Oprah's crazy audience
I've always been pretty supportive of Oprah. She tries her best to do good things for people, and that's admirable. The only thing that's a little creepy about it is the maniacal devotion she gets from her audience. Exhibit A: This clip of a hysterical studio audience after Oprah announces that she's not giving away some free stuff. It was the mere mention of free stuff that set them off.


10 items you think make you cool but don't
When you think of it objectively, we pretty much work to buy things that make us appear to be cool. Sure, there's stuff like rent and food, but even the homes we keep and the foods we consume need to have a cool factor. Here's a funny online column about the items that you think make you look cool, but actually don't. Personally, I'm glad to have read this, since I'm doing two things that I thought made me cool but don't.


George W. Bush is an actor!
We've all had our suspicions that George W. Bush is a puppet for the current administration. It's not even that much of a stretch, especially when you consider that Ronald Reagan actually was an actor and it didn't seem to bother anyone. It's still, however, slightly unnerving to see Bush preparing to address the station much like Howie Mandel prepares to present Deal or No Deal? Just watch it and you'll see what I mean.


Spot the fake smile
The ability to read a person is one of the most useful things you can know how to do, even if you don't play poker. Often, people will act contrarily to how they actually feel, for the purpose of deceiving you. If you can figure them out, then you're a step ahead of the game. Take this quiz to see if you can tell a real smile from a fake smile. I got 14 out of 20.


Magic Spells and Photographic Memory Game
I couldn't decide between these two links, so I decided to include them both. With Magic Spells, you'll be able to cast magic spells for any purpose. I haven't tried any of them myself, but I imagine that it's possible that a few could have the desired effect. The Photographic Memory Game is a fun little challenge that tests your memory and your sharpness of mind. If you have niether, you might want to skip that one.
