Number 7 - Invent a stupid game

This can literally be anything that stops you getting on with that ever increasing stack of work.

One I played last year was the "wikipedia game", now I'm not claiming to have invented this game (but if no one else does its mine!) but I'm just posting it to give you the general idea.

So the object of the game is to get from one randomly picked wikipedia page to another pre-picked random wikipedia page the quickest using only the links on the page.

So for example you start by saying, "We'll start at Vinegar and we have to get to Boeing 747"
So everyone playing gets to Wiki's page on Vinegar and starts at the same time trying to get to Boeing 747 using only the links on the page.

This game only works if you pick completely random and unrelated words.

Give this game a try (if your truely THAT bored) or make your own. Or you coul always do some work of course.
