Ever feel like a zombie at work? Well, here's your chance to be really undead without completely ruining your productivity while on the job. Urban Dead  is a browser-based Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) that lets you explore Malton, a city suffering from the outbreak of a virus that has created an army of brain-hungry zombies intent on snacking on the living.

Players take on the role of civilians desperately trying to survive in the quarantined city or soldiers and scientists involved in the evacuation. Alternatively, you can be part of the legions of undead roaming the streets looking for your next meal. The whole thing is beautifully low-tech and free. Part of the appeal is you only get a very limited amount of moves, so you're playing for only about five minutes a day. You just have to make sure you've made it to a barricaded safe house before you logoff for the night -- otherwise when you check in the next day you might find out that the undead have made you their main course and now you're a zombie yourself!

Guardian offers Gervais podcast

For fans of the cult BBC series The Office , there's another way to get your fix of the series co-creator, English comedian Ricky Gervais . The London-based newspaper The Guardian is now offering a weekly Gervais  podcast  -- you know, the growing number of downloadable radio and video shows  that you can put on your shinny Apple iPod? Gervais is joined by his creative cohort Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington, who produced their old XFM radio show. "I suppose we are trying to create an exclusive club," Gervais told the Guardian Unlimited website. "We'd prefer this to be a few people's favorite show than a huge same-y, ineffectual broadcast." In their first podcast effort they fittingly discuss "the pros and cons of technological invention" and then of course there's the "digression into the extra sensory perception of early hominids."

Toys for your average child

Never ones to shy away from overkill here at Spiegel Online International, we thought, given all the attention being given to the clandestine CIA flights in Europe, we might as well share one of the cleverest Bush-critical Web sites out there. Called Baby Bush Toys, the site offers toys for your not-so-intelligent baby.  "At Baby Bush Toys, we offer an exciting range of products for the resoundingly average child," the Web site reads. Like, for example, the Terror Alert Xylophone,  or the all-red Rubik's Cube.
