Wasting Your Time » Fun Stuff http://www.wasting-your-time.com Just a bunch of time wasting stuff Wed, 03 Oct 2007 17:12:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 en hourly 1 It’s Cleaning Time http://www.wasting-your-time.com/2007/05/27/its-cleaning-time/ http://www.wasting-your-time.com/2007/05/27/its-cleaning-time/#comments Sun, 27 May 2007 18:33:58 +0000 blah http://wasting-your-time.com/blog/2007/05/27/its-cleaning-time/ This was usually featured in my sidebar. Many times it takes quite a while for it to load (which was slowing down the site). As a result I decided to take it down. However, since it’s my favorite collection of songs which plays when I do some cleaning (not too often, don’t worry), I had to keep it. I don’t have (all of) these songs in one single compilation except this one. Anyway, this is the music I listen to when I clean. Check it out, it might work for you too and make the cleaning a bit less dreadful.

The average person can’t do it.

1. This is this cat
2. This is is cat
3. This is how cat
4. This is to cat
5. This is keep cat
6. This is an cat
7. This is idiot cat
8. This is busy cat
9. This is for cat
10. This is forty cat
11. This is seconds cat

Now go back and read the THIRD WORD in each LINE from the top down.

Gotcha! :)

It ended just like that “Oh, Those Russians”. Take a look at these Russian kids. No wonder they’re some of the best in the world when it comes to gymnastics. (Note: give the video some time to load. Put it on pause, let it load and then watch it.)
