Bored? Want Something Fun to Look At or Do Again?

“Bored?” returns with another installment of ten great links to entertain you and your unamused psyche.

Hey there again, readers! I previously published an article entitled “Bored? Want Something fun to Look at or do?” and it was a great success. You can find it here: http://www.webupon.com/Web-Talk/Bored-Want-Something-Fun-to-Look-at-or-Do.806733. I figured that since so many people go to the internet to release their boredom, people would enjoy another installment with ten more great links. I credit StumbleUpon as the engine I use to find these links. I don’t know what I would do without it. And you wouldn’t believehow many people google “bored”. Chances are, you could be one of those people. So let’s get started!

For the musically entertained:

This interesting “drum” can play randomly or you can even decide its rhythms. You can seriously get lost in this thing.

Look at these pictures- they are absolutely insane. Do you think you could live in this household?

For the photographer:

This website is great- check out these “Altered Books” which are turned into poems and submitted by poets and artists. You really have to see to believe. Post your own, too!
