PHUN



Not so much a game, but instead a time-waster.

Run your cursor over the multi-colored balls and split them into more, all the way down to the pixel level. When you're done, an image will be revealed.

To be honest, I've not had much free time lately and haven't finished this to conclusion, so I don't know what sort of image is behind the balls.

(If it's a nude woman, someone tell me and I'll find the time to finish take it down.)

letters to dead people

letters to dead people is a simple but brilliant idea: write a letter to the deceased and let them know how you feel. Most of the letters are written by the site's owner, but she also takes reader submissions. Some are silly, some are poignant and others are laugh-out-loud funny.

For example, one of the latest letters is to Princess Diana:

Dear Princess Diana,
Even in death we did not leave you alone.

Another recent entry:

Dear Marquis De Sade,
You won't find love in the crack of a whip, but I guess you were never looking for love in the first place.

One of my personal favorites:

Dear Isaac Newton,
Heavy, man, heavy.

My very favorite, however, is my own selected for publication.

I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself.

Can You Eat It?

Take the Can You Eat It quiz on the TLC site.

I scored 70%, but object to the wording of some of the questions. One possible answer is "maybe", and that's where I went wrong - according to them. It wasn't part of the quiz, but as an example of one of the ambiguous questions would be "Can you eat a rattlesnake?" The answer would be "Yes", but one wouldn't want to eat the fangs or the rattles, would they?

arcanum

arcanum \ar-KAY-nuhm\ , noun; plural arcana \-nuh\
1. A secret; a mystery.
2. Specialized or mysterious knowledge, language, or information that is not accessible to the average person (generally used in the plural).



I don't understand why this word isn't a synonym for women.

It is in MY case, anyway.
