RunPee goes mobile with a new iPhone app

RunPee, the website that tells you when it's safe to take a bathroom break during the movie you're watching, was a big hit when Lee wrote about it back in May. If you're a RunPee fan who's been wishing for a better, more practical mobile method of using the site, you might be interesting in the iPhone app. Now you can simply whip out your iPhone before the credits start and see when it's time to go relieve the effects of that large soda.

The best part about the iPhone app is that it will allow you to quickly check RunPee from the bathroom and read the site's quick synopsis of what you missed, so you can jump back into the movie when you return. Don't worry about spoilers, though, they're obscured by default so you won't accidentally read them before it's time. Sure, it's kind of a novelty, and definitely not the most useful thing you're going to have on your phone, but using it even once would be fun.

Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
