Fantastic Four!

So that Fantastic Four trailer that was attached to the Elektra movie (horrible movie) is finally out. While Jessica Alba is hot, and that doctor from Nip/Tuck is cool, I dont know about this movie. The Thing looks horrible, and I heard they had to reshoot the ending because it just couldn't compare to the ending of the Incredibles. Now if only this F4 movie were as cool as the real F4 .

Alphabet Mob

This letter game is a lot of fun. You've got a canvas of letters that you can move around to form your own words. The kicker is that you're sharing the same canvas with hundreds of people online...

A Good Pun

Sometimes you dont need geek humor or nerd humor. Somtimes a good old-fashioned pun will do.

The perfect woman

In the vein of Burger King's Chicken ad.

Beer.Com has created the virtual bartender. This wonder of technology will do pretty much whatever you tell her to.

And she's hot!

Wanna live like Jessica Simpson...

... and not care what you buy?

So there's this site over in the land of tea and crumpets (Eng-a-land) that uses the Amazon Web Services API to find stuff for you. The site i'm f££ling sp£ndy takes the whole google notion of "I'm feeling Lucky" on step further. What you do is tell the service how much dough you got, what kind of thing you want in general (a la "somethign to read", "somthing to watch", "anything", etc.), and how less or more an item can be, and it randomly returns an item from amazon.com.

Of course when I tried it, it didn't work.

20 Questions

Do you guys remember playing 20 questions? You know that game you play on long car rides where your friend/sibling thinks of an "animal, vegetable, or mineral" and you try to guess what it is asking only "yes" or "no" questions, and inevitably you quit because your sister didnt actualy think of an animal, a vegetable, or a mineral, but instead some abstract concept, such as "the number 2" or "a sense of fufillment" and usualy someone ends up in tears. Well now you can experiance all that fun and horror online and even better, against a robot at www.20q.net. Think of anything and this artificial intelligence with guess what it is after only 20 questions. Can you stump it?

Total Eclipse of the Moon

If you're bored and baseball is too slow for you. Go outside and look up. Chances are you'll be amazed by what you don't see. The planet earth and our only moon are scheduling to come into alignment tonight so you can see the effect of the earth's penumbra and umbra.

Here's a viewer's guide that will explain what you're seeing.

For those of you who can't stand the idea of going outside: There will be a webcast put on by the University of North Dakota.

The Eclipse will begin at 8:00PM Eastern Standard Time.

At 10:23, the moon will be in full shadow.

The eclipse should end at about 11:45 PM EST.

Remember, this is the last time to not see the moon till 2007.

Movie Still Spreadsheet

Here's a new cure for boredom:

This is a pretty cool spreadsheet that has a bunch of movie stills. The movie still has been photoshopped to remove the actors bodies, but not their clothing. For some of the stills I'm sure we would have enjoyed it being the other way around, but it still makes for an interesting puzzle.

I was able to get all of the movie titles except for three, which I know i know the answer to, but the stupid spreadsheet isn't taking my answer.

I can post answers in comments later.

Download file

UPDATE::
Holy Crap. I found them Motherload. A website of about 200 of these quizes.
Web based invisible quizes.

A true cure for boredom

I received this gem at work today. It's an excel file with a bunch of stupid little word puzzles. The spreadsheet tells you if you get the answer correct.

I can't figure how they programmed this, but it works.

I have all the answers, if you guys want i'll post them in the comments later.

Download the spreadsheet

The Starbucks commercial with Eye of the Tiger this commercial cracks me up

Office Space. A great movie that makes you think, hey maybe you don't have it so bad.

The Best Tee-Shirt in the Universe

While I was searching the internet for a hilarious T-shirt I saw the other day, I stumbled onto a pretty funny website that boasts such articles as "You're not Dave Chappelle, and you're not funny", "Bill O'Reilly is a big blubbering vagina", "We know you're a cranky bitch, you don't need the bumbersticker" and of course "Christopher Reeve is an asshole". For those of you too lazy to click the link the t-shirt reads "For every animal you don't eat, I'm going to eat 3".

Porn ban

Looks like in Norway the hotel workers are vying for a ban on pornography in hotel rooms. Apparently it causes some of the hotel guests to act inappropriately with the workers. As one puts it, "It can be very unpleasant to get called to a room to be met by a naked man." Didn't Bryant go on a trip to Europe last year? And I believe Noah is there right now. Perhaps he should investigate...

Low on Self Esteem?

Saw this in Rhode Island one day when I went out for lunch.

Kickin' Kids Karate Class. I guess its for big people who have low self esteem. I can imagine going in after work and kicking around a few kids would do wonders for my ego.

Job Posting: Eat Free Food for a living

I'll list this as a cure for boredom because it is only a part time job and not a full time job.

If you live in Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri, New Mexico, Nevada, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas or Washington and you don't mind eating free Jack in the Box Food, boy do I have a job for you.

Jack in the Box is Hiring Mystery Guests . As a Mystery Guest, you are given assignments from a manager to go in and buy food, eat the food, and then fill out a report about your experience. You get reimbursed for the food you buy and eat. If you know of any other jobs like this email me.

AIM today

Big ups to AIM Today (the little window that launches when you load up AOL Instant Messenger) for featuring a porn star as their 'rate a buddy' of the day.

C-Walk on SNL

If you have nothing better to do on Saturday Night or don't have TiVO or Snapstream, watch Christopher Walken - The Best Of - on Saturday Night Live.

