In a blink: Celebrities with their eyes closed - it could very well be a weird sexual fetish known only to a select few, but Blink O Rama compiles video captures of celebrities blinking. There's Dr. Ruth, Robin Williams, Emeril, Ahnold, Snoop, Joan Rivers and either a pirate-y Bob Dylan or a hideously prematurely-aged Johnny Depp. And dig it, you can see them, but they can't see you at http://blinkorama.blogspot.com.

Popularity contest: Want to be a cool dude (or dudette) and use only the most popular words? Wordcount lets you do just that - it's a Web site that indexes 86,800 English words based on popularity. The basis for the ranking is a 100-million-word collection of contemporary texts. Sent in by Networthy operative Andreas, you'll learn that at 12,424, Rap is far less popular than rock at 1,511, but techno is all the way at 22,882.
