Death to all moths

There are days when boredom and irritation at the behaviour of your colleagues can make you want to release aggression.

Instead of shouting at your co-workers, head to this website, where you can staple some virtual moths to a wall. It is weirdly satisfying but it’s probably not wise to tell your colleagues what all the frantic clicking is about. They may start to worry.

Thumb through these rules

Everyone loves hearing advice.

I like nothing better on a weekend than inviting a whole bunch of people round to inspect my house for poor design – and then booking a hotel 400 miles away.

Rulesofthumb.org is not your everyday boring know-it-all though. It contains reams of information on things that matter to you.

It has handy hints on raising ostriches and how to dig a grave.

Writing music is a good way to make millions of pounds and travel the world.

But what if you’ve got the lyrical skill of a bag of hyenas?

Never fear, dear reader, because with this handy rhyme generator you can construct your own forced choruses minus the quizzical mouthing.

Type in a phrase and click on one of the words with your cursor while holding down the Alt key – a gaggle of potential rhymes will appear.

Why not snap a banana

London is a truly multi-cultural city.

Everywhere you look, you can spot light skin, dark skin... and of course banana skins.

But while there are plenty of column inches dedicated to the diversity, this is the first we’ve seen that tracks down this particular fruit.

There are plenty of photos to choose from. Whether it’s unethical to snap bananas without their permission is a completely different question.

Why not put on a meat hat?

THE weather is hot enough to melt concrete, so why not shade yourself from the sun’s rays with a hat made of meat?

OK, so maybe it’s not the best idea to wander around with a dead pig on your head, but that hasn’t stopped carnivores from around the world submitting photos of their favourite extra-rare headgear.

These juicy protein-rich accessories will definitely get you noticed.

Website of the week

Some of our timewaster websites are ideal for a quick 10-minute ‘break’, while others are perfect for those lunchtimes when you can put your feet up for a while.

Others – like this footy game – are more for those lunchtimes that happen to extend into the afternoon BUT you can’t hide in the pub.

I love Garfield cartoons.
Or I did, until the later ones became rather unfunny.
But up to then they were pure joy – three picture boxes providing a bellyful of laughs as Garfield outwitted his rather slow master.
With that in mind, I find this website slightly disturbing.

WHY do you need a complicated timewaster game?
It’s to fill your brain for a little while, not to complete a masters degree in astrophysics.

So why not try this?
