Admittedly, it’s another drag-n-drop text-on-picture style generator. And the final product doesn’t get all that large. But with over 200 to choose from (nearly the whole set?), how could you not make one for a friend and email it to them under the heading “bet you thought you’d never see this picture of you again.” No, really, how fun is that? How could you not?

You are in charge of a giant pipe laying project to bring water to people who need it. Rearrange the pipes to let the water flow. It’s harder than it sounds, but easier than it looks (sometimes, especially once you realize it won’t let you spill). Click the pic to get the game.
 
Peter Baldes and Marc Horowitz are taking a road trip together. Only they’re not going anywhere. And they’re not together. How fun is that? Er, wait, maybe I’ve explained it wrong. The pair is sepperated by a couple hundred miles, and couldn’t really find the time to take off, but that didn’t stop them from configuring a virtual road trip in which they are joined by webcam as they continually click along the drive arrow in Google’s Street View and are joined by a chat room of hitchhikers who urge them to pass the real-time with road-songs and car games. It’s everything you’d do on a real road trip, less the gas money, speeding tickets, and lot lizards.

Get a deeper glimpse into the psyche of Iron Mike than ever before in Tyson. Directed by Tyson’s decade-old friend James Toback, this riveting documentary follows Tyson from his troubled childhood in Brooklyn through his rise up the heavyweight ranks, to his downward spiral of failed marriage, a rape conviction, and bizarre comeback bouts…
That, or, you could just watch the compilation of Iron Mike’s funnest moment below. Completely NSFW (language).

Jake Bronstein ate four crustless peanut butter and jam sandwiches in 10 bites.
Bronstein set the record on August 12, 2009 at a World Record Appreciation Society event in New York City. Dan Rollman and Corey Henderson were present to witness the feat.
EDITORS NOTE: I know someone out there can do better. First one to beat this, record it and submit to URDB, wins a free set of Buckyballs + my admiration.
This, via Urban Prankster:
“Make sure you read the instructions carefully next time you’re about to press the button at a crosswalk. Total Crisis Panic Button was installed all over Los Angeles by Jason Eppink. That project inspired the second two, put up by Ryan Laughlin in New Haven, CT.”
Fun, right? Would you even notice if you walked past though? Makes you wonder how much other fun stuff gets drifted by unnoticed.

It’s a virtual keyboard, that you can virtually play… with your keyboard. How fun is that? (Or meta.)Â
LINK: Virtualkeyboard. Thanks to Mikeski for sending it in. I owe an apology to everyone else who sent an email this month (there are a few hundred of you), I’m a bit backed up but I’ll be going through it all soon. Promise.
Shoot cannonballs at stacks of fridges, tv’s, and microwaves to cause maximum damage. Bash, bounce, explode, and burn your way through 49 challenging levels. Aim with the mouse, and click to shoot. Position the mouse further from the cannon to increase shot power. Aim strategically and for higher value targets. Though you’d never know it from the look of things, this is actually another take-away puzzle game like Red Star Fall or Totem Destroyer. If you don’t start by shooting the right thing, you’ll never end with the right score. Totally addictive. Click the pic to get the game.

If you think two girls on two bikes is fun, wait till two minutes in when it becomes two girls one bike. Yup. How fun is that?
First up, Personas. Personas is a component of the Metropath(ologies) exhibit, currently on display at the MIT Museum by the Sociable Media Group from the MIT Media Lab. Plug in your name and it uses sophisticated natural language processing and the Internet to create a data portrait, letting you see you the way the Internet sees you.
Personas too highbrow? Fair enough. Plug in your name on the name anagram and find out what else it spells. I was kinda bummed, until I plugged in my wonderful bride to be and realized she’s “HOARIEST KING” (no, really). Things could be worst I suppose. Plug in your own name and let us know if it spits out something good in the comments below.

10 words I find fun: kerfuffle, whippersnapper, nipple, discombobulated, grommet, condiments, spork, floozy, boa, and dogapult ... more »
Pick up someone else's camera.
Let your face get completely slack.
Shake hard.
Flash.
Wait for it to be found.
Smile.
The next time someone picks you up in their car - say a friend or family member - climb in the back, right-hand seat, leaving the front passenger seat empty. With a straight face, tell 'em where to. It's a little game I call "Chauffeur." Fun.
Write the letters "B" and "R" on a one-dollar bill. Tuck your boner anywhere you please. Pull it out when least expected for maximum effect.
For this one, you need to be in the back of a car.
And you can't be the only one there.
first, let your body go limp (it helps to imagine you've actually got no bones).
Next, undo you're seatbelt.
Now play Jello.
The fun starts midway through the first turn one.
On a hot day, few things beat "stinky ice cream":
While eating with a friend, ask if their's smells funny too.
When they go in for a whiff, give the old elbow a little bump.
Not too hard, just enough to powder their nose.
