I thought I'd collect together any useful pet related web sites, mainly ones to do with pets we own (at the moment: hamsters, degus and quail). I'll add more sites to the list as and when when I find any.
- Hamster Heaven. This site has a very active forum, where a lot of experienced hamster owners discuss hamster ownership.
- Degu Rock - website about Degus, also has a forum.
- Coturnix Corner. A forum for Quail owners.
- Emma's Hamster Wiki.

According to NewsBiscuit, Tony Blair decided that Parliament should move to Aberystwyth.
Quoth the article:
Tony Blair's final act as Prime Minister was billed as a huge boost for the regions today, when he announced that the government of the United Kingdom, would henceforth be re-located in the Welsh coastal town of Aberystwyth.
I spent a few minutes at lunchtime trying to fool the Oracle of Bacon - an on-line version of the famous game where actors are linked to Kevin Bacon in as few moves as possible.
I was trying to find names with a large 'Bacon number' by choosing people such as obscure Russian actors from the 1920s but the highest I managed was 5 links.
To commemmorate Anzac Day, one of our Australian colleagues in work always brings in a tub of home made Anzac Biscuits.
The biscuits are based on the long-lasting ones sent to the soldiers in the First World War.
My eyes have been feeling quite tired recently so I was thinking about getting some caffeinated eye drops to wake them up.
A photographer has followed the course of the River Sherbourne through the culvert under the city. A description of the journey and photographs are on his website.
Today be Talk like a Pirate day. To avoid looking like the scurvy-filled landlubber you obviously are, ye must watch this video.
I found this website a while ago when I was trying to find out who recorded the original version of Tainted Love (it was Gloria Jones by the way).
The website allows you to search for singers or bands and it lists songs of theirs which have been covered by other artists, and also songs which they have covered themselves.
A silly little game: try to balance the mouse pointer and stop it from falling over:
This test did the rounds at Uni but it looks like it's been updated since, so I thought I'd try it again to see if my score had changed. Not much. It was around 27%. This time I got 26.0% so it has actually dropped slightly. That might be because I'm not running Linux on my old laptop any more.
Find the test at: www.innergeek.us/geek-test.html.
According to a survey, Americans are much less healthy than the British. Even the British at the poor end of the scale are healthier than wealthier-than-average Americans. Woo-hoo. Pass me another jumbo bucket of chicken bits, fries and a gallon of (non-diet) coke.
I found this site a few days ago - it's a weather station run by a school in Coventry. As well as showing the current conditions it also has some statistics and historical weather info:
Bablake Weather Station
Looking at the statistics page I was surprised to see that there were 23 days last year when it snowed - I didn't think it had snowed that often, but it might count some hail (or snail) in with that.
This is one of those games where people choose a list of celebrities, and score points depending on which ones die. Each competitor enters a team of 15 celebrities and then waits for the Grim Reaper to start knocking on doors. Last years game has finished and the scores will be finalised as soon as all the obituaries are in for 2005.
Entries are still being accepted for this years competition, which began on January 1st. To enter, visit the Website.
Thankfully, nothing to do with that annoying frog ringtone, Racing Frogs lets you train amphibians and enter them into races. It gives me something to do at lunchtime.
A few tips:
You'll need to train your frog 3 times each day to increase fitness.
Buy the book - it allows access to the VIP lounge where you can catch dragonflies to improve your frogs performance.
