Bubblewrap

Who likes bubblewrap? I know I do.
There's something magical about it that keeps you popping them until there are none left. Well, I found a bubblewrap that can be popped forever.
You can even go into manic mode for even more popping fun!

Rock, paper, Saddam

Wondering why it takes so long to hear anything about the Saddam trial? Well, because they are just plying around. Look here for some great rock, paper, scissor action in the courtroom :)

Hungry? Then you can consider taking a bite out of the biggest sandwich in the world. You'll have to travel to Mexico City though. :)

Googlefight

This site makes you type in 2 keywords and lets you see which one wins. The site checks the results google gives for each keyword and pcks the winner based on which keyword gets the most results. You can do some funny things with this. Like George W. Bush vs. bin Laden (Bush wins) or Headache vs. Aspirin (Headache wins). Let you imagination work and have fun :)

Google

Google keeps coming up with these wonderful things, now they have a search which only searches federal sites. Maybe if you search really good, you'll find out who shot JFK :D

Search Uncle Sam

Kaleidoscope

This site has a great interactive kaleidoscope on it. Just drag your mouse around the screen in any direction you want and it will react perfectly. I played with it so long I got dizzy :D

Cool commercial

This is a very cool Citroën commercial. The car becomes a robot.
A dancing robot! :D
Really reminded me of transformers. Check it out.

Singing horses

This stuff is great! Click the horses to hear them sing. You can try different combinations if you like. :)

Stickfight

This is a flash movie of a total war of stickymen, stickyvehicles and chat abbreviations. Too weird for words, but very entertaining. :)

Huge picture

Think your 5 megapixel camera is great? Well, it's peanuts compared to this.
These guys took a 2.5 billion pixel picture. When you go to the site you'll see a panoramic picture of Delft, the netherlands.
When you zoom in the picture stays sharp. You can zoom in until you can read the license plates of the cars. Truly amazing!

Defend the castle

This is one of the best games I've played lately. You have to defend your castle from the barbarians. Just click on them and toss them in the air. You get archers,wizards and kamikaze soldiers to help you. I managed to get to lvl 14. It gets really hard there because they start to use huge barbarians to help the little ones from that point.:) You can save your progress so you don't have to restart every time you play or if you don't like to play too long at a time.
Defend the castle

How it works: the computer

In this book published in 1971 and revised in 1979, they try to explain what a computer is and what it does. The funny part for me is the excessive use of terms like mini-units and micro-units to describe computers that only fill half a room instead of the usual full room :D
Anyway, it's nice vintage stuff that reminds us what long way computers took to become the small-sized, super powered machines we know today.
Enjoy

Which kind of blogger...

Am I? Apparently I'm a link blogger.
No way!
Pretty accurate if you ask me :)

You Are a Link Blogger!


Your blog is more about cool links than thoughtful posts.
Better to be entertaining and brief than longwinded and boring!
What kind of blogger are you?

Earth Pictures

These are some great looking pictures of the Earth taken from 300 miles high.
With that new, privatly build spaceship, maybe it won't be long before we can go up ourselves and take pictures like this :)
But for now we'll have to do with the ones that are handed to us by the astronauts.:)

Who's line is it anyway

This is a absolutely frikkin' hilarious movie from the time Richard Simmons guest starred in who's line is it anyway. Simmons plays a prop in one round, and he gets a little too into it. One of the best episodes of that show ever.
Richard Simmons

Queen

Know the Queen song "another one bites the dust"?
Well, turns out it has a hidden message in it. Well, at least according to THIS site :D
They took a piece from the song, reversed the sound and slapped in on their site.
Check it out.

Burning games

Do you feel you are paying to much for video games? Do you wish you could burn them for fr-ee yourself? Well, THIS site gives you the insight on how you can successfully burn a Xbox or PS2 game at home yourself. You don't need no CD-RW or DVD-RW or other complicated and expensive equipment. A handy toaster will do the job. :D

Illusion

Want to see a great optical illusion? Then check this out optical illusion dragon
Which ever way the camera turns, the dragon's head follows it. Only at the very end, when the camera shows the dragon at a certain angle, you can see how the head is shaped. Very cool.

