"Test your musical skills in 6 minutes!"
Supposedly diagnoses tone-deafness. According to this, I got 83.3% right, and have "excellent musical abilities"

Neat test. I got a 66.7%. It seemed like more of a memory test to me than a test of tone-deafness. But what do I know? Maybe if I had perfect pitch, it would be easier to remember those longer tunes.

Some funny stuff

Example:

Five ideas I’ve had for family theme restaurants
November 13th, 2006

1)B.F. Skinner’s Original Stuffers - The poultry skin of your choosing is stuffed with a la carte selections from “th’ fixin’s bar,” deep fried to a golden brown, and served with your choice of fun “Dippin’” sauces.
2)Bobby B. Butterworth’s Old Fashioned Dairy Funshack - A frozen quarterpound stick of salted creamery butter is hand-battered, “flash fried,” and served with your choice of fun “Dippin’” sauces.
3)Long John Silvers’ “Dripper” Hut - Offshoot of the fast-food seafood franchise offers “mini-buckets” of their leftover fried shortening flecks, served with your choice of fun “Dippin’” sauces.
4)Mouth Meat Mel’s - 450º pizza — sure to immediately scald the roof of your mouth — is served with your choice of fun “Dippin’” sauces. (note: first-time members of “The Mel’s Mouth Meat Makers” receive a colorful “I damaged the delicate tissues of my mouth at Mel’s!” adhesive ribbon)
5)Dippin’ Dippin’ Dippin’! - The “Dippin’” sauce of your choice is served with your choice of fun “Dippin’” sauces.


Another:

Five terrible fake scripts from a notional fourth season of Gilligan’s Island
June 15th, 2006

1)Ginger gets badly hooked on coconut-based diet pills
2)Gilligan quietly begins surreptitious relationship with Mary Ann’s cut-offs
3)Mr. Howell acquires Skipper in stock-only buy-out
4)Intact Coast Guard ship lands in lagoon; Professor disassembles parts to construct ersatz wooden “rescue telephone”
5)Cousin Oliver arrives, reviving the tired franchise with his inspired island mayhem


For all you musician types, there are good ones for you as well. Check it out!

Maybe this, which is kind of bright and flashy for work.

Or this which you better turn the sound off at work, but that would spoil it.
