Holiday time-killer: 20Q
Because my office closes down the week after Christmas, I generally have a lot of time on my hands during the Holidays. I just read about a device, called the 20Q, that should help those tryptophan-laden hours melt away.

20Q is a little handheld device that attempts to guess, within 20 questions, any object that you can think of. It is supposedly creepy in its accuracy. It retails for between $10 and $20. See a photo of the 20Q here.

There is also a web-based version of 20Q at 20Q.net. I gave it a try this morning and it was able to guess my object (a booger) in 19 questions. Here is the 20Q output from my question session.
