Post Like a Pirate is a web-service that allows you to post messages using pirate speek (duh!).The Pirate Translator translates your messages into pirate-speek as you type. You can also email your friends and post messages to twitter directly in pirate text using this service. The website itself is far from being hip and cool. It doesnt funtion properly in Firefox, Opera and Safari which is disappointing. However, Post Like a Pirate does what it is supposed to fairly well. Obviously this kind of service has no utility and is just meant for some fun between friends.

From Wikipedia :

(Le) Parkour (English: the art of movement) is a physical art of French origin, the aim of which is to move from point A to point B as efficiently and quickly as possible, using principally the abilities of the human body. It is meant to help one overcome obstacles, which can be anything in the surrounding environment — from branches and rocks to rails and concrete walls — so parkour can be practiced in both rural and urban areas.

First off a Latvian group Dvinsk Clan showing off their skills.

Next in line is the talented parkour artist, stuntsman and martial artist Cyril Raffaelli.

And finally the founder of the art - David Belle himself.

It’s a long time since I posted anything in the Boredom Killer’s category.So here is something you can try when you are really really bored - Composing songs with your Landline telephone set.

If your phone supports Tone dialing then you can create various sounds by pressing the keys. With some effort you can create recognisable tunes with them too.

Here are some examples :-

This site has got it all.From people claiming to have Princess Diana’s Kidney to information about panties that tell you about ur “some one specials” location,heart rate and temperature.

This site is pretty exhaustive with listing of top 100 April Fools day pranks to ideas for college pranks.

The author says that he created this site because he is “endlessly fascinated by the bizarre things that people have been talked into believing over the years. Women who give birth to rabbits, Swiss spaghetti trees, lunar bison?they’ve all found believers. In fact, it’s probably a truism that there’s no claim so stupid or weird that someone somewhere won’t believe it. “

I only wish that i had found this site before the April Fools day!May be next time
