A few years ago, when I was sharing office space with physicists (a long and wonderful story), there was a website up on the Internet under something like "www.isitfriday.xxx"*.
When you went on that website, there was either a black window with a red "No" or a black window with a green "Yes" on it. That was it. Nothing more - and still we'd have a lot of fun checking if it was Friday yet.
Then, after a while, the site was no more. But after another while... there is a similar page now again.
Not as black as the first one... but just as delightfully simple, and nonsensical, and nice to look up for that Thank-God-It's-Friday moment. Provided it's Friday, of course.
So... is it Friday yet?
* I don't remember if it was org, or net, or whatever. And since that page is dead and gone, I do not care, and nor should you.

In my last job, as soon as it became available my browser homepage was set to www.hasthelargehadroncolliderdestroyedtheworldyet.com, which operates very similarly but even more simply. But examination of the source code is worthwhile :-)
