don't ask me how i know

You probably already know this, but if you eat two butterfinger candy bars in quick succession, you won't feel especially good for the rest of the afternoon.

However you probably don't know this. If you have very young children or if you don't require too much in the way of entertainment, you can play moderately amusing games at this Danish-language site. Although what text there is is in Danish, the site is directed at a pre-literate audience, so no reading is necessary.

Just click on the bug-eyed (is that redundant?) bee. You'll be transported far, far away to a magical island of creepy-looking flora and fauna. Go to the bottom of the screen and click on the blue bird that looks vaguely like a penguin. You'll see three creatures on a bridge. Click on the monkey and let the games begin.

You can create and print out never-before-seen animals like the gofantstruds, with the head of a gorilla, the body of an elephant and the legs of an ostrich. You can try to feed snacks to animated animals, who'll noisily spit them out if they don't like them. Or you can help the Nikolaj, the little penguin who lives in the jungle, leap from log to log across the great grey-green, greasy Limpopo River, all set about with fever-trees.* If Nikolaj makes it to the other side, he'll be rewarded with a heaping stack of jam-topped pancakes. Which probably would look quite tasty to someone who hadn't just snarfed down two butterfinger candy bars.



*Fever trees, despite their name, don't actually cause or cure fever. They just happen to flourish in the same swamps that breed the mosquitos that carry malaria.
