Trivia Cocaine on the Internet and Other Fun Ways to Stay Up Until 4 a.m.

Sporcle.com.

Who needs drugs when something is so addicting on the Internet?

Hello, our name is the staff at News-Herald DotComedy. And we have a problem. A serious addiction to a Web site. Sporcle.com is like our own Horse With No Name. Only we are usually up until the wee hours of the morning trying to figure out that name.

Sporcle.com is the most addictive trivia site in the vast wasteland of the Internet, bar none. If you haven't been there ... don't do it. It's bad, man. Very bad. Because once you get in, you will never get out. It's like Don Corleone is working the cursor.

There is trivia for all walks of life - geography, sports, music, entertainment, movies, general, etc. And it isn't your typical Question/Answer trivia. There are 15-100 answers and you have a certain amount of time to fill in the blanks. Can you do it?

Look, there are easy ones like the seven continents or 3-letter body parts(not as easy as you think). Then there are ones like complete the lyrics to a Beatles song from Word 1 to the end or every country that starts with the letter C.

In short, bring your shrink and a good bottle of scotch because it is that mindbending and frustrating.

Folks, Sporcle.com has taken over the lives of the staff at DotComedy in many ways. Don't let it happen to you. If you go, if you are intrigued - beware.

You have been warned.

It makes cocaine seem like Gummy Bears.

Got a problem with that? Take it up with Don Corleone.
