Tights And Capes

I thought I'd start off with a couple of complete time wasters this week. These are just a few goofy sites that I thought were fun.

"Which Super Villian Are You?" and "Which Super Hero Are You?" are a couple of personality tests that give results in comic book characters. You answer a series of questions and it evaluates you with the villian or hero you allegedly most resemble.

My villian turned out to be Dr. Doom -- blessed with smarts and power but burdened by vanity. Hmmm. I didn't realize I was that vain.

My other top choices were Mr. Freeze, The Joker (now that's my kind of villian) and Lex Luthor. The Joker just seems so free and random -- oh, and a bit psychopathic as well.

My superhero was SpiderMan -- you are intelligent, witty, a bit geeky and have great power and responsibility. Yeah. I can totally see that.

My other choices were Superman and The Flash (my favorite). Superman is too perfect -- not a big fan of him. Now, Batman on the other hand...

The other time waster actually can help you out when you are looking for a food choice. Say you and some of your friends want to have lunch together, but no one wants to make a decision.

Enter the "Wheel of Food".

Enter your zip code, spin the wheel, and your lunch decision is made. While there are some dubious choices, it is just for fun. Your stomach is your own responsibility.

I like the disclaimer though. "Ignore the advice of the wheel at your own peril. Avoid making sudden eye contact with the wheel. Do not taunt the wheel. The wheel knows where you live."

Oooooo. Scary.

And one final thought: shovel your driveways out to the road. The car you save may be mine.
