More Stumbleupon Fun

OK, so maybe I'm an easily entertained idiot, but I have fun with this on occasion. I understand there are other (more useful and intelligent) ways to find new sites on any given subject matter. But I love the randomness (is that a word?) of SU.

StumbleUpon - "StumbleUpon is an intelligent browsing tool for sharing and discovering great websites. As you click Stumble!, you'll get high-quality pages matched to your personal preferences. These pages have been explicitly recommended (rated I like it) by friends and other SU members with similar interests. Rating these sites shares them with your friends and peers – you will automatically 'stumble upon' each others favorites sites."

Usual Disclaimer: For entertainment purposes only. I'm not necessarily suggesting everything on these sites is legitimate. Therefore, I am not sugesting that I personally believe in the information contained in the sites I list. Nor am I endorsing all the content that might be found on such sites, as I have not thoroughly screened them for offensive or inappropriate content. Click at your own risk.

OneWord - "simple. you'll see one word at the top of the following page. you have sixty seconds to write about it."

Paper CD Case - "Use this website to create a PDF file which can be printed and folded to create a paper CD case. For folding directions, see the about section. To add more tracks, a mailing address, or graphics to the case, use the advanced form."

Time Travel Fund - "One day, it may be possible for people living far in the future to retrieve you from your current frame of reference (their past - your present) and bring you into the future (their present - your future.) You make a small contribution to the fund, and in a few hundred years that small amount grows to a very large amount. From that fund, moneys will be taken and used to retrieve you, perhaps seconds after you join, perhaps even moments before your recorded death, perhaps some other point in your lifetime. Further, the fund may even pay to have you "rejuvenated" medically (assuming this is scientifically possible at that time,) and support you financially for a number of years. (Note: Retrieving you just before the moment of death is just one possible scenario, but one that would avoid any Star Trek(TM) type paradoxes. There are an unlimited number of other possibilities, and we do not know what they will do, we can only make reasonably informed guesses.) Our fee is only $10, of which a percentage is placed into the fund, to grow and earn interest, and the rest is used to pay for overhead in running the website, covering legal fees, paying for your certificate, and maintaining the database of members."

Extreme Ironing - "Welcome to the home of extreme ironing - the latest danger sport that combines the thrills of an extreme outdoor activity with the satisfaction of a well pressed shirt."

Amazon Filler Item Finder - "Certain items at Amazon.com qualify for free shipping, but sometimes purchase fall short of the minimum $25 needed to recieve the free shipping. Enter the amount you need to get free shipping in the box above to see a list of products that will get you free shipping."

Geek Test - How G33K are you?

How to Pour Ketchup - "Are you one of those people who taps at the bottom of an inverted ketchup bottle, waiting in frustration for the sauce to pour? I am speaking of traditional ketchup bottles, not squeeze tubes, wide-mouth jars, or bottles designed to stand on their heads. Have you ever wondered if there is a right way to do it – a way that works, and makes scientific sense? Yes, folks, there is a right way to do it, and it does make sense. Here is how, and why."

Useless Office Skill # 162: Telephone Songs - "You can play music on your phone by pressing the buttons on the top (1,2,3)...and along the side (6,9,#). But don't play the 4,5,7,8,*, or 0. They sound even worse than the others."
