Play Games Online, Help Charities

2010-09-10T12:17:00.015-05:00

Have you ever found yourself wandering the internet, wasting away what would otherwise be valuable time playing silly little games? Ever wondered if maybe you could turn that seemingly useless habit into something productive?

Okay, probably not, but let's assume that you're thinking it now. Well, you're in luck, bud! Now you can donate to many good causes, and do nothing but play little games. Sure, they're trivia, but it's not so bad. You're saving the world in your swivel chair, stop complaining!

Here's a quick overview of some great sites that do just that:

FreeRice
This site is a fan-favorite among "click-to-give" donors (click-to-give means exactly what it says), and rightfully so. FreeRice is perhaps the most popular, well-known site of its kind, having donated over 81 billion grains of rice in just a few years of operation.

FreePoverty
Though the site names are similar, FreePoverty does work with FreeRice. It does, however, have a similar function: you play their trivia game, and by doing so, you're giving. However, this site gives water instead of rice, and has just geography games. Can't say it's not very well done, though.

GamesThatGive
GamesThatGive has all sorts of games - solitaire, blackjack, bubble burst, etc., and you can play them all for charity. Of course, GamesThatGive keeps 30% of the profits from advertisers, but 70% does get sent to the charity. Even better, you get to choose from a large pool of charities to donate to!

Charitii
Charitii is another site, like GamesThatGive, that let you choose from a decent pool of charities to donate to. To donate, you play fill-in-the-blanks crossword games, where you select a synonym from the answers available. It gets progressively harder, until you can't answer, and then it lowers the levels for you again. Don't feel bad about a wrong answer - it's built to be that way!

AIDtoCHILDREN
AIDtoCHILDREN is a lot like FreeRice, in that it is a trivia game using vocabulary questions to donate. However, AIDtoCHILDREN donates to World Vision, which uses the funds for various causes.

So, from now on, feel good about helping the world, because by sitting around and playing silly little games on the internet all day, you really are doing your part.

Every Friday The 13th Death In Order

2010-08-14T14:29:00.007-05:00

In honor of thecreepiest day of the year, here’s an amazing supercut of every single death in the Friday the 13th series, in chronological order.Watch the video......

If there is any problem with the video please report

3 signs you play games too much

2010-08-02T13:05:00.007-05:00

Are you the guy who sits down to play video games a bit too frequently. Face it, man, you’ve become the creatures that you chase in the games you play. But how do you know
when too much is too much? Here’s a checklist of the top 3 signs you play video games too often.

No.3.You wait in line for a game release

What’s the big deal, right? It’s not like a girl is waiting for you to come home to bed. There’s no
thing better to you than being the first one to tear open the plastic and fire up that game that people who have jobs and lives won’t be playing for about 12 hours when the sun is up and they leave the office. But to hell with sleep and dignity; bring a lawn chair and a bucket to piss in so you don’t lose your spot.

No.2 - You think about games when you’re not playing games

It doesn’t matter if you’re at work, at home, on a date (yeah, right, like you’re on a date), or driving on the expressway, you’re mind is running wild with sniper rifles, evil robots, dragons, and alien viruses churning in your console at home. You probably even find yourself saying lines from the games themselves (you’ve never served a day in your life but you speak military because of Call of Duty) -- and you find nothing wrong with that.

No.1 - Your strongest relationships are on the network

Dating? Get real. Boys and a crew? Not even close. Family? Can’t remember what they look like. All of your strongest bonds to other humans come through Xbox Live or the PSN. You can’t remember the last time you spoke to an actual person and you probably don’t want to.Hell, talking to real people never gave you achievement points anyway.

Top 5 weird phobias

2010-07-17T13:26:00.030-05:00

Number 5
Nephophobia
Fear of clouds

Come on, clouds really? what’s wrong with the placidly floating puffy guys? Puzzling.

Number 4
Linonophobia
Fear of string

Really, what could string ever do to someone to bring out such fear? Rope can be used for hanging. Rope can get you dirty if you’re playing tug of war or cause a superficial burn on the skin. Come to think of it, rope doesn’t make for a very good phobia either. So what’s string? That’s mini rope. That’s rope lite.

That’s diet rope. That’s rope’s bitch. No. 4 phobia has people worried? Unless they know something about string that we d
on’t…

Number 3
Epistemophobia
Fear of knowledge

Learning can only make things worse. For these folks, ignorance really is bliss. I wish i could have used this one as an excuse to cut class.

Number 2
Vestiophobia
Fear of clothing

Unfortunately this phobia is not common to single hot athletic women. Instead, it's common to dumpy, potato-shaped, middle-aged men. How sad?

Number 1
Arachibutyrophobia
Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth

Are you kidding?

OK, shouldn’t this be one of the easiest phobias to manage, unless you’re a dog? You can avoid arachibutyrophobia completely. I suggest you start by not ingesting peanut butter.

3 Things most guys regret buying

2010-05-16T08:46:00.004-05:00

Exotic Pets:

First, you start caring for them and everything is going smooth then after a couple of weeks you just get tired of it. you’re paying more money to feed and shelter the animal than you spend on your own weekly groceries. Just get a normal pet.

Tattoo:

Tattoo are perfect for certain people. unfortunately some guys get the dumbest tattoos then regret afterward. Tattoos men should never get like: barbed wire around the arm, the face of your kid, the tribal band, the Chinese symbol when you aren't Chinese and the team logo. If you have these there are some over-the-counter products that can help get rid of the ink gradually. If that fails get it removed by laser.

Jewelry piece for the ex:

So you bought her the perfect gift for her birthday or something, everything some going perfect then it all crumbling down, she broke your heart Even after the messy breakup, you still think about her and that expensive gift If you still own it, sell it. If she still has it, learn from your mistakes. Don't buy gifts that are too expensive buy meaningful ones.

5 things only men can do

2010-05-10T16:08:00.002-05:00

Man scape: The beard and the goatee are strictly male innovations, and growing them are things man can only do. Plus we can wear chest, underarm, leg, ear, and nose hair as proudly and loudly as we like.

Shave our heads: Sure some celebs like Natalie portman and Demi moore have shaved their heads but as a true lifestyle choice in everyday society, guys look better with bald tops than women do. Did you see Britney bald? not a pretty look is it?

Play real sports: Ok there are pretty good female atheletes out there but seriously which of these would you rather watch: WNBA or NBA? NHL or women hockey? NFL or women rugby? MLB or softball? just not as exciting.

Pee standing up: Full bladder, but there’s a line for the urinal? Just step outside and pee behind a dumpster. On a camping trip? Pee and lean against a tree to steady your flow. Women have to unzip, pull down and crouch before they can go. Our process is much easier.

Age well: Our male hormones give us thicker skin, which means we get fewer wrinkles and our skin stays younger longer. Sorry ladies, all your creams, moisturizers and youth-in-a-bottle remedies have nothing on us.

And the Mother of the year award goes to.....

Who is the safe driver Man or Woman?

2010-05-02T18:00:00.001-05:00

Apparently men are danger to human life when they are behind the wheels. The New York Times reports that a recent study by the Social Issues Research Centre (SIRC) says that men are 50 percent to 100 percent more likely to be behind the wheel in a fatal accident than are our female counterparts. The reason for this is because we don't like driving rules. But since i started driving recently I've been noticing lately women seem to be the more aggressive drivers (especially if they're alone). By this I mean speeding, not using turn signals and cutting people off for the most part. Not necessarily aggressive in their attitude (yelling or hand gestures), but they definitely have an "out of my way, I can do what I want" kind of driving style. Seem to be mostly women in their 30's too.
