This is one of the COOL places to go to when you're bored and have nothing better to do except surf the net. I am going to try to find many cool pictures like these optical illusions to put on this page. I might also go ahead and call this the fun page and put all of the riddles, jokes, pictures, and quotes together on this page. Let's start with the riddles from The Hobbit why don't we! ^_^

Wingless flutters,

As cold as death;
Never thirsty, ever drinking,

Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town
And beats high mountain down.
