This Week's Roundup of Time Wasters

Another Friday -- another stack of things for you to do to ensure you won't have time for any real work.

• Gaming is meaningless to me now... [Pay attention: This is a parody about prostitution. "It's hilarious," according to my editor. "I wouldn't let my 7-year-old watch it -- but my game-obsessed 15-year-old nephew will get a kick out of it..."] Watch the video.




• Want to be a pilot? Design a paper plane and see how well you can, well, nose dive it into the ground.
  

  
  The arrow points to my disastrous attempt.




• You know how I often talk about a new product and say, "I want one"? In the case of the Uno, I don't want one. (More here.)

  




• Have a couple of hours? Here's a video compendium of 50 of the best parodies of TV commercials. Many are from "Saturday Night Live" with a smattering of "Mad TV" and "In Living Color" -- and some are quite good. [Thanks, Paul and Sandra.]




• On your mark... ready, set, GO! It's an annual Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling Race.




• The New York to London Telectroscope: It's faster than text messaging -- and a heck of a lot more fun.
