In you’re trying to find the best deal on airfare, it helps to know how much one airline will nickel and dime you over another. For those of us who can’t keep all the fees straight, this handy airline fee chart can help.

Say hello to SpongeBob’s latest weapon in his ongoing mission to turn America’s youth gay: the SpongeBob Squarepants singing thermometer. Studies indicate that rectal use of this thermometer creates a Pavlovian response, causing kids to forever associate the SpongeBob theme song with stimulation of nature’s most delicate flower. I really hope this concept is expanded to other products. I’m sure there’s a huge market for Hannah Montana glycerin suppositories—the only suppositories that play Hannah’s biggest hits while providing gentle and effective constipation relief.

I’m always on the hunt for the perfect haircut, but it’s tough to decide if you can’t see a potential cut from multiple angles. (It’s also tough for your stylist to recreate it.) That’s why I love this Matrix hairstyle finder. You can view all the style from several angles and there’s a fairly diverse selection of both men’s and women’s cuts.

I just discovered this Presidential Campaign Game that lets you face off against another 2008 presidential hopeful in a fundraising fight to the death.

It’s a bit like Risk meets chess on a much smaller scale. The instructions that are built into the game are a bit long and overwhelming, so let me give you the abridged version:

1. Begin by picking a candidate. This candidate is sort of like your king in chess. If he or she is killed, you lose.
2. Next, pick three political strategists to help your candidate take over territory and attack your opponent. These strategists are like your rooks, knights, and bishops in chess. Each one has unique strengths and weaknesses. (Just pick three different ones the first time you play to learn what they can do.)
3. When you move your people around, they’ll convert a few of the squares near the square they end each turn on.
4. When you convert all the squares in a territory, it becomes yours. The enemy can’t enter it and you receive money as long as you still control it by the start of your next turn.
5. Each of your people can attack your opponent’s people (which will eventually eliminate them) or they can attack a territory controlled by your opponent.
6. After a few attacks from the enemy, a territory will become neutral again and is up for grabs. Making a territory neutral takes anywhere from one to five hits depending on the type of attack and how long a player has controlled the territory.
7. When an entire territory supports you, it gives you money before the start of your turn.
8. Money lets you perform stronger attacks, convert territory more quickly with special rallies, and buy more strategists.

That about sums it up. Even if you don’t like strategy games, this one is simple and amusing enough to merit at least a few rounds of play.

If you’re interested in a getting a rough estimate of what your home (or a home you’d like to buy) is worth, you might want to check out NexTag’s real estate value estimation tool. Ever since property values began falling in my neighborhood, I’ve been looking for a tool like this to help me determine if I should snap up a fixer-upper from some desperate sellers down the block. Initially, I thought about using Zillow.com, but Zillow requires registration. I’m not sure why, but lately I get worn out just thinking about completing any type of registration form and/or some sort of email confirmation process. So, the NexTag tool gets my vote for now.

My friends over at design boner recently turned me on to walkscore.com, a site that gives a “walk-ability score” to any address based on what’s nearby. It’s a great tool if you share my passion for car-free living and want to evaluate your current place or a prospective pad. It can also be an interesting way to discover businesses in your area that you didn’t know existed.
