'Press the Spacebar 2000'

See how many times you can press the spacebar in a given length of time. Truly the greater timewaster ever.

Sponsored by an Office Supply company, but you can upload photos of your friend's faces and paste them on to the bodies of dancing elves. It's particularly amusing dancing out of character for your friend or family member.

Recommended by the 'Boise Friend of the Program'. Threadless is a community based around T-Shirt designs that members submit, and other members buy. If your design is chosen, Threadless pays you money!

Good designs, though – regardless. It's a good place to try your hand at T-Shirt design, since everybody has the idea of starting a T-Shirt company; see how well your design does.

Divorce Statistics, Crimes, and best of all, Salaries of all State employees! It's your right to know!

Wow. Street Fighter meets Deuteronomy (that's a book in the Bible)
Jesus, Eve, Mary, Moses, Noah, and Satan are all playable characters
Noah looks like the guy on the fish sticks boss if he had spent time in prison.
Moses has special moves like 'Stone Tablets of Fury' 'Burning Bush' and 'Rain of Frogs'
Eve can summon Adam out of the mud to punch you
One of Mary's special move is 'Immaculate Deception'

or Search 'House of Cosbys'

This contains strong language throughout, and the so-called 5th episode is in particularly bad taste. However, the ridiculousness of it all is really quite funny.

A series of videos about a Bill Cosby fan who wanted a Cosby of his very own, so after a Bill Cosby standup show, he found a Bill Cosby hair, then worked to create a cloning machine. Needless to say, he was successful in his endeavor, and began cloning his own Cosby's. Think Multiplicity, only starring Bill Cosby, and with a Superhero twist.

A collage of album covers, cult favorite movies, books, vintage magazines, musical instruments, youtube videos and other things found online. You can narrow down what types of items you are looking at: ie, indy CD covers or books about UFOs, and so on. As you mouse over the covers, it magnifies the cover and allows you to read more about it. If you're interested, it is clickable and will take you to a full-size version of the image or to Amazon where it is for sale. If not interested, move on.

Recommended by 'Boise Friend of the Program'. This was submitted with Kerry in mind; Extra Tasty.com is an online community of people who enjoy drinks and sharing drink recipes.

You can have a drink recipe sent to your phone, or download it to your iPod.

They also have a great feature where you specify what you have in your bar, and they will narrow down the list of what recipes are available using only those recipes.

Or search 'G Space'

G Space; Firefox Addon

It turns your gmail account into a virtual drive.

Gmail currently has over 5 gigs of space (and counting) that most people can't fill with regular email. You can have multiple gmail accounts set up through this, so I have one for pictures, one for music.

This works well because you can play music that you have uploaded to your gmail account through G Space! You can view individual pictures as well.
