sense of humor about it.

Sounds like a site dedicate to "My Ass" results would be extremely popular with grad students and real world researchers. Being able to know "it's not just me" and maybe even avoid some of the stumbling blocks others have run into, or to not just blindly use some approach that happened to work for one experiment, but seems to fail for many others.

I agree in general, but I'd also love to see those published as actual beautiful papers, not just ugly formatted websites. (Okay, the website in case isn't that bad. At least it's clearly structured and readable.)

These would be mostly short papers, for sure. But there could be a separate section in the journals for them - just like the "outtakes" section at the end of a movie.
