The Tibet Game: Doom for Buddhists. Give away your possessions, pump up your karma, see and hear beautiful Tibet. (Don't forget your high bandwidth, grasshopper.)

I spent two hours playing this game -- I got my karmameter all the way to 100%, but I could never seem to give away that last cow pie.

Did anyone else click the flagpole at Potala Palace and find themselves in Tienanmen Square?

Excellent link

Huh. I get a window full of red, and then nothing. It certainly *sounds* interesting...

This site does that obnoxious trick the Onion does, where it shoves its window to the foreground after the page loads, getting in the way of whatever you were actually doing.
