More Time Wasters

From the Llama Guys:
--The ubiquitous state locator
--A version where the states disappear after you've placed them (ultra-hard version)
--The European version

From the Happy Dog:
--It'sJava Bowling

And from a number of people:
--The piggy personality test

Can you tell I've been writing my thesis again today?

Hey Ben-- I got 100% up to level 4 on the European one..... I still remember all that AD sh*t. Unbelievable. Beyond that, it's freaking impossible to place Liechtenstein or Andorra on an empty map properly....

Update: Here's another one, from Prof. Taylor:
The Ron Mexico Name Generator
(for those of you who need an alias for that herpes-spreading booty call) Mine is Victoria Monaco....

Heidi Bhutan -> The Kingdom of Bhutan is a small, landlocked nation. The local name for the country, Druk Yul (pronounced dru ΓΌ), means "land of the dragon". Way cool!

Aieee... that state locator where the previous states vanish is EEEEEEEEEVIL.

(Got 94% on the 1st one, 54% on the second. You'd think they'd put terrain features in. Sheesh.)

I love these things... keep 'em coming!

On the second... dunno if that's good.
