How times have changed
This isn't your ordinary college class, but it's something that's definitely catching on ...
Purdue University has added Twitter and Facebook to class participation. This feature is titled "Hotseat" and its used to allow students to comment on the class as it proceeds, with everyone in the class -- including the professor -- able to see the messaging as it happens.

Need your help
Can you help? I'd like to see more funny captions from you. We've got a tough picture to come up with something creative, but I know you can do this: Go to www.crescent-news.com/news/simple_article/4701314 and view the picture. Below the photo in the "Comments" box, you can write some sort of creative caption to this.

Crazy coffins
People are buried in some unusual caskets. One website shows some of these in what is titled: "Crazy coffins people are actually buried in."

Statue of Liberty
How well do you know your facts about the Statue of Liberty. HowStuffWorks.com posts a history lesson (which, by the way, would be great for the classroom) in the site titled "20 Facts About the Statue of Liberty."

Online ESPN games
I didn't know ESPN had a host of arcade style games online. There are a variety of games available like air hockey, pool, mini hoops, field goal kicking and more.

Cornhole
I struggled to find a good Cornhole game online. Probably the best is from AddictingGames.com and that was still a little tough. However, once you get the hang of the online game, it's fun.
When you set up this game for yourself, be sure to use the three-click method, which I thought was the easier way to toss the bag.
