A wheel of cheddar cheese aging oh-so-slowly over the course of a year. The only thing moving quickly here is the timer, which, in a nice touch of British humor, measures to the millisecond.

It's a whack-a-mole sort of game, except you use the number keypad to the right of your keyboard. Also, the enemies can take different numbers of hits, they do different things, you hit them in certain ways, you can get better hammers, etc.
It's hard to explain, but it's a LOT of fun with a relatively-simple idea.

I just saw that on Mythbusters! It's in a fire station, though I forget the town's name (I think it's in CA).
Yes, it's in the station's garage.
