Today I give you a couple of strange websites. I hope that they are as procrastinatingly fulfilling for you as they are for me. Some will make you laugh, some will make you cry, and some will leave you scratching your head.
Longmire Does Romance - This man has "revised" some romance novel covers...you know the ones: half naked woman in the arms of a man with hair that every woman envies.
20 Questions, Web Style - Think of something and let the computer guess what it is. My first "thing" was the golem (not from Lord of the Rings, but the Jewish golem). It got close by guessing "vampire" which in the scheme of things is really similar in conception.
Gnomz - Create your own comic strip! All kinds of characters--I made one with V aliens as the stars. You're supposed to be able to post them online, but I couldn't get it to work. Even so, it's still a fun way to kill a few minutes at work.
McSweeney's Reviews of New Food - Not as interactive as the last two, but just as entertaining. One of my favorite lines: "Kellogg's Disney Princess Fruit Snacks do not actually taste like princesses."
Found Magazine - Pictures of found items.
Well, that's all for now. Now that it's summer, work is less demanding than it usually is, so I'll have plenty of time to dig up more of these. And please let me know if you have any favorites of your own!
