Remember those Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing games from childhood? I haven't thought about them in ages but after a quick search, I realized that there are new versions available. Keep those prized pennies in your pockets, folks, because we've found something way more fun. Instead, rev your search engines for the free, addictive online typing speed game, TypeRacer.

With comic stoplights and status trackers reminiscent of an amusement park game, TypeRacer makes typing fun again. And nary a '...quick brown fox...' to be found as I've been excitingly typing U2 lyrics, lines from Pulp Fiction, and quotes from classic literature in my initial test drive of the site.

This game is a perfect time-waster for you office monkeys, as cube neighbors will totally think you're typing up that TPS report. Let's race!

(Please note that in the photo above, I was sooo in 1st place until I had to pause to take the screen shot, thankyouverymuch.)
