Snapple Factoids | |
|
A few disclaimers.....
* rawd2 sent me this link - I didn't find it myself.
* Of the 38 wrong answers I gave, 36 were after a 5-pint liquid lunch, so I can kid myself than I'm not such a dolt after all.
* Many of the answers rely on making very American-centric assumptions; a few rely on pedantically precise interpretation of the wording; quite a lot rely on pretty loose interpretation of the wording.
* Every answer could be looked up and there's no time-out (that I found - I did leave it over lunch, after all), so you could just look stuff up and get 100% but that would be pretty sad.
* Nonetheless, it's good fun. (16 comments...) | |

There are some cool games on this site, but far and away the best is Insaniquariam. Feed the fish, shoot the aliens - what more could you need? | |

Another mini golf game - don't think it's possible in 18, but probably doable in less than my 10-over par first attempt (5 comments...) | |

Seen this on the Tideway Slug. The person lives in Cambridge, so not far to collect. Current high bid £30. Judging by the user name of the high bidder - is this a FaT person (trin0728)? (1 comment...) | |

I think this is our 100th link.
Anyway:
a) The poll is back. Website veterans will remember well the 2001 poll - I think it's been fixed since then but it's still vital to keep Cambridge above 50%.
b) You used to be able to change the logo in the top corner so you could have it light blue... can you still do this? I can't see how... | |

Slime football | |

From the same site as Andy's 'Gridlock', try World Cup slime football. Pretty straightforward until the semi-finals, it then becomes much tougher.
It looks as though this site might contain many more entertaining games, but can anyone read the lingo? (7 comments...) | |

The most bizarre flash game that the BBC have ever come up with. Can you pluck Mark Lawrenson's upper lip fast enough to prevent his moustache growing back? Add in corner flags coming out of his ears and badgers invading the screen, and you've got one messed up game... | |

Googlism in reverse. Enter a question such as "Who is boat club captain?" and get a list of possible answers. Sixth on the list is, impressively enough, Andrew Fisher. But not before three Boar's Head members. And check out who follows Andrew on the list... (33 comments...) | |

Googlism | |
|
Another great way to find descriptions of your favourite everyday objects:
what is rowing? rowing is fun. rowing is the best sport on the planet.
what is first and third? first and third is absolutely free. first and third is a tall order but we're more than capable of doing it. first and third is particularly well suited to popular styles where there is usually a bass drum hit on the first beat.
who is martin peck? martin peck is pissed.
who is graham fisher? graham fisher is working up to twenty years experience and is a certified canoe.
who is john earl? john earl is a bit of a pratt. john earl is out on bail this morning. john earl is now deceased. (41 comments...) | |
