I’ve been watching Desert Bus for Hope for the last day or so. It’s a charity marathon to raise money for Child’s Play, which gives games to children’s hospitals. But the main thing is that it’s run by the great sketch comedians at LoadingReadyRun.com. Basically they’re playing the most boring game in existence – Desert Bus – for as long as the donations keep coming in.

So far they’ve raised over $25000, and they beat what they raised in their first year within 24 hours of starting. Because of the amount they’ve raised so far, they’ll be going for at least 110 hours altogether. You* can prolong their suffering by visiting desertbus.org and donating.

Now I’m going to go and get some sleep before getting up and watching more of their live feeds. Maybe I’ll even get around to finishing some of my coursework before it’s due in on Monday.

* Chances are you don’t exist, as I haven’t really told anyone the address of this blog yet.

Update: They finished after 5 and 2/3 days, and raised over $137,000
