About a week or so ago, in honor of Zoomdoggle’s one year anniversary, I asked which post you thought was the most viewed in Zoomdoggle’s history. There were loads of good guesses. A lot of people thought maybe it was Love Letters To Strangers (seeing as that got so much national attention), or the Fun Idea Machine (as that got international attention), or the BuckyBalls Contest (having caused such a stir, I could see how you’d think that). In fact, the top three posts, in order are… drumroll please…

HANNA IN A CHOPPA

GUMMI BEAR BATTALION

then the FUN IDEA MACHINE.

Go figure. The internet’s a crazy place, right? So no one got the right answer, then again, I’m not sure how I thought they would. So, in the interest of fun-ness I’m sending out 3 Gummi prints anyway.

DBECH gets one for being the first to guess “Fun Idea Machine.”

MAGGIE gets one for being the next to guess “Fun Idea Machine” even though I’d just posted a comment myself saying it wasn’t the Fun Idea Machine.

LILOAZNANGEL gets one for claiming to have “narrowed it down to 2 months in which it happened in but there is so many posts to go through!” I have no idea how you were working on it, but I like your style.

I’m saving the three sets of BuckyBalls to give away another day, but in the meantime if all three winners would send me their address at iwon at zoomdoggle dot com I can drop your prizes in the mail. Thanks to everyone who played, more to come soon!

This might just be fun because the audio is taken from my favorite scene ever in Extras (the show written by The Office’s Gervais in which he plays an extra trying to break into acting). That’s Patrick Stewart playing Patrick Stewart… “and he’s seen everything. I mean all of it.” Amazing.

WHEN: May 28 – June 1
WHERE: Berlin
WHAT: “The World Championship is a five days music festival with battles, showcases, workshops and the Beatbox Battle World Conference. Over 140 vocal percussion and beatboxing artists from more than 30 different countries will take part in the event. The whole program will be broadcast live online free of charge. For complete details, check out their website, but for a jaw-dropping morning rush, check out the online Wild Card Champ (ie, the newcomer who won entry via YouTube) 17 year old Julia Dales, from Canada.

Unless my ears deceive me, that was Justin Timberlake, Fergie and Nelly Furtado, some rewinds, a car starting, and my heart stopping. Yup, that’s fun.

Having a dispute with a friend (what to have for lunch, whether to rent a clown or punch a mime, it could be anything really)? Find the idea of flipping a coin too pedestrian and absurd in its randomness? Why not bet on the blood sugar of a Type One diabetic instead? Nial Giacomelli is I’m a twenty-one year old web developer living with Type One Diabetes. He checks his insulin levels twice to three times a day. Have each party take a guess at what you think the next reading will be. Whoever comes closest wins. How fun is that?

Playing with people on Craigslist (who don’t realize they’re being played with) is fun… this time in the name of cat soup!

I feel ashamed but I can literally think of nothing funny to respond to this amazing post. How best to lure this guy into the funny talk these Craigslist ads so often lead to? Any ideas? Post ‘em below thanks.

Draw boxes and place them over the boxmen. Each drawn box has to stay perfectly still for five seconds in order to rack up points. See how far you can stack the boxes before they come tumbling down. Several boards to choose from, click the pic to get the game. I’ve just cracked 1000. What’s your top score?

What’s that, there’s only so much pony terror your little heart can take? Might I offer you a bunny fart instead.

NOTE: Really, click the bunny fart. You’re going to like the bunny fart, I promise.

In short, Stweet lets you walk around Google Maps, watching geolocalized tweets pop up in real time. Oh, and Popeye comes along for the walk. Why not? Yup. Spend a few minutes seeing what people are saying about your home town, as they say it, while looking at where they said it from.

You3b lets you watch any three YouTube videos, tryptic-style, all at once. Kind of artsy, kind of fun, kind of confusing. Once you stumble on a good combo, package it up and send to a friend. FULL DISCLOSURE: Login required. Seeing as I’m lazy, I just watched other people’s stuff. Good stuff though.
