Ran across this amusing site this morning

See if you can pass or fail the first time; now really how many times did it take you to pass?

took two tries, but only because I wanted to turn my volume up. Thats a nice pic, although i didnt care much for the white spot in the middle.

fyi. i do enjoy the sound so ill let it play for awhile

S&F for you.
I like stuff like this. Makes a change.

I passed -- however I have an unfair advantage: I used to work for a govt. agency, where I got plenty of practice at doing nothing for very extended periods of time.


Regards,

Mike

Yes I passed first time and got the affirmative that I can indeed do nothing for two minutes.

Now I miss my Nana's beach house


Thanks for the memories and star for you.

I passed - but to be honest, I think it may be harder for some to pass if the countdown timer wasn't there. Just the noise and picture I think would make two minutes seem like an eternity to some people. I bet there would be a few more failures if that were the case.

Kinda cool tho. Thanks.

Anybody who has ever done artist modeling can.

Let me tell you, holding a pose for even 5 minutes seems like an eternity though... In an art class or two in high school, we all took turns modeling for drawing figures (no, not THAT kind of modeling, though we pushed for it)...

That was the easiest test I have ever taken...

I clicked on it, went to the restroom... stopped in the kitchen to refill my tea... came back... Viola'! I won!

I know!
I do nothing for 2 minutes all the time! Sometimes I do nothing for 30 minutes!

Well my ex wife told people that I could do absolutely nothing in two minutes or less. Does that count?

Wonder what she meant??

Obama would win it so easily. He has had good practice doing nothing for 2 years now.

As for me, I passed on the first try, too. Nice; fun; and I hope no virus was secretly downloaded in those 2 minutes.

I passed but cheated....

I had a large lunch and was feeling lethargic anyways and just sat there staring at the stupid clock while I digested my food.

Passed first time, but then, I've been doing nothing for two minutes my whole life

I misunderstood the purpose of this post and actually breathed! That's right! By doing nothing means to not exist! I failed many times because I was too BLIND to see the washed out message below the two-minute timer! As a result, I've moved the mouse and touched the keyboard, too! Ooo!

Passed, but it's impossible to do nothing until your dead.

Wether your breathing, looking, feeling, hearing or moving.

Your body is always doing something which makes this pointless excercise moot.

Sorry for being a downer.