Puzzle

If you like hard, (and I mean HARD), puzzles, then this is something for you. Try it out, but don't feel bad if you get stuck really quick. I'm still trying to figure out lvl 3 and I heard the game has around 25 really hard levels in total. I'll update if I advance to a next level, but you can try to outrun me :)

Good luck

EDIT: got to lvl 4.
EDIT: got to lvl 5.
EDIT: got to lvl 6.
EDIT: with some help in a forum I got to 9.
EDIT: got to lvl 20 with a huge deal of help from that forum :)
I would post the URL of the forum, but it's a Dutch forum, so that wouldn't
be of much help. :)

Hidden pictures

This site features pictures that look normal at first sight, but if you look closer you'll see that every picture has a hidden picture in it. Very cool.
If you really can't figure one out,(the rose one is pretty hard), then you can use the spoiler function which shows you where the hidden image is located.
This kind of stuff shows what great, artistic stuff can be done when you know some photoshop.

Crop circles

I always loved crop circles, but not for the "alien mystery" that usually surrounds them. Many people believe they are made by UFO's, but that has never been the point for men when looking at them. Maybe they are made by "aliens", maybe they're not. I don't care.
I just assume they are made by normal people and concentrate on the important part of them: their looks. Their geometrical shapes are stunning, just plain beautiful! And that's the reason why I love them. Check out this site for a look at some very pretty ones :)

History of the F' word

Did you know the F' word can be used as a verb, an adjective, an adverb,a noun, as a part of a word, as every word in a sentence,...
The F' word is a unique and very flexible word that should be used much more often :)
So all of you, watch this movie, be amused and spread it around.
But if you don't like "strong" language, then don't click the link;)

50 states

Remember when you were in the 3rd grade? When you had to be able to know the placing of every state? Well, this site let's you check if you still have it. You have to place the name of every state on the right place. But watch out, there's a time limit :)
With the upcoming elections, it might be interesting to know stuff like this again.
I passed the test and had fun, so try it out :)

Chicken fight

They have fights with roosters in Mexico, but did you ever saw 2 chickens fight? Well now you will :)
This is the Chicken sandwich world championship
Pick your favorite chicken,Spicy or TC, and start the fight.
Whoever kicks the most chicken butt wins!

Blogexplosion

I recently joined blogexplosion. At first it was just to see if it would give me some more traffic(which it does). But then discovered that it's very fun to browse thru other blogs this way. So my traffic went up and I didn't have to do anything I don't like to do to get this traffic :)
If you want more traffic too, then try it out, it's free so you have nothing to loose.
You can see how much traffic I really get at the bottom of the page, under "referring web pages"
If you got here thru blogexplosion, say hi!

Icon story

Ever wondered what your computer desktop icons do when you go to bed at night?
They don't just sit there waiting for you to come back.
No, they have their own fun while you're not there. Although fun maybe isn't the best word to describe this. Let's say they like to know who's the toughest icon on the block.

GTA:Brick city

Only one more week until GTA:San Andreas comes out!
Look at this video while you wait for it, it's a Lego parody of the GTA games.
Very entertaining, and hilarious :)

Wedding invites

This guy is selling wedding invites he received from an old friend on ebay. He doesn't want to attent since the girl his friend is marrying is a real dog. So this guy decides he might as well get some cash out of it. The listing got so popular (almost 800 000 views), that several other persons who were invited to the same wedding saw it and decided they wanted to sell their invites too :D
Make sure you read the guys' comments, they're the funniest thing there :)

Castro falls

Cuban president Castro fell hard when he left the podium after a graduation speech. I know this isn't something to laugh with, but the story comes with a video, and I must admit, when I saw it I laughed. He broke his knee and arm, btw.

