Seven Silly Sites To Have Fun With

Most Web surfers can't resist wasting time at Web sites that have nothing useful to offer them, and there are lots of those types of sites out there. Here are some of the most entertaining sites to spend a few minutes or hours at during your day. < p>

Unnecessary Knowledge You probably didn’t know that the average person laughs 13 times a day. Or that you are approximately two inches taller when you wake up than when you go to sleep.  You’ll find these and many other completely useless facts at this site. Just click on “generate unnecessary knowledge” to keep reading more of this kind of trivia.

Nailing Jelly To A Wall: Is It Possible?  You’ve heard the expression,“It’s like nailing jelly to a wall,” to describe a difficult task. Well, here’s a person who decided to see if it’s actually possible to nail jelly to a wall. There’s a step-by-step discussion here, with lots of pictures, and you can waste a good chunk of time seeing the result of this completely pointless exercise.

Toss A Ball. This one is so simple a five-year-old could do it: which should worry you if you spend a lot of time here. All you do is click on the little bouncing ball, move it somewhere on the screen, and let it drop. Then you watch it bounce up and down, until it stops. If it sounds completely idiotic, that’s because it is – but somehow, strangely fascinating.

LogoMotto Here’s another one where you just keep clicking and funny things show up on your screen. This site mixes up well-known company logos and mottos, for some amusing results. Just keep clicking on “Refresh” and you’ll see things like: the Deutsche Bank logo with, “Because I’m worth it,” or, the Jaguar logo with, “Don’t leave home without it”.

Literally, A Web Log You'll like this one if you're a word person. This blog is devoted to abuse of the word “literally”, and there are some hilarious examples from the media. Like the actress who said she would “literally” implode if she didn’t get to play a part in a movie. Or the YouTube video that has Joe Biden saying “literally” eight times in about a minute.

World’s Most Bizarre Statues You have to wonder who would pay good money for an upside down statue (Australia); a huge shark sticking out of a roof (United Kingdom); and a giant piece of. . . oh, well, see it yourself (Brazil).

Weird Converter Here’s another treasure chest of useless facts. At this site you can find out how many kegs of beer you can fit in an Airbus A380; how many Shaquille O’Neals you could put in the Great Wall of China; and how many hockey pucks you could fit in a Blue Whale. There’s really no reason to know any of these things, which is why it’s an excellent site for wasting time.

These are just a few of the many excellent sites on the Web where you can waste hours of your day!
