Moving Tip Calculator: How To Bribe Your Friends Into Helping You Move
Since college kids are moving back this week, the Movoto blog thought it was appropriate to invent a way for them to figure out how much they should tip their friends for helping them lug their junk around.
Hence, the Moving Tip Calculator. Worth messing with and it's definitely something to take away someone's productivity for a bit.

Mugshot Yourself
The face of history is not in the well-preserved faces of the famous, but in the remains of those who lived in the moment. Join them here, find your place among them. Here, the moment is 1864, and here are the faces of their time, captured on film by lawmen and flatfoots. Con men, petty thieves, prostitutes... Oh, and you.
Meet 1864's greatest rogues, then become one yourself.
Try your face on different mugshots. Here's my mugshot.

Panic Button Light Switch
In every sci-fi film or TV show, there is usually one easily recognizable trope - the panic-button. The big shiny candy-like button that erases history, ejects the warp core, blows the emergency seals, activates the self-destruct, sounds red-alert, engages the hyperdrive, activates the halide fire-retardants, or simply flushes the waste-disposal system is a regular character in most sci-fi.
It's curious, then, that the Big Red Button doesn't appear in your home or office! Wouldn't it be great to have one of those buttons, even if pressing it doesn't warn the sentries that the world-killer virus has escaped containment? What about your light-switch? Isn't that little flippy-lever overdue for a makeover?

Burp
A brusque farmer is driving the truck with his big fat pig in the back. Passing the dark and foggy road he's suddenly attacked by a huge UFO. The farmer and the pig have no sense why they are being attacked. What is the truth of this chase? How are the farmer and the pig going to get out of this danger?