Parking

Parking is harder than you think. Especially on a computer. If you think you can park, then prove it here. You get points based on time taken, parking accuracy and number of times you hit other cars. There are only 3 levels and you get 60 seconds per level. So you can even try it out if you have little time :)

Ouch!

Got some male animal that needs a fixing? Got an ex-boyfriend you want to teach a lesson? Just wanna have fun? Then check this out :D
Ouch

car stunt

I found a cool video featuring a guy doing an awesome car stunt, only to get hit by another car coming from the other direction seconds after. It's obviously fake, but it's nevertheless very well done and very amusing to look at :)

Real life vs Internet

This is a great movie about the differences between real life and the internet. It might take a short while to load, but it's really worth it :)
If you look around the site, you'll see there are many more absolutely hilarious movies there.

Useless Japanese inventions

The Japanese have their occasional weird moments to say the least. Check out this site to see a bundle of the most useless inventions they've come up with lately. Some might actually be used if you have an open mind, but others are just too weird for words :D

Ski? Skate? Mini bike?

I don't know what this is but it seems like a lot of fun :)
I want to buy this :)
But I'm afraid I'm going to brake a leg :)

Juggling

Think you can juggle? Prove it! Keep the 3 balls of the ground, you can drop a maximum of 5 balls before it's game over. My top score is 820, try to beat me :)
Juggling

Zoom

This is just amazing, it makes you dizzy, but it's well worth it. You can zoom in and zoom in and zoom in, it never ends :)
The whole thing is very Escher like and drawn in a very pretty way. It's actually hard to describe, you have to see it to see the magic, and believe me,there is magic in there :)
Zoooom

Face

I don't really know what I have to think of this, it's kinda crêêpy, but it's fun! :)
You can play with the face to see various facial expressions.
I don't know what the use of that is, but somehow you get hooked at it fast for some while. :p
Have fun :D

Aerial picture

Do you want to see your house? I guess you've seen that enough.
Want to see your house from above? I think lots of you are saying yes right now :)
When you go to this site, you can type in your address and state, and it shows you a aerial picture of your house and street. Too bad that if you zoom in to house level, the aerial pictures become a little blurred. But you can still make out your neighborhood out really well.

Color scheme

If you ever made a website, you know that picking colors isn't the easiest task you will have to do. And when you finally picked a main site color, then you still have to find a lot of matching colors for the rest of the page. If you aren't a natural with colors,like me, this can lead to a site with such a mismatch in colors, that the visitors run/click away screaming :)
luckily, for all the colorblind, some sites offer free colorscheme creators. And I found one!
At first sight it looks really decent. The picked colors look good to say the least.
Go here to look what colors your site should have :)

Ballpoint pen art

I found this amazing art site that I had to share. It's unbelievable what this guy can do with just a ball point pen, his drawings look like if it were real pictures.
Why are you still here, Go check it out:)

Mount St. Helens

Looks like Mount St. Helens woke up again. Up until now there's only been a small eruption and some smoke, well, a lot of smoke coming out of the crater, and some minor earthquakes.
A scientist described the eruption as a 'hiccup'.
Let's hope we get to see something bigger soon,I want to see some action.
Not as big as in 1980, but something.

Talk to the hand

Isn't technology great? They're developing a new kind of phone at the moment. One where you have to use your finger as part of the receiver. So you talk to your wrist and you listen by putting your finger in your ear. :)
This looks great, but I has it's downsides/dangers. I mean, we just got 'hands free' phones, and now they make hands a requirement again. Or the transferring call pranks. Something like: "Hey John, you got a phonecall, someone called Wet Willie" :D

Popoint

The point of this game is to click the numbers from 1 to 15 as fast as possible in the right order. My best is 6.106 seconds. Beat me :)
Or at least try ;)

Billboard

A seven headed 'strike force' had fun by changing a gigantic Resident Evil billboard somewhere in L.A.
They 'modified' Milla Jovovich's head and pasted a Big 'p' in front of the 'resident'.
The result is quite funny :)

Ice cream

After becoming a worldplayer in the automobiles and the electronics sector, the Japanese have decided they also want to become a big player in the ice cream business. We all know that japanese people are hard workers who can get stuff like this done if they want, but somehow I got a feeling that they won't have a big breakthrough just yet. Check this site out for some of the japanese style ice cream flavors.

