You’ve had a productive week and now have a couple hours to kill… here are a few fun links to send you off to the weekend!

Summer is drawing to a close, school is about to begin and everyone’s favorite addiction is starting to percolate - fantasy football!  Many a draft is this weekend and if you are still trying to figure out whether you should select Chris Johnson or Adrian Peterson number one, we have some help for you.  Visit the Fantasy Football Toolbox for free updated cheat sheets that will assist you in claiming the ultimate trophy. 

If you’ve ever traveled abroad, there’s a good chance you fell for a foreigner with a sexy accent.  Well now you can impress your significant other with a fancy new dialect without flying to Rome or Sydney!  The Speech Accent Archive allows you to listen to hundreds of accents from all over the globe. 

Speaking of crazy dialects, here’s the latest YouTube sensation, Minnesota Gurls.  A parody of pop starlet, Katie Perry’s “California Gurls,” three Minnesota college students created a music video complete with parkas, flannel and Spam celebrating Midwest culture.  The video has received over 1 million hits and is quite funny, don’t cha know! 

Who doesn’t enjoy a mildly addicting computer game?  In Solipskier, you hit the slopes and follow a course that is designed as you move your cursor up and down.  Hit the gates and your skier scores bonus points.  Can you beat our first effort of 65,000? 

Have a great weekend!
