1. The age old Pingu — absolute gold — via GZ
   A penguin falls off the top a hill/mountain, you are the Yeti standing with a club to hit the penguin and see how far you can swing it. the laws of Physics say if you throw an object at a 45 degree angle it goes the farthest. Hmmmm not sure it applies here… My highest score was 509! Dare I say its addictive.
2. Reaction Test — via HP
   The automobile driving manual says the average driver’s reaction time is: 0.75 seconds… or one car length for every 10 miles per hour. Test your average reaction time. Be very careful this can be addictive. Click on the link below and good luck. And do turn up the volume a notch. Bbaaa baaaa baaaaa
   I am a lowly Armadillo. What about you?
3. Parachuting — via HP
   A relatively new one but not yet as addictive as the previous two. But you never know.

In case this doesn’t help you waste much time head on over to Kottke’s list of Online addictive games. Be warned though. Do you know any thats as bad as these or worse still?

We had a short but lovely break at the enchanting picturesque Kangaroo Valley last weekend. Kangaroo Valley is situated between the regions of Shoalhaven and the Southern Highlands. Last weekend despite a rainy Friday out of Sydney and the late start on the motorway — the drive was really smooth all the way through and actually look less time than expected. Since we left late afternoon we couldn’t see much beyond the lights of our own car racing down the pitch black of the night but the meandering roads around the Morton National Park past the Fitzroy Falls and then on to the historic sandstone Hampden Bridge and then Kangaroo Valley is really breath taking. We took a little turn off the main street into the golf course which was going to be home for the next 2 nights. In the morning while we were making our big cooked breakfast we had a pack of kangaroos big and small… a whole little family of 5 that hopped along and came by almost to our breakfast deck and stopped to check out their new neighbours! It was a sight to behold how they came by to check on us as we made breakfast… not to mention a huge wombat came and stopped in the middle of the road as we were coming into the valley the previous night… The Wombat knew we were going to stop so it didn’t really hurry across rather stopped and inspected us and then shuffled away slowly into the bush across the road, ah life is so difficult! It made our day… and then to see wild kangaroos up so close - it was commune with nature in more ways than one. There is a very good reason they call this place The Kangaroo Valley.
