If your in search of the perfect colour scheme, perhaps Colourcode is the right tool for you.

8. How Many People Are In Space Right Now?
Find out how many people are currently living in space.

11. The 90s Button
Need to quickly relive the 90s? Check out The 90′s Button, offering instant music from the 90s at the click of a button.

12. CandyBox 
Have you played CandyBox? It’s a pathetically addictive ASCII web game. You’ve been warned!

Why bother trying to win a game of solitaire on your computer when you can simply visit this webpage and get an instant win!

14. Our World From the ISS
How about an interactive map that shows all the spots on Earth that have been photographed from the International Space Station? You got it!

15. Monocle Ipsum
Ever feel that your dummy text lacks style and panache? Why not make it more like an issue of Monocle with this fantastically tongue-in-cheek Lorem Ipsum generator.

16. I Wanted To See All Of The News From Today
I can’t even begin to understand how this project by Martin John Callanan works. Click on the webpage and you’ll instantly get hundred’s of front page news stories from today’s papers. It’s an incredible site and a wonderful portrait of our global world.

17. Every Last Drop
This is a nicely illustrated website that talks about the importance of saving water in a fun and interactive way.

18. 500 Letters
Artists. Why spend hours worrying about how to best justify your work through the limiting medium of words? Take all the hassle out of writing your bio with this handy tool.

19. Windows of New York

Need to eat nearby but don’t know where? This foul-mouthed website will quickly find you a good place to eat at the click of a button. Prefer to just go for drinks? Don’t worry, they have this site too.

21. Daily Routines

22. Exquisite Corpse
Ever played that old surrealist’s game Exquisite Corpse? This online version has spawned into an epic piece of art. Go check it out!

23. Random Street View

24. Mapnificent
Fugitives, escapists and commuters unite! This website is for you. It shows a map of the world and lets you know exactly what areas you can reach with public transport in any given time.

25. Falling Falling
This is a great looking site and a wonderful example of the “Shepard Tone”, an auditory illusion that appears to keep descending in pitch.

26. Quotes and Accents
I couldn’t write a list like this and not include one of Jessica Hische’s websites. This is a guide which I really need to pay more attention to. It offers a handy guide on how to type quotes and accents on your Mac.

27. Terms of Service; Didn’t Read
I like to imagine that we’re all guilty of agreeing to a website’s Terms of Service without ever actually reading them. Fortunately there’s a website that aims to make them easier to understand!

28. What The Fuck Should I Make For Dinner?
Another food-loving foul-mouthed website. This time, the site offers advice on what to cook for dinner. You can even tell it what you don’t like or if you don’t eat meat. Very handy!

30. The Useless Web
Still looking for more websites to see? There’s even a website for that! The Useless Web will find you a useless website with one easy click.

BEER LOGIC

Animated_beer_pouring_into_glass_hg.gif~c200Woman: And how long have you been drinking?

Man: 20 years, I suppose

Woman: So a beer costs $5 and you have 3 beers a day, which puts your spending each month at $450. In one year, it would be $5400 correct?

Man: Correct

Woman: If in 1 year you spend $5400, not accounting for inflation, the past 20 years puts your spending at $108,000, correct?

Man: Correct

Woman: Do you know that if you didn’t drink so much beer, that money could have been put in a step-up interest savings account and after accounting for compound interest for the past 20 years, you could have now bought a Ferrari?

Man: Do you drink beer?

Woman: No

Man: Where’s your Ferrari?
