Three things you can do if you're really, really bored:

1. Blink wildly and then close your eyes really tight for an interesting light show.

2. Try to not think about penguins. It's harder than you think.

3. Test out your secret mind power. Pick someone passing by and try to use your mind power to command him do something (like step on the grass). The law of averages says that sooner or later one of your mind commands will come true.

Tip of The Day features ideas I hear about--not always ones I've tried. They sound good to me in theory and who knows--some of them (hopefully most of them) may be brilliant. Anyway, the point of this thread is to start some fun conversations. By all means jump in and add jokes, comments, and even your own tips, if you'd like.

Look up at the ceiling fan in bed and then close your eyes. Another psychedelic light show.

LOL, next time I get insomnia I'll have to try that idea about the ceiling fan. It sounds more entertaining than counting sheep...
