Complete Waste of Time Hints

What is there to do here?

  • You can watch a little telly.  So kick off your shoes, sit back, relax, get some Whizzo Praline, and turn on the telly.  You can change channels by clicking on the TV button to the right of the television screen.  You will be greeted by David Hamilton.  There will be an announcement that the BBC is going broke.

    There are all sorts of interesting programs on the television such as: The Exploding Blue Danube, Backmail, the game show called "Spot the Brain Cell" where Mrs. Scum wins a blow on the head, an interview with Ken Shabby, a boxing match with Ken Clean Air System vs. Petula Wilcox, The Undertakers, Mt. Everest, the show "Interesting People" where you can see a man give a cat the flu, the Atilla the Hun Show, The All-England Proust Competition, and Tchaikovsky.  Be careful not to get stuck in deja vu on the show "It's the Mind," but if you do, you can either watch it or hit the space bar.

    There is much to do in this room but please do not blow up everything just yet -- if do you will be sorry.  Why don't you click on the penguin, and maybe you will find out why it is on top of the telly?  You may also find out what relevance penguins have to the furtherance of medical science.  Check out the floor -- you may find a hole in it, and if you do you can hear the maze through it.
