Quirky Japan
Form this site we learned:
- The pill wasn't available in Japan until 1999
- Almost half of all Japanese keep their pants at their knees when on the toilet
- Love hotels are really wierd and kinda of cool.
What's better?
This website has a simple elegant premise. Two items are chosen at random. You are asked to choose which is better. Then two more items are displayed. The results of the competions are tabulated and what you you end up with, or should end up with, is an objective ranking of good things to bad things. So what's the best thing going? Surprise. Surprise. It's sex followed a sense of humor and then love. The worst: prejudice, AIDS, and the very worst thing the holocaust. Note: New Yorrk City comes in at a paltry 1009nth best, just barely beating out Snuffleupagus.Go to the site
Astor Rubik
Although AllTooFlat.com frequently finds itself on the opisthosomal edge of hillarity and obsurity, their transformation of the Astor place cube into a giant Rubik's cube is an achievement which is certainly worth a look.Go to the site
Physics Tricks
Self professed crackpot physicist William J. Beaty shares his collection of "tricks." You've got to love any site that advocates connecting an aquarium rock to your gas stove, dropping it in a bucket of water, and then lighting the water (millions of bubbles disappear in an instant with no visible flame).
Hone your ninja skills
Test your reaction speed against these Ninja opponents. For added fun you can smoke a cigarette and watch your reaction time improve, or have a few beers and watch your ninja skills go in the toilet. [Sadly the Ninja site is down. So you'll have to play with the almost nearly as fun bullet dodging site instead. Try and beat our score of 21,438 . ed]
