Here are the top five entertaining things from the internet that I’ve featured on this fundraising blog. They’re family friendly, contain no bad language or rude bits (and that took some finding). All links take you to safe sites, as indicated by McAfee’s Site Advisor; four are YouTube pages and one is on this blogsite.

You can send a link to this page in an email to friends and family instead of an e-card or small gift. If you do so, please make a minimum donation of £2 via our JustGiving campaign pages to ME Research UK and/or the ME Association’s Ramsay Research Fund. They fund top-quality biomedical research into the neuro-immune disease ME (also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome).

Enjoy!

Astonishing flipbook
Nine seconds of your brain not believing what your eyes are telling it with this flipbook.

Store Wars
A long time ago in a supermarket far, far away, Obi-Wan Cannoli (a large pastry, I believe) instructs Cuke Skywalker (a talking cucumber) to save Princess Lettuce (self-explanatory); he will need the help of Ham Solo…

Amazing Wriggling Baby
Jaw-dropping time-lapse film showing how much a baby wriggles about while playing on the floor with its toys. Watch that baby go! And go! And go!

United Breaks Guitars
The most entertaining and certainly most successful customer complaint of all time by a musician who saw his guitar being chucked about on the tarmac by baggage handlers. Over five million hits on YouTube and reportedly $180 million wiped off United Airline’s share value.

Unusual logic test
Not all is quite as it seems in this test of your reasoning ability.
