    having days off in the middle of the week can be a dangerous thing.

    to wit:

    watching the Today show on NBC today, there was a guest on talking
    about the newest game fad. one of the ones sweeping the country is
    called "Google Whacking"

    the goal is to be the fastest person who can find a search term in
    Google that only brings back one search result.

    now does it sound like fun?? hmmm... not really. but apparently this
    game has become so addicting to some that there is already a national
    chapter of "Google Whackers Anonymous" forming.

    HA, join the club, we've got jackets!

    Sorry, that's the eggnog talking. And the Christmas Lunch. And the Christmas Supper.

    Burp.

    Ever watched that nature documentary where the giant snake slowly ingests a small cow and spends 3 months digesting it?

    That's how I feel right now. I may never eat again ....

    Here's addicting if you are a movies buff:

    http://www.cs.virginia.edu/oracle/

    It's the old "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" game. Apperantly, it's actually a doctoral or some other higher-degree project. It is quite addicting though.

    A little off topic but search google for "elgoog" and click "I'm feeling lucky" and you will get a mirror image (back wards google site). A bit of a different novelty.
