How funny! Meet the “smiley-faced” spider, for real and not photoshopped:
A freak of nature, this amazing spider was found in Hawaii, measures just a few millimetres across and a bizarre marking which looks just look a smiley face.
The spider itself is harmless to humans and scientists believe the pattern serves to confuse predators.
But it’s no laughing matter for the spider which is under-threat from extinction from its home in the rainforests of the Hawaiian island chain in the Pacific ocean.
Lets hope this little guy can spread some cheer and lives a long, happy spider life.

Amazon has certainly established itself as a reputable online merchant. Over the years, the company added various product lines and expanded immensely.
According to the DailyMail, Amazon is set to launch a new online grocery service.
Industry experts predict this to be a major threat to Tesco, Asda and the likes.
Amazon already has a huger customer base, selling predominantly DVDs, books and electrical products. Within the coming months, the online retailer will take on 45.000 food, drink and household items.
Amazon is already selling food in the US and it seems to have won over the average American shopper. Buying items in bulk plus free delivery doesn’t sound too bad.
How well this will go down with the British public remains to be soon. Amazon has a fabulous reputation for reliability and is the UK’s biggest online retailer.

One of the best ways to pass the time is to play games on the Internet. The web provides countless of websites packed with fun and entertaining games.
A particular good one kids will love is MegaBrands.com. The MEGA Brands Kids Zone offers a big variety of entertaining and fun games aimed at the youngsters. One of the cool games that’s featured on their site is the Pirates of the Caribbean At World’s End along with another Pirate themed game I couldn’t resist but play.
The goal was to collect as many Pyrate merits as possible. The more the betterr as there is a prize to win. The game itself loads pretty fast and once you’re registered, you’re good to go. In order to find these merits you’ll be asked to pick and complete an activity, such as the treasure hunt. Once you have accumulated enough merits you’ll be able to switch to naval combat or special attack.
But that’s just a couple of examples. There’s plenty of other fun games and interactive features to enjoy. Lots of clickables and information and if you’re getting really good, you could even win prizes!
Overall I think this is a very entertaining site for kids and adults and some of the games on there are incredibly addictive.
If you’re feeling bored or need some distraction, check it out! There’s something for everyone.