I'll be looking for three of my favorites:

1. The Blue Oyster Cult and the Cowbell: (Link goes to video clip)
- C.W. plays Bruce Dickinson, yes THE Bruce Dickinson, in a skit about The Blue Oyster Cult. recording "Don't fear the Reaper. Walken has a fever, and the only prescription is more Cowbell. The Cowbell Player, Gene, is played beautifully by Will Ferrell. So well in fact that the cast loses it a couple times.

2. Ed Glosser, Trivial Psychic:
- C.W. plays a man who can see the future. When he gets a premonition, he gets that trademark scary/crazy C-Walk face. He then procedes to predict an very boring event. This skit is perfect for C-Walk and as always he delivers beautifully.

3. The execution
- In this one, Walken is about to get executed. His Hillbilly executioner keeps making jokes about the execution. Hilarity ensues.

Happy Birthday Jesse

Happy Birthday from all the staff at Bryantchoung.com and from your favorite icon and porn star, Miss Candi Coxxx (not to be confused with Miss Lara Roxx).

Molecule Game

Not the greatest graphics, but pretty fun nonetheless. Kinda reminds me of chemistry class...

20 questions ... against a database

If you're bored. you can play twenty questions.

If you're bored and you have no friends you can play twenty questions against a computer.

Actually, the computer is quite good. You pick a sitcom character or dictator and you let the computer ask you yes or no questions.

It's Explosive!

If you have the patience or the skill to get past the fourth level in this game, I salute you.

Pingu Yeti Sports Yet again

We've come along to part 4 of the Penguin sports. This one isn't as cruel to the penguins. I don't know where this cracked out Chris Hilbert keeps coming up with these game ideas, but this one is on the beach and involves the abominable snowman, penguins, seagulls and kangaroos. Go figure. Leave high scores in comments.

Fun with Iraqis

Who said war wasn't any fun? Have two Iraqi kids and GI Joe say anything you want. Submit your best insult of any BryantChoung.com writer and win a prize! (As long as that certain someone isn't Me.)

For Bailey

Bailey was right, this site needs a hot, steaming injection of estrogen. So just for you Bailey, I give you the internet mamogram. Take a second to read this site.

Coming soon: Some posts about how to cook a ham while not wearing any shoes, and an article on how to keep your refrigerator its whitest. Also: a review of feather dusters: how to balance utility and sexyness.

Mario Reloaded

Before special effects, before computer graphics, there was only one. The one travelled through overworlds, underworlds, and even underwater. He travelled alone. Why? To save a princess. He battle countless enemies, living off of coins, mushrooms, and flowers he picked along the way. After eating mushrooms he could blast througb brick walls and stomp on anything. He was mario.

The modern day hero, neo is also pretty impressive, but Mario did it old school. Before 3d graphics houses and wire shots. Mario did it all himself. But Mario is a fan of movies apparently, and has returned along with the entire cast of Super Mario world to re-enact The Matrix Reloaded. Enjoy.

Thanks to one of our readers, Taemin, for the link.

Soundboards

When I'm bored I like to think about making prank calls with soundboards. I never really do it, but I'll leave that to you guys.

Boogers Make you Strong

Looks like the sweet yet salty concoction that brews in your nose every day is as good as medicine. According to Prof Dr Friedrich Bischinger, he claims that picking your nose is a great way to keep it clean in a way that Kleenex just can't. And instead of wasting your boogers, you should eat them. They will make you strong, training your body to resist bacteria. Since people seem to pick up the weirdest fads for staying healthy or in shape, could global nose picking become a new "trendy thing to do?"

For You Guys Who Are Still In School

This has been around for a while, but for those of you who haven't seen this before, The Spark.com offers free cliffs notes, called SparkNotes. These have helped me out of many 'a jam in College. Also noteworthy on that site is The Fat Project in which they paid a guy and a girl $3000 to gain 30 lbs. in 30 days. As a founding member of the Big Eaters Society, this article holds a special place in my heart.

Funky Flash Game

Jesse, this flash game I found is right up your alley. Its sort of like Leisure Suit Larry, but without the hot babes. Actually, hmm.... does anyone just have a link to the old Leisure Suit Larry games?

Yet Another Yeti Imitation

The title says it all.

Pingu Yeti sports Yet again

They keep making these little games with a yeti and a penguin and each one is addictive. There have been plenty of imitations, but the new ones always start off with a yeti and a penguin. I don't know where they come up with these, but here's the latest penguin toss game.

Coolest Christmas Present Ever

I know its a little early to think about christmas next year, but hopefully this will be available by then. CoasterDynamix is developing model rollercoaster kits. I guess this would be like the bastard child of RollerCoaster Tycoon and model train sets. Although you don't get to ride it it looks so stinkin cool. Watch the video.

Floppy Power

I found this while browsing the classic gaming website. You can now download arcade machines. Once you download the program, it extracts onto a disk, and now when you stick it into your computer and turn it on, your computer runs that game. Couldn't be easier. I don't have a floppy disk on my laptop or desktop so you guys will have to let me know how these games are.

W M D

I used to play the original version of scorched earth for DOS on a 286 running at 16mhz. We would play this all the time in middle school, this was before we tried wolfenstein3D and before we even thought graphics accelerators were needed for computers. Now you can play Scorched Earth on the internet with all your buddies and quality sound effects. Scorched earth 2000.

Do-It-Yourself South Park

Forget Brycons, this is the wave of the future!
