Quick! I need time-burning websites

[Binarydrone]

It is the last day before a long holiday weekend, and things are dead, dead, dead!

Yet, I am stuck here all day. I need to be amused.

What are your favorite time wasting websites.

Thanks!

I thought this was the time-burning website!

[Misnomer]

Go to My Boot and read the "She Hates My Futon" story. One of the best, most effective time-wasters ever.

(You, too, can join the ranks of people who are annoyed with the author because he's been promising us another chapter for three freaking years . . . )

Who's got the link to the 20 Questions website? (I've got it bookmarked at home, but not here, amazingly enough...)

Man can you folks ever come through for a guy! Brings tears to the eyes.

[CandidGamera]

I never miss a chance to plug http://www.warehouse23.com/basement/ ...

The concept? Well, the website bleongs to Steve Jackson Games, makes of the GURPS roleplaying game. One of their settings is a conspiracy genre world - and all the things the government doesn't want people to know about are kept in a secret warehouse - Warehouse 23.

So SJ Games used that for their online store. But in the *Basement*, you can search through random boxes and find user-submitted items that fit with the theme.

Think of the big warehouse at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark, where they put the Ark of the Covenant.

This is too late for your boring yesterday, but here's one I discovered a while back that is usable anytime. It details the proper usage and type of every traffic control device (signs, signals, pavement markings) that is allowed to be used on "streets and highways" in the U.S.A., and, in some states, on all private property open to the public. It evan has a message board "Discussion Area" for pertinent (not impertinent) questions. There's even an internal link to the "Standard Highway Signs" manual that provides all dimensions and lettering sizes and styles for every standard U.S. traffic sign. Can be useful in procuring proper signs for your properties or for trying to fight tickets for violating "nonstandard" signs. You need to check on your state's laws on the subject, though, before resorting to that. Have fun.

Fighting ignorance (mine) since 1973:
How do such url links get turned blue and underlined here and does the lack of that affect their use?

You mean this one?

[Qwertyasdfg]

Can't believe no one has mentioned this one yet, the ultimate time-consuming website (other than SDMB): www.ebaumsworld.com Check out the videos, some of them are hysterical (mostly work-safe if you avoide the "Extreme" videos section which is separate from the funny videos section.)

No -- but this is another excellent one.

I popped into this thread to suggest this one. It's hard to stop reading those confessions once you've started.
