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)
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.
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.
Just a few off the top of my head…
humor

looking for someone?

bad movie reviews that take you into every scene?

enough for now.
http://www.norcl.homestead.com
That one is a hoot. The crack babe of the week archives are pretty funny.
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.
The two sites (besides the SD) that I visit daily:
I also like:
Damn you kiva, I was going to list cscop. And you made me add 2 more to my bookmarks!
In other words, nice sites!
but I’ll post them again here anyway.
My source for weird URLs.
And a really cool way to learn the Dakota language, using colour charts instead of written phonemes.
sua: Im afraid your comic strip site is just sick, not funny, but thsts just my opinion, I could be wrong.
I have links to all my favorite websites on my homepage:
http://www.geocities.com/edwardina/index.html
I will list some faves here, though, for your edification:
for The Boyfriend of the Week (better than it sounds!)
for the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition
for the Hollywood Stock Exchange
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…
I like the straightdope.com but then none of you mentioned it, tsk.

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 . . .
Also,
