The Silly SuperPoke Pets Review

UPDATE April 23, 2009:  After getting an inappropriate comment on this article
from Slide

this morning, my wife and I have decided to no longer play that game.  We’re over them.  Any links to our SuperPoke Pets sites are no longer active

“Imagine if two completely separate things — your bank statements and
your calendar — spoke the same language and could share information
with one another. You could drag one on top of the other and a whole
bunch of dots would appear showing you when you spent your money.

“If you still weren’t sure of where you
were when you made a particular transaction, you could then drag your
photo album on top of the calendar, and be reminded that you used your