Super mini ipod

The ipod is cool, the ipod mini is even cooler, but the super mini ipod is just unbeatably the coolest :D. It's the smallest 1000 songs player ever. It's selling at a "bargain" price right now, so go look quick and place your bids.

Click!, click!, click!

404

aren't you just tired of 404 pages? Well, I am. I don't like them, I can't see them anymore.
Or are there different ones? Are there cool or funny 404 pages out there? Well, yes there are :)
And I came along a very funny one. Go check him out.


Funny 404

EDIT: well, it's like someone up there is playing with me. The funny 404 parody page is now giving a regular 404 page. pff.
But until the 1st one is back, I found another funny 404 for you. A WMD-themed one :)

Find the WMD's

And another one :)Don't say I didn't made it up to you guys :)

Pictures

Sorry about the pictures in this blog being offline for a while. All of the pictures on my blog are hosted at photobucket, but they seem to have a small/big problem with something. Therefore the pictures will sometimes load and sometimes won't load, or some will load and some won't. :)
I'm sure they'll fix it soon.

EDIT: The problem seems to be solved. let's hope it stays that way :)

Finding Google a little slow or boring lately?

300 Km/h

BMW developed a hydrogen powered car that can reach speeds up to 300Km (185 miles)per hour. It goes from 0-100km/h in just 6 seconds! And it looks sooo cool.
Hydrogen doesn't pollute, so that's good. Only problem is, until they can produce electricity without using fossil fuels, this technology is kinda useless, cause instead of using fossil fuels up in cars, like today, they will use them up to produce electricity, which in turn makes the hydrogen, and that wouldn't solve much, would it?
So thumbs up everybody for solar energy :)

Chinese name

Want to know what your Chinese name would be? And which sign you are in the Chinese zodiac? Go here, fill in some details and see :)

My name would be Bai Rui-kuang and I was born in the year of the rat.

Fight Sp@m

Are you getting annoyed too with all those advertising sp@m mails and pôp-ups you have to deal with every day? Ever wanted to get revenge, to get even? Well, now you can, well at least a little bit. [edit:sorry, dead link] specializes in using up sp@m sites' bandwidth. Just open the page and let it run as long as you like, every second you leave the window open, bandwidth is used from the sp@msites, shutting them down eventually when they exceed there monthly bandwidth allowance :)
This will make them lose revenue and abandon the site. Probably to start a new one, which will be attacked too :)

EDIT: Sorry, the link died :(

Here you have to follow the moving sphere with your mouse cursor. Straying off makes you lose energy. I managed to score 7812, try to beat me :)

Dodge the dot

I came across a funny little timewaister. Avoid the dots and the outlines by moving your mouse. I managed to get to the point where they turn off the lights. After that it just very hard. Try it and see how far you get :)
You can cheat if you want and figure out how :)

Google, the beginning

Did you ever wonder how google looked when it was still a university project from some students in Stanford? Before it became the well known leading search engine?

Well, it looked like this.

And here are some pictures of the hardware they used back then :)

Jimmy the fin

Fun little timewaister. Avoid the jellyfish by going up and down, and travel as much distance as possible. Easy? Just try and we'll see :)

Invisibility game

This is a fun, but very hard game I found on the web today. You have to move your mouse along a certain path, but you don't see your mouse-arrow-pointer-thingy. I got stuck on lvl 6. Try it and see how far you get :)

Invisible mouse

The Sims2

I played the sims2 today. Looks like fun :)
There are a lot of new features: a cool 3-d view, your character ages, you can build 3 story houses, and that's just a small part of the new things.
The game itself is massive, a full 3.5 Gb and 4 installation disks. But what would you expect with such a big game.
I think I'm going to play this a lot over the next few days or weeks. Unless there's something even better coming up, you never know.

