New Telephone Game
Everybody knows the telephone game; you know, a group of people sit in a circle, one person whispers a phrase into someone's ear, the next person whispers into the ear of the next person and so on. When it comes back to the originator you compare what was said first to the final version, which has been distorted through mishearing along the way. Then they all laugh and laugh because somehow "I like bananas" has turned into "Stalin wasn't such a bad guy nacho hat".
Anyways, long story short, I had my laptop passed around to a roomful of people at work today. I was giving a presentation, sans projector, and had to show everybody what I'd been working on the old fashioned way. Like back in the time before projectors, yet somehow after laptops.
This got me to thinking, why not make a laptop telephone game? It goes like this:
1. First person browses to a popular/semi-popular website and passes the laptop to the next person
2. Next person clicks a link (internal or external) on the website
3. Continue passing and clicking until the laptop is returned to the owner
4. Owner attempts to guess the original website or, more likely, attempts to clear out all the porn links
In any event, it sounds like a pretty fun way to burn some time at work before a meeting, during a meeting, or even in some strange world where meetings don't exist.
