http://www.scrabulous.com/solitaire_scrabble.php Finally, a game for flopsweating, uncompetitive types like myself. I can place my words however I want, without the fear of a competitor taking that one spot I need to make the only word I’ll get all game. In a word, Scrabulous. Ta, Widdershins, for the Stumble.

This year, I chose what I thought would be a unique take on one of my favourite topics: Jay Winik’s chronicle of the last big month of the Civil War. I’m disappointed to give this book (or lecture […]

The Sun | The Best for News, Sport, Showbiz, Celebrities | The Sun| The Sun
http://www.thesun.co.uk/ My experience with the British Sun is limited, but what I have seen makes me long for the almost-equally thoughtless and strident Toronto Sun – our local populist rag catering to the white-trash and sports-results crowd. I happened upon a link for a “Airline Bans Bibles” story, but instead of a factual news report, […]

http://www.hikut.com/laughing/little_creatures.html Normally this kind of page would rate a thumbs-down from me, due to its sheer pointlessness. But the pointlessness of this one is just so bizarre, it made me laugh.

http://cartoonbox.slate.com/hottopic?image=4&topicid=66 My day started with a call to my local Best Buy, looking for a Wii for a friend. Turns out they sold all their just-delivered stock to the 20+ patrons who spent the night lined up outside. For any Stumblers outside the Greater Toronto Area, my ‘hood is not the nicest in Toronto, and […]
The Indexed Trilogy
http://index.echostation.com/trilogy/introindex.htm I’m a Star Wars geek, but even I think this guy needs to get out more. A shot-by-shot index of small background trivia and continuity goofs that comprises the Original Trilogy and its two bastard re-releases. What do you want to bet his other hobby involves sewing slave girl outfits for his blow-up dolls?
Coolpink – Digital Agency – Digital Marketing, Online Advertising, Web Design and Development
http://www.coolpink.net/viking/index.html A cute waste-of-time quiz testing your ability to recognise stationery-based recreations of popular movies. Some of them are hard to guess based on the clues. Be warned that right answers sometimes hinge on adding the “The” or removing an apostrophe where one is needed.
Egg Cuber
