Time Wasting Silly Sites

The Internet is a valuable tool for finding information. However, it is also a great high tech time waster. There are a large number of sites devoted to killing time and providing amusement. Everything from games to cheesy music to annoying animations are available to tickle your mind.
Want to see crazy dancing cows, penguins, or the old favorite, the Hamster dance? Nutty Sites (http://www.nuttysites.com) is the home of a number of dancing animations. Before you know it, you will be dancing and humming along with the annoying little critters. The site also includes a number of jokes, magic card tricks, magic web cams, mind readering and the love calculator-all great ways to pass the time when you are stumped on a project a work!
Just Say Wow (http://www.justsaywow.com) has many pages full of animated pictures and sounds with messages and jokes that you can send to your friends. There are also sections for entertainment, fashion, business, politics, health, sports and astrology, as well as to play games and forums to post and reply to messages.
Rinkworks (http://rinkworks.com/) has a selection of some fun things to do.
The Book-a-minute and Movie-a-minute are the ultimate Cole's notes. For instance, the entire plot of the Blair Witch Project boils down to:
Actors: A twig! I'm scared!
Audience: Get me some dramamine.
Actors: Thump.
THE END
There is a collection of funny quotes and bad jokes. "Crazy Libs" allows you to enter verbs, nouns and adjectives, and your choices are replaced into other works, altering them into humorous compositions. "The Dialectizer" allows you to change the language any website into one of eight humorous dialects. You just enter the address for the page and it alters it. You can also alter text you enter into a textbox. There is much more to this site, so have a look and laugh a lot.
