PLAY: Spit Ball Warrior

It’s probably just the Ren & Stimpy style graphics, but somehow, hitting goofballs, bullies, and nerds in the face with spit balls – even just digitally – is just about as fun as you’d always hoped it would be. Yup, good times. Click the pic to get the game.

FUN VIDEO: Highway Superman

That can’t be safe, but it’s definately fun. The same could probably be said of the whole Gumball. Yup.

USEFUL (ish): Recession Blocker

If you’re anything like me, squeezing max-fun out of every day means curating what makes it’s way into you mind in the first place (nothing too graphic, gratuitously violent, or depressing. No watching Fox during their news block. You get the idea). Recession Blocker goes a long way toward skimming off the bad stuff before it poisons your mind. How’s it do it? Simple, plug in the URL of any site you’d like to look at (CNN was my first stop) and it blocks out words like “depression,” “economy” and “bank.” You’d hardly know we’re in the midst of a, well, I’m not going to say the word. How fun is that?

QUICK: Pornstar Or Potato

 
You’d think it’d be easy to tell the difference between the two. Turns out, it’s not all that hard to mistake the one for other. It’s an error Hugh Hefner has surely made in the kitchen, late at night, at least once. Have a click and see if you can do any better. Round one is easy. It always is. But then the pornstars get more potato-y and the potatoes get more, well, you get the idea.

HONORARY DOGGLER: This Guy

 

I don’t know who he is, or what’s his story. All I know is, I first saw this picture two days ago, and haven’t stopped thinking about following his lead since. Is the world big enough for two Gameboy Flavor Flavs? I think so. How fun is that? NOTE: Pictures to follow just as soon as I find the key to my storage space.

PLAY: Cannon Blaster 3

Even more Cannony goodness than 1 or 2. Toss your durable self from one cannon to the next, you airborne nut! Spacebar to launch, arrow keys for barrel moving, and as always, clicking the pic gets the game.

FUN READ: 6 People Who Accidentally Found Fortunes

 

No, but like, really found it… accidentally. Take Eric Lawes. In November 1992, a farmer living near the village of Hoxne in Suffolk, England, lost a hammer in one of his fields, so he asked Eric Lawes to use his metal detector to search for it. While looking for the hammer, Lawes happened upon something else of interest — 24 bronze coins, 565 gold coins, 14,191 silver coins, plus hundreds of gold and silver spoons, jewelry, and statues, all dating back to the Roman Empire. When it was all said and done, $2.6 million found its way to Eric’s pockets. And there’s five others just like him. Mental Floss has their stories.
