Browsing the web for the latest and greatest tidbits of information can sometimes turn into a large mess. When you first start your Internet journey, you may think that it will only take a few seconds to find your info and go. However, that’s not always the case.

Have you ever wanted to send a private note that would self-destruct? Knowing that you could send your most intimate thoughts to that special someone without risking prying eyes is an absolute bonus. It would be great if your private note could only be read once. Others won’t have access to your private thoughts unless you want them to. On the Internet, you can find almost any application or web based service to suit your needs. Previously I had written about a service called BigString, a free service to send self-destructing and recallable emails.

Last week I mentioned a retro space shooting game called LaserAge, which I hope you liked. Will it make your day if I tell you there is an online dude in a chicken suit that will obey your typed commands online? This became famous in 2004 and after four years, it still is one of my favorite classic fun website. The URL is subservientchicken.com.
When a friend told me the URL I said “what? subsidized chicken?” See, English is not out first language and “subservient” isn’t in my vocabulary yet at that time. A little query to Meriam-Webster.com got me to the listed definitions: “useful in an inferior capacity, serving to promote some end,obsequiously submissive”.
