Spin the color wheel

Colours on the web - color theory and color matching: "Are you about to give up? Just can't find the right colours for your page?
Well, here is the solution for you!
Just Spin the colour wheel and get a selection of three random colours.
The colour wheel randomizes among some 16 million colours. And since each spin produces three different colours, that gives endless combinations. (or 2 to the power of 70 or so, which is a very large number). Enough to keep anyone busy for a while. "

Curveball

Another fun game

Lost in Translation

Lost in Translation: "What happens when an English phrase is translated (by computer) back and forth between 5 different languages? The authors of the Systran translation software probably never intended this application of their program. As of September 2003, translation software is almost good enough to turn grammatically correct, slang-free text from one language into grammatically incorrect, barely readable approximations in another. But the software is not equipped for 10 consecutive translations of the same piece of text. The resulting half-English, half-foreign, and totally non sequitur response bears almost no resemblance to the original. Remember the old game of 'Telephone'? Something is lost, and sometimes something is gained. Try it for yourself!"

How long can you keep the soccer ball in the air?

This is addictive...
