Stumble Upon Time Waster

I found this through a series of link searching and reading as I do every single day of my Monday through Friday life. There are days I just can’t think of a creative thing to write about or even research so I use time wasters to clear my head. Similar to people using coffee to clear the senses when smelling perfumes.

Here’s the deal.


Firefox has an application called Stumble Upon that allows users to randomly surf the web in different topics based on your preferences. On each website the user can then rate the website based on a thumbs up/thumbs down vote rating. Queen of Darkness blog is where I got the idea to do the same. She has reviewed more than 1,300 web sites and has commented on all or most of them. It sounds like a fun time waster so I figured I would follow her lead and do the same or at least the similar. What has she learned so far?

Things I Hate on the Internet

Paris Hilton: Protect Alcoholic Elephants

Paris Hilton is helping the world be a better place by scolding locals in north-east India to lock up their booz!

Protect alcoholic elephants they don't know any better cries Paris. Her campaign to make the world a better place will be to promote the awareness of alholic elephants. Wow… I feel so much better, so enlightened.


The hotel heiress was horrified to discover 40 of the animals were electrocuted after drinking rice-beer, which is brewed by locals in north-east India. She says, "There would have been more casualties if the villagers hadn't chased them away. And four elephants died in a similar way three years ago. It is just so sad. The biggest problems are in Assam and Meghalaya. The elephants get drunk all the time. It is becoming really dangerous. We need to stop making alcohol available to them."

Maybe that is the perfect job for her – to be a AA sponsor to alcoholic elephants.

She doesn’t say anything regarding making alcohol unavailable to her or young girls of India so I guess that means it’s like totally okay and it’s made from like rice so it’s like diet alcohol - that's Hot!
