A bike lane in Portland, Oregon suddenly has symbols from Super Mario Kart painted on it. Notice how every biker in the video rides around the banana peel.

Navigate your way through the first level of Super Mario Brothers with Zelda, Mega Man, Samus or others right in your browser. This could be dangerous way to waste time.

I think enough time has passed since the Miracle on the Hudson (exactly one year in fact) that we can have a good chuckle about planes hitting geese, as long as you’re not a hippie. And with that comes this game where you’re the geese, trying to meet up with your fellow geese, all while avoiding various types of aircraft.

Amazingly simple, addictively fun. And seemingly impossible to beat.

Pretend to be France’s soccer star Thierry Henry while you swat the ball into your opponents goal with your hand. The game won’t win any VGA’s, but it’s still hilarious.

My first try was 47-1, beat that.

This addictive game forces you to pick the photograph of the individual that you believe was most likely to have committed the crime in question. It’s not as easy as it looks. Hint: Racial profiling actually leads to success in this instance.
