I may as well confess:  I have a new Internet obsession.  Behold, my new time-waster:

Ever heard of it?  I hadn’t until this morning and now I’ve gone and wasted a whole day on it.  Excellent!

It’s basically a place where people list things that they are willing to do for $5 and if something tickles your fancy, you simply order it and pay via Paypal, then start communicating with the seller.  It’s fascinating! I mean there’s so very little I would do for $5.  In fact, I’m not entirely sure I would walk down my front steps to pick up an Honest Abe if was lying there waiting for me.  But I, apparently, am not like everyone else.  Check this out:

• I will try to explain anything science related for $5 (I like the word “try.”)
• I will tell you all about the OTHER state in which prostitution is legal for $5
• I will call in sick to your job or school with any excuse that will work. I use only the best excuses found on the web for $5 (Remember when you had to get a note from your mom? Ancient history! And “only the best”?  Love that!)
• I will write anything of your choice on my face with a Sharpie for $5
• I will show you how to make invisible cosmic rays visible at home for $5 (uhh… okay.  I guess.)
• I will say anything for you in a nearly PERFECT Gollum voice for $5
• I will convert your baby into animal costume for $5  (I’m not sure what this means, actually … but for 5 bucks?  Why not?)
• I will explain Marine Corps grunt culture for $5
• I will play as you against someone in chess pretending to be you for $5 (Ummm … what?)
• I will make you a duct tape purse/bag for $5 (I’m really considering this one…)

My God in heaven, I love the Internet.

Seriously. It's kind of cute considering it came from a hardware store.

Finally, I can see those invisible cosmic rays.

Convert your baby to an animal costume!
