Flex Petz

Flexpetz Cars, boats, mobs, boys – all of these are items that are available for rent.

This bizarre business we've discovered, though, reckons dog lovers who don’t own their own mutt will part with £280 per month to have the opportunity to stroke and walk a hound that’s just been stroked and walked by someone else.

The furry hussies. Who needs that whole bonding experience between pooch and owner anyway, eh?

Visit Flex Petz - that's the Flexible Pet Ownership website!

Hilary v Obama: the rematch

A couple of months ago we told you about Mincilip.com's Obama vs Hillary StreetFight game and here's another game based on the US Primary battle.

Software developer T-Enterprise, the company which bought us the Mucca Chucka game, has also created a boxing match online game between the Democratic White House rivals Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

Please let us know if Hillary does her "wide-open-mouth-while-pointing-at-someone" look, it would make our day!

See Brains from Thunderbirds dance!

Have you seen the new TV advert for Drench water, which features Brains from Thunderbirds dancing to 90s dance hit Rhythm is a Dancer by SNAP? Apparently Brains perform best when they're hydrated...

Crying While Eating

Cryingwhileeating Ice cream headaches or when we were given a Chinese burn while tucking into a muffin was the last time we cried when we ate.

And here people want to share the sad times they’ve experienced while dining by posting videos.

All types of food cause tears here, from deep fried chicken drumsticks to carrot sticks, and each morsel of grub carries its own particular sadness.

Don’t ever invite this lot to dinner… Crying While Eating

Blink and you'll miss it

How long could you go without blinking? The woman in this Japanese advert sets out to beat the world record, keeping her eyes firmly open while cooking, kissing, sneezing and having her face licked by a dog. Only one thing stands between the lady and non-blinking glory. Watch and find out.

Weird US tourist attractions

Roadsideamerica_2 We have to agree with RoadsideAmerica.com's self-description, that it's a: "caramel-coated-nutbag-full of odd and hilarious travel destinations ready for exploration".

You can find over 8,000 weird tourist attractions on its interactive maps of America at the website, so it's a perfect place to visit if you're planning a roadtrip Stateside.

Our particular favourite attraction is Chatty Belle, the world's largest talking cow.
Chatty Belle in Neillsville invites visitors to press   the button to hear interesting facts such as a cow her size would produce over 270 pounds of milk a day.

Although we're also intrigued by the apparent number of shoe trees you can see across the States!

Discover more offbeat tourist attractions at RoadsideAmerica.com and let us know your favourite attraction!

Watch bloke backflip into trousers!

Watch this guy backflip into a pair of trousers - it's great!

Play Doctor Ku: The Cellar

Thecellar Get your mouse at the ready - it's time to once again click your way out of a mysterious room and escape to victory!

Doctor Ku: The Cellar is a new point-and-click adventure created by Federico Rutemberg and Carlos Monzon. Federico is known among online game fans for his series of adventure games called Esklavos.

It's a rather simple game... well it must be as we completed it in less than ten minutes - a record!

Perhaps our ungainly method of clicking on everything and trying to combine everything until it does something or breaks is finally paying off!

Find your local hero!

Oxforddnb We love this new interactive map from the Oxford DNB, which lets you find people who have contributed to the history of your local area.

The Oxford DNB is a collection of  biographies of the men and women from around the world who shaped all aspects of Britain's past.

You can use the map to find people who have helped shape your local area.

For example, click on Gt Missenden to find a profile on Roald Dahl, the children's author of classic books including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Or pop over to Halifax to discover this was the birthplace of Percy Shaw, the inventor of the catseye road stud. It's fascinating stuff!

Weird sights on Live Maps

Livemaps Have a look at MSN's collection of some of the weirdest shaped buildings and natural phenomena captured by Live Maps, there are some cool sights to be seen!

You can zoom in to see a bird's eye view of some fabulous sights, such as a giant skull in Las Vegas, Nevada, an American house shaped like a guitar, a car stuck in a tree and more.

Explore some unusual sights with Hotlist's interactive map.
