amused

meebo has kept me amused all day. inside the chat window it has a line of text that will insert random facts into your chat. this is educational for me and super annoying for anyone i’m chatting with. mainly ab405.

i need an application or website that just runs a ticker tape sort of business with completely random facts. i’d be amused for days.
