It isn't just for point-and-clicking

That's right, you're computer pointer can be fun! So many sites out there offer cursor-based fun. You never have to be bored at work again.

First, we have the Vector Park site where an on-screen dog follows a spider, controlled by you and your cursor, around the page endlessly. The dog is kind of cute. He never catches the spider, but even though you know he won't, you find yourself rooting for him.























When you're done there, try this. This fun time is brought to you by Crossover, a website featuring "web content." Here some "O's" swarm all around your cursor, wherever it goes, leaving behind little trails.













It's like your on acid.













Well, I actually was at the time. Anyway, next we have the site that, while undergoing maintenance, put this clever little device up. If you're stupid enough to go and try to "push" the button, like I am, then you'll find that your cursor repels it and you can never catch it. At this point, unlike that dog after a spider, you realize it won't happen and give up. Next.

















Ah yes, this site offers a chance to have your cursor become a dollar sign to be followed around on the screen by George Bush, or for your cursor to be Bush with Tony Blaire following it around.



















Either way, in the process the movement around distorts their faces and is pretty funny.



















If you ever tire of that, then head on over to this site and have a rabbit chase and leap after your cursor which, to it, appears as a carrot--yeah, okay, i guess I can see how one could make that mistake.























Anyway, the fun part about this one is that the Rabbit is, in fact, able to catch it and once it does it holds on tight and DOES NOT let go.You literally do have to pry it from his cold dead hands.

















You won't want to miss out on the fun happening on this Japanese website, where you can find a young anime girl who will follow your cursor around the page with her eyes. It's actually a little creepy for me, as it reminds me of a painting in the living room of my grand parents' home that always seemed to be watching us.





















Avoider is another fun "game" on the One More Level game site where you try to escape the little screen character, but pretty much can't. When he catches your pointer, which he does every time and within seconds, he eats it. Actually, that isn't very much fun at all.

































Well, no, you definitely can't. He gets away.

Finally, and this is by no means an exhaustive list of such fun online activities as these, there's a site where you can put flies on the screen by clicking on it, which then draws a spider to where ever you did that.













Because he's going to eat those flies, even though they are not trapped in his web, but lying about on a large map of the world, as insects will often do.
