    10. Testing Your Reaction Time – 3.5 Million Views

    reaction-time

    Don’t worry animal lovers – no sheep are harmed in this test!  All you have to do is shoot some tranquilizing darts into five sheep that run across the field.  The time it takes you to click the button is measured from the moment they start to leap, and your given your score in seconds to react per sheep.  I was rated a bobbing bobcat, how about you?

    9. Sidewalk Chalk Guy – 3.8 Million Views

    sidewalk-chalk

    If you like optical illusions, you’re going to love sidewalk chalk guy.  His artwork is the kind that makes you feel like there is a hole in the earth, or in this case, in the sidewalk.  These photos illustrate not only the illusion, but ways people can play in the illusion, like a guy dipping his toe into a “swimming pool.”

    8. Travel Agent Stories – 4 Million Views

    Want to know the pain that travel agents go through in their careers?  Then have a read of these twelve stories shared by the poor people that make their living helping people book their vacations.  Yes, there are people who don’t realize that when someone mentions you need a visa to travel internationally, they are not talking about the logo on your credit cards.

    human-world

    Looking for random facts about the human condition?  Look no further than this very random page of miscellaneous facts that cover everything from biblical times to phobias.  Did you know pogonophobia  is the fear of beards?  Don’t you feel better now that you do know?

    4. Courtroom Quotations – 4.7 Million Views

    coutroom

    People funny things, especially in the courtroom.  These quotations, presumably taken from official court records across the nation, generally involve dialogue between lawyers and witnesses.  Could you imagine sitting on a jury and trying to hold a straight face when someone says “I don’t drink when I’m on duty, unless I come on duty drunk?”

    3. Street Installations – 4.9 Million Views

    outside

    Street Installations is a collection of photographs taken on the street, some of which have been edited for special effects.   While the first photo seems simple with a person wearing a cone on their head, other photos include a floating head, feet coming out of drain pipes, and other oddities.  Definitely a way to stretch the inspiration.

    2. CN Tower Timelapse – 5.7 Million Views

    cn-tower-timelapse

    Timelapses are always a favorite, and what could be better than a timelapse?  A timelapse that is user controlled.  This simple flash animation starts with a daytime view of the CN Tower, and as you hover over it, you can see a total of six different times during the day through nighttime.

      The Sidewalk Chalk Guy is really great in what he is doing! Love his work!

      Excellent!

      I had one of my blog post get up to 300k views over the last 2 years but that’s insane that there are literally millions on this list – that’s something to strive for – I’m surprised to see some of them do so well like the ‘tick people off’ since it’s so simple.
