How to waste half an hour on a Friday
Google has created the time waster of all time wasters - the Google Chrome Fastball Challenge - combining videos of a ball travelling over a Heath Robinson-esque obstacle course and a series of challenges to see how quickly you can solve various problems - for example, answering the question "what is the fastest ball?", it is a wonderful way to pass a few minutes on a quiet Friday.
It manages to draw upon every single Google application out there - YouTube, maps, charts, translate - as well as others such as Twitter and Last.fm... Think the Skittles Wiki-ed homepage combined with Trivial Pursuit and you are somewhere in the right direction.
