INTERESTING PLACES
TO VISIT ON THE INTERNET

All of the sites listed here are glorious time-wasters! There’s nothing educational or informative about them. But then, we all need time to be silly once in a while.

 

Computer Information

Over the years, and Windows’ versions, there’s been a lot of discussion about whether you should turn your computer off at night or leave it on. This site might help you decide what to do! http://www.xs4all.nl/~jvdkuyp/flash/see.htm

 

Bizarre American Laws

This website, entitled "Weird American Laws,” documents the many old state mandates that, despite being clearly outdated, remain on the books as legitimate laws. You can browse the entire site, or just check to see what laws you’ve broken recently. www.azzit.de/humor/30.html

 

Time-Waster Supreme

This website has no useful information, no warnings that turn out to be urban myths, and no pictures that make that lasting impression. But it is fun to watch. http://blueballfixed.ytmnd.com/

 

Pig Latin Translator

If you’ve forgotten how to speak Pig Latin - or never learned, you can correct your educational deficiency at this site. It will translate English to Pig Latin as well as teach you the rules for speaking it.

Optical Illusions

Here’s a site full of optical illusions. It’s not as silly as those above, but still pretty weird. This site also has lots of other pages I didn’t even look at because I was too cross-eyed! http://brainden.com/eye-illusions.htm

 

Mind Reader

An amazing puzzle! This will boggle your mind! Take your time and follow the instructions and type in your numbers. It’s truly magic! http://digicc.com/fido/
