Some would say that the personal computer and the Internet have
revolutionized how much we can accomplish in a day. That may be true,
but they have also revolutionized how much time can be wasted in a day.
But then again, I would contend that if you are having fun, you are not
wasting time. Enjoy my picks for the ten best time wasting sites on the
Internet. And don't blame me if you don't get anything done for the
next few weeks!
This
is an absolutely incredible interactive toy. I won't spoil your fun by

for hours and hours.

Pr0n is essentially a puzzle game -- a very hard puzzle game. But it is
also very addictive and a lot of fun. Each new page has a puzzle to be

The site is very enjoyable and you can waste an enormous amount of time
there.

If
you have not experienced the incredible graphics and engaging point and

you count Samorost 2. After you have mastered the original, Samorest 2
awaits your head scratching attention. You will laugh out load at some
the bizarre contraptions and pure creativity in this sequel.
