Websites to Waste Your Week 5

Web Talk

This week’s list of totally non-productive websites to make your work day go by faster.

Here’s issue five of the Websites to Waste Your Week. Or maybe we should rename it “WWW” to make us remember this article’s title better. Of course, WWW is kinda taken already, so we’ll have to come up with a better name. Ah well, here we go:

Juggler

It’s ironic you’ll be playing this juggling game instead of juggling work, but there you go. Can you keep all three balls in the air? I sure couldn’t, but that’s probably because I have the dexterity of an intoxicated orangutan.

Bored?

Feeling like you could use some therapy via the Internet? Well, you’re in luck. Check out the Bored? website and click on the mood you’re currently feeling. The website will try to console you, or offer advice. Now that’s some good internet psychiatry!

Hedgehog Launch

Have the overpowering urge to slingshot small animals into space? Sure you do. In this addictive online game, you’ll have the power to launch hedgehogs into space, all for the name of science, of course. And don’t worry, these hedgehogs are happy to take part in the space program.

Winterbells

Speaking of lauching small furry innocent animals into the stratosphere, here’s another fun game. This time it’s rabbits instead of hedgehogs, but that doesn’t take away from the fun in seeing how high you can make a rabbit go.

Funny Metaphors Used in High School Essays

Here’s a good chuckle: actual metaphors used in essayes written by high schoolers. Some really funny ones, but I won’t spoil the “lolz” from you.

Pictures for Sad Children

A great if not grim and gritty at times webcomic. It gave ol’ SlackerDan a good laugh, and believe you me that’s pretty impressive because I’m one helluva critic. Anyways, Pictures for Sad Children is quite funny, although I’m not sure I’d read it just before bedtime.

Photos at the Right Time

Sometimes I like nothing better than perusing funny picture collections. I found this beauty and it is hilarious (although some pictures may make you wince.) There’s some pretty impressive pics here of, well, things that happened at the moment the picture was taken.

How Geek Are You?

Similar to last week’s The Nerd Test ver 2.0; here you can get your geek score. Not too many questions either, so you can easily hide this webpage when you hear your bosses’ heavy tread through the cubicle maze.

Stripes

Now here’s a real time waster, and an optical illusion as well. Just slide the vertical lines over the other lines to make the optical illusion come alive for your wonderment. Doing it for more than five minutes will induce a peaceful Zen mediation effect, so lean back in your office chair get comfy.

Gorbachov: The Music Video

And in the fine tradition of finishing up this week’s Waster, may I present to you Gorbachov: The Russian Video: Bigger and Russianer.
 


Now that’s one stylin’ superhero, bringing soft drinks and denim jeans to the thousands, if not millions, of post-soviet folk. He’s strong, he’s valiant, he’s Gorbachov!

Well, ol’ SlackerDan hopes you enjoyed the above ten links. See how many of them you can visit before a snoopy co-worker or boss discovers you’re throwing virtual rabbits around on your computer.