Dragon test

Took one of those internet tests too today. What's your inner dragon...
Turns out I'm A Amethyst Dragon!

In the war between good and evil, a Amethyst Dragon tends to walk the fine line of Neutrality....
When it comes to the powers of Chaos vs. those of Law and Order, your inner dragon walks a fine line between Law and Chaos....
As far as magical tendencies, Magical spells come as natural to the Amethyst Dragon as breathe from it's body....
During combat situations, whether by spells or by claw, your inner dragon will do whatever it takes to get the job done....
The Amethyst Dragon makes its home in the deep caverns of the earth, often in mountainous regions. They spend much time in hibernation as one of their favorite things to do is to sleep.'
Formed from translucent amethyst, it is an awe inspiring sight to see one in it's true form. Light passes through the dragon's body creating a deep purple glow. It's scales will magnify the light rays into bright lavender beams to highlight this effect.'
Amethyst dragons spend most of their time homebound but do occasionally feel the need to take a sojourn to a far destination. These dragons love books and will often pick their destination from one of the many stories and histories they may have read. Amethyst dragons are very solitary in nature, but do keep a distant watch on the world around them. They tend to be highly intelligent, and often amuse themselves in human form by building gadgets and toys. Amethyst dragons are very learned creatures.
'
This Dragons favorite elements are: Amethyst, Deep Places, and Magic

You can take the test here

Fathers-4-Justice

Some guy dressed up as Batman climbed up to the buckingham palace a few days ago. Awesome!His fellow Robin didn't make it, he got stopped by some security guards. The reason they went up there is to protest against the fact that dad's most often don't get the custody of their children after a divorce, and the children go live with their mother. That's not all, in a lot of cases the dad can't even go visit their children, even though they have visitation right, because of the mother won't let them come near the children :(

Here's a link to the fathers-4-justice website.

Jeopardy

So the guy who kept winning the American Jeopardy show, finally lost. Some guy who was at the taping of his 75th game saw him finally lose. He ends up with around 2.5 million prizemoney.
to can go here to read the whole Jeopardy story.

Doodlebug

I found a fun website some time ago. It's called Doodlebug.

You can make simple drawings(doodles) there and get them rated by others. You don't get an eraser, so you have to do it right the first time. If the judges find your drawing good enough, they'll give you a bronze, silver or gold star. Or a bronze/silver/gold cup if you do good in a competition.

Try it, it's really fun. The only downside is that the site is offline quite often. This is probably because it's still a work in progress, new things are constantly added. :)

Click here if you want to try it: Doodlebug drawings

Country test

I took the country test.
Looks a bit short and undetailed, but arn't all internet tests that way?

Anyway, turns out i'm like brazil.

You're Brazil!

You're athletic, charming, and probably a good dancer.
 Unfortunatley, you don't really mind chopping down the rain forest, and you probably
consider homeless people expendable in certain circumstances.  Of course, your
personality is so diverse that it's hard to track down exactly what you're like.  You
definitely like Pele, the World Cup, and shouting "gooooal" at the
top of your lungs.

New comment system

I changed the commenting system. Now you don't have to post anonymously if you aren't a blogger member. Thanks Haloscan for the cool system.

KingdomofLoathing

Even though it's the examinations period, I still find myself playing this fun game. It's hilariously weird in the beginning, but surprisingly addictive. There's even a Worth1000 clan! I just love it.

Gmail

Today, the gmail story came up again. Some time ago, some people over at worth told us, that they had found a link where the could create an account on google's gmail. The link appeared in their blogger homepage. Turns out blogger is putting sporadic links on active bloggers' homepages. I totally forgot about this. But I'm on the lookout from now on. It would be great if I could get a gmail account.

UPDATE: Got one! finally! not through blogger though. Someone at Kingdomofloathing sent me an invite :)
