     I love riddles, games, brain teasers, and optical illusions. BrainBashers.com has all of these on their webpage. With over 100 awards won, BrainBashers is the go-to place to get your riddle and brainteaser fix. Each topic has a separate category, making the kind of brain basher you're looking for much easier to find. With categories for Puzzles, Games, Illusions, Sudoku, and Fun Stuff, you're sure to find your brain craving for the day and dig in. 

     You may also like the many monthly contests they have, such as Droodles, How Low, and Eureka Cartoon. You will find many crosswords, cryptograms, arcade games, strategy games, mind games, mazes, jigsaws, and the list goes on...and on...and on (and that doesn't even put a DENT in the amount of games and fun stuff you'll find on here!).

     There are literally hundreds of games and puzzles on this site. Trust me, it's addicting!

     Launched in August, 2007, PhotoFunia.com is a website that lets you add cool effects and create photo montages. Choose from over 100 different photo effects with different themes and images, and incorporate your uploaded photo into your selected choice. 
     
     PhotoFunia's proprietary technology automatically identifies the face in the photo and allows you to create these awesome one-of-a-kind photographs. 

     Some examples of the kinds of photos you can create are your face on a billboard, on television, in a mirror, in an animated page-turning book, being drawn by an artist, dancing, as Santa Claus, as a hockey player, on a coffee mug, as a dress pattern, in the reflection of a human eye, and so many more.

     When you're done with your photos you can save them to your computer, share them on your website or blog, or send as a postcard. I had a lot of fun playing around with this.

     Want to meet awesome strangers? Then you've come to the right place! BlurryPeople.com lets you do just that by enabling you to use your webcam to meet other people using theirs. The catch is that at first, the other person will look completely blurry to you (and vice versa).

     After you talk to the person for a few minutes, the video feed begins to slowly come into focus. If you're done talking once the image comes into view, you can choose to "say ciao and rate the stranger" as the site says, or of course you can choose to continue your conversation if you like what you see (and read).

     The site really doesn't give out much info besides that, and there isn't an "About" section either. In order to sign up the site requires you to have - and turn on - your webcam. BlurryPeople also points out that if you're looking for the same kind of website without the requirements of a webcam, you can try the website tjetter.com (which I have yet to check out myself).

     BlurryPeople also allows you to rate each other on personality and appearance at the end of the conversation. The site also states that "if people think you're awesome, that'll allow you to filter out non-awesome people."
