Spell 'n' Speak: Let Them Sing It For You is a Web site that follows exactly what the Internet was conceived for: it does something totally weird and frivolous amazingly well. Type in a sentence or two, and the site will string together clips from pop songs and speak your words in the voices of various bands and singers. Totally surreal, incredibly addictive and perfect for answering machine messages - isn't that right, A-Ha, Lionel Richie and Boys II Men? Get it together at www.sr.se/cgi-bin/p1/src/sing/default.asp.

Little man: From the nuts who brought you Elf Bowling, the game where you brutally mow down rows of cruel, taunting elves with a bowling ball, comes Adventure Elf. In this running-and-jumping platform adventure, you play Oliver the Elf as you navigate Kringleville capturing villainous penguins. The fact that penguins are native to Antarctica and Santa lives at the North Pole? Irrelevant! It's a free Mac and PC download at www.kewlbox.com.
