I am appealing to the dopers, you royalty of time wasters, to assist me in a project for an old friend.
He was injured in an accident and is facing a lengthy rehab. He can surf however, and i would love to send him a nice long list of funny, interesting and amusing sites to pass some time.
Can you copy a couple of your fave links for me? Its much appreciated if you can. Thanks in advance, Kelli
