My friends complain that I don't have a sense of humour. But that is before I discovered Virtual Whassup. Chockfull with cheeky cards, based on celebrities like Britney Spears, Ricky Martin, Hillary Clinton and George Bush, these are perfect to catch up with old friends.
For the ones you can't think of anything to say, just forward Ring My Bell, an odd flash movie which tells you what happens when you stick a couple of videogame characters, some props, and Richard Simmons in a blender, while Anita Ward's hit song Ring My bell plays in the background! The chances are, they might not write back.
In between sending those whassups, I suggest you try the Gender Test. A bit of psychoanalysis on the Net, that uses lots of questions to figure out whether you are a girl or boy! Might be interesting you know to have it finally figured out. Questions range from `What came first the Egg or the chicken' to `what shape do you prefer?' Choose wisely because your answers could be an uncannily accurate indicator of your gender.
A good site to bookmark for the jargon challenged is the Dictionary Of Financial Terms. From acquisitions to zero sum, it's all explained here through a searchable database of terms that are also alphabetically categorised.
If you are more the computer type, then try this. As the site claims, it is "a comprehensive compendium of hacker slang illuminating many aspects of hackish tradition, folklore, and humor."
For figures of the other kind, try Mariah Carey's official site. The pop diva has her videos, audio, song lyrics and her images with a whole lot of links on this site.
And if you are still without a date this weekend, despite all the virtual whassups, then let the Net do some more work for you. Like maybe Passthison.com. This matchfinder uses an interactive online love-finding experience to discover what your dream man or woman looks like in your geographic region within 10 seconds. So, why are you still sitting there staring at this screen?
