Best Web Sites

[Monster104]

What are your favorite websites (aside from the SD, of course!)? I don't do much surfing of my own, so I don't have any particular favorites...although http://www.theonion.com is hilarious as hell (But that's already been featured in Weird Earl's)

[Gr8Kat]

I've had a lot of fun playing with http://www.sonicnet.com lately. It's neat making your own "radio station" that plays only your favorite bands.

[Smeghead]

www.brunching.com is always good for a daily laugh.
http://www.rinkworks.com and http://www.timmybighands.com, ditto, when they're updated.
http://www.theforce.net if you're in a Star Wars-geeky type of mood.

That's it for now.

Reference Desk (http://www.refdesk.com/) is an amazing site that has useful links to just about anything you need.

I depend on PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/) to search the medical literature.

I'm sure everyone here already knows about the Internet Movie Date Base (http://us.imdb.com/search.html), but if by some chance you don't, check it out.

[Asmodeus]

That one is a hoot. The crack babe of the week archives are pretty funny.

[Danielinthewolvesden]

I'm terrible at linking, but Opalcat's web sites are well done.*



* and I say this despite the fact she does not like me very much. Oh, well. :D

[Kiva]

The two sites (besides the SD) that I visit daily:

http://www.brunching.com

http://www.lileks.com

I also like:

http://www.csicop.org

http://www.skepdic.com

http://www.quackwatch.com

[Danielinthewolvesden]

Damn you kiva, I was going to list cscop. And you made me add 2 more to my bookmarks! :D

In other words, nice sites! :cool:

[Suo Na]

but I'll post them again here anyway.

The Scariest Cartoon on Earth (http://www.plif.com)

My source (http://www.memepool.com) for weird URLs.

And a really cool way to learn the Dakota language (http://www.alliance2k.org/daklang1/daklang1.html), using colour charts instead of written phonemes.

[Danielinthewolvesden]

sua: Im afraid your comic strip site is just sick, not funny, but thsts just my opinion, I could be wrong.

[Edwardina]

I have links to all my favorite websites on my homepage:

http://www.geocities.com/edwardina/index.html

http://www.megwood.com

for The Boyfriend of the Week (better than it sounds!)

http://www.h2g2.com

for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

http://www.hsx.com

for the Hollywood Stock Exchange

[SPOOFE]

The best website on the planet... http://jmspoofe.tripod.com

Shameless plug, I know, but I'm proud of my site.

One of the greatest ameteur art sites on the web: http://www.elfwood.com

Go visit... it's AMAZING, the talent out there going to waste...

[handy]

I like the straightdope.com but then none of you mentioned it, tsk.

Ha! I did SO. Albeit in acronym form.

That is a very good site. Of course, any site with such a strong pro-Mariner bias is great with me.

This is some funny shit!

OMIGOD! I can't believe I forgot Elfwood. I should be flogged. Oh well, I do have a link to it on my site, not that anyone's actually going to go there . . .
