You can go to this website, and I swear I’m not making this up, and move your mouse cursor over a foot that purports to be that of England striker Wayne Rooney, “in a rhythmic fashion to focus your positive healing energies and add to the Healometer grand total.”

See, the more you move your mouse over this thing, the higher the Healometer goes. Their target is 790,056m, and they currently have 137,716m. Unfortunately, there is no option to drive rusty spikes through his heal, but you never know… that could surface today. I contibuted my 2m, even though I suspect that Wayne Rooney’s actual foot is much more unslightly than the one pictured there. Not an attractive man, Wayne Rooney. His own foot is also probably bigger, and carrying some sort of fungus. And perhaps a tattoo.

Creative idea for a website. Gotta hand it to whoever did it. There’s something slightly gratifying about moving your mouse over Wayne’s foot, hearing the little bells, and watching your meter be added to the Healometer total. I think they’ll easily reach the goal of 790,056m… and I still think Wayne will still be sitting out the group stages.

The picture at the top, by the way, is Colleen McLoughlin, girlfriend of Wayne Rooney. I thought that might make this post a little more tolerable for the non-soccer fans.
