Here's a great time waster called Escapa!, sent in by Janella:

The object of the game is to move the red block around without getting hit by the blue blocks or touching the black walls.

If you can go longer than 18 seconds you are phenomenal.
It's been said that the US Air Force uses this for fighter pilots. They are expected to go for at least 2 minutes.

I haven't been able to play with it much, but I got 19 seconds in one of my first tries.

Friday Funny- Draw a Pig

Happy Friday! This week's Friday Funny is quick time waster sent in by Silvia. Draw a pig and learn a little bit about yourself.

My answers are below the fold, but don't read them until you've drawn your pig. Unless you're way to cool to draw your own, that is. The main thing I've learned is that I'm much better at cooking pork than drawing it!

If you have a Friday Funny to share, please email me. Have a great weekend, everyone. Cook something good, wouldja?

Time Waster- Noah's Ark Game

Busy day around here, so I'll just pass along another time-waster I got in an email yesterday. I don't recall who sent it to me, so if was you, pat yourself on the back and give me back the 20 minutes you sucked out of my life!

Kidding. Mostly.

Just in case you were planning on being productive this week here's a fun way to kill some time. I haven't gotten to play it much yet, but you rotate the pipes to connect the valve to the drain.

Sure, I have plumbing to fix around the house, but I think this will give me lots of good practice...

Or Will Ferrell? Okay, me neither, but here's a cute game (okay, time killer, who am I kidding?) sent in by Silvia, not that I've had much time to play it yet, but it's fun! Just don't hit Santa, or he'll cuss at ya.

This is a really fun flash game. This went around the 'Net before, but I haven't posted it yet.

My high score last time: 311 feet. Can you beat it?

Caution: Highly addictive, and I'm not even a big gamer.

Thanks to Jim for the link.

Just wasting time on a Saturday morning? Try this:

Apologies to the cat lovers out there.

My high score so far: 717 feet. Can you beat it?

Update: Haven't beat my high score but I've gotten emails from 'upset' cat lovers. If you can find a puppy-tossing game, I'd be happy to post it in the interest of fairness, but you never see those.

I wonder why? :©)

Update 2: Okay Lisa, this is the best I can find. You can drop the puppy if it makes you feel better... ;©)
