Guess the blanks of ten random fragments from the depths of information that is Wikipedia.
Tech Buzz Spell out words to stop the bugs from destroying your machine. “Fun with spelling” is the best kind of fun and you know it. Get to work.

A study of online behavior conducted by security firm Arbor Networks reveals that the prime time on the Internet may be later than you'd think. It also reveals the habits of late-night surfers, which boils down to surfing the web and watching videos (a large amount of which are adult content), chatting with friends, and playing video games online.
People are playing a life-size version of Candyland down Lombard Street in San Francisco RIGHT NOW! Lombard Street is the famous twisty road that everyone sees when they visit San Francisco. If you've been there, you probably have a picture of it. Go check.
Culture Buzz It's hard when your sibling is always outshining you in the eyes of the public.

The titles of 50 recent films are hidden in this painting Empire Magazine is calling “Cryptic Canvas.” All the movies are from the past 20 years, if that helps. I can already tell this is going to torment me all weekend.
Tech Buzz Since I know Buzzfeed readers are into the ultimate time-wasting games, I thought I'd add this gem to the pool — which wasted a significant amount of my evening.

Twetris combines two of your favorite things to do at word: read Twitter and play Tetris. I'm not sure what's more fun, actually trying to win at this game or just reading the random tweets that fall from the sky.
Movie Buzz This will change the way you watch movies forever. Uncomfortable Plot Summaries is a game that plays the devil's advocate with your favorite films — summarizing them in a simple, yet Debbie Downer way. Jurassic Park? Merely a “theme park’s grand opening pushed back.” Other amazing examples? Ratatouille was just about “vermin infest[ing] restaurant until it is forced to close doors.” And Superbad? “Boys plan date-rape, sleep together.” Make up your own!
Sports Buzz New York's finest vagabonds convened in Tompkins Square Park yesterday for a battle of strength and desperation heretofore unseen in the East Village. Unfortunately, they had to cancel the Fax Machine Toss at the last minute, so it ended up being a bunch of old people wandering around blindfolded while schoolchildren watched. Poetic, at least.

Completely frustrating, but oddly addicting. The goat is to cheer up the chatbot — who is totally depressed. Can you do it?
Dudes, welcome to Making Out 2.0. A mechanical claw and a pile of breasts. Get to work - you can thank me later.
Tech Buzz In OfficeWars, you've got 32 days to prove yourself in the high stakes underground world of office supplies. It's kinda like Dope Wars, but the experience gained here might be something to stick on your resume. Good luck!
Science Buzz A little puzzle toy made out of 216 powerful tiny magnets that can be rearranged into an infinite number of shapes. These magnets look pretty powerful, so be careful!
Tech Buzz Once you're bored playing Open Doors (i.e., five seconds from now), try on this lil' stacking puzzler for size.
One for the Twitter junkies: Whose Tweet? is a fast-paced game where you are shown 20 random tweets, one at a time, and you have to click on the user that tweeted those messages. Because if there's anything more time consuming than actual Twittering, it's a game based around it! Sarcasm, y'all!
Tech Buzz Another kind of physics-based puzzle game. You can power through the early levels with sheer motion, but things get tricky the further you get along.

Relive the third grade! And…my workday is over.
Movie Buzz Hollywood got really jacked up on Starbursts and decided this would be a good idea. I AGREE! As long as they don't cast Nicole Kidman as Queen Frostine, this film will be guaranteed celluloid magic for stoners and twee twentysomethings everywhere. And kids too, I guess.
