Weird Site Wenesday

The web is filled with helpful, interesting information. Of course it's also chock full of pointless, strange, downright idiotic time wasters. Feel free to categorize the following sites under the latter!

Paint Dry: This site finally takes the age old adage that, "So and so is about as fun as watching paint dry" literally. A web cam has been set up of a freshly painted room that allows visitors to watch paint dry. What could possibly make this site more exciting? What if I told you that you can switch from 3 different camera angles! Yeah, I didn't think that would help...

Psychic Puppy: Why spend money on actual psychics when you can just have an adorable psychic puppy give you advice through digital fortune cookies, tarot cards or Bio-rhythms! For example I found out that in a past life I was Sylvia Platt-Lounge Singer...which is kind of confusing. Sadly out of all of these Psychic Puppy is probably the most useful (and I use the term lightly).

Virtual Stapler: You know how much fun it is to staple things? The only problem is all those wasted staples...if only there was an easier way to enjoy the act of stapling without actually stapling! Well our prayers have been answered in the form of Virtual Stapler! The easy to use pointless no hassle way to staple without the mess! It's easy just:
1. Choose one of three stapler designs
2. Click on said stapler repeatedly to mimic actually stapling
3. Ponder how you will never get the minute of your life you just wasted back

Dress Your Gay Dog: Finally a flash game that allows you to make dogs look more homosexual by dressing them up in stereotypical fabulous looking outfits. Thank you Internet!

Shave Your Yeti: So you've watched paint dry, had your tarot reading done by a dog, pretended to staple and dressed a canine up in garish clothing? What could there possibly be left to do? Why shave a yeti of course! Simply scroll the electric razor across the mythical beast to reveal man boobs and what I imagine Rush Limbaugh would look like half naked.
