Hanttula.com’s Word of the Day: Defenestrate verb. To throw out of a window.
Now, you may wonder how someone could even know that there’s a single word for the act of throwing something out of a window. That’s when you need a Reverse Dictionary. If that one doesn’t work, try this one which also includes a phonetic dictionary!
(Sadly, neither of these actually produced “defenestrate” when “throw out of a window” was entered, but maybe you’ll be able to find that word that’s on the tip of your tongue.)

Kristen, of KristenIsCool fame, wants us all to be rich. So, she insists that you visit Unclaimed.org right now to see if you have a fortune awaiting you. This site let’s you search to see if your state owes you money, which would be kind of a nice surprise now, wouldn’t it?

Like to scare people? Try the Interactive fun over at the Riverton Cemetery, where you can watch as people walk through this North Hollywood haunted house… or even use the controls to scare them with remotely-triggered blasts of air and anamatronic zombies.

Another gem from the old Hanttula site is, of course, Gobler Toys. They’ve got new toys and lots more fun than before!

They even have their own movie on Atom Films, you can view it here.
