I’m in an effort to expand my Favourites folder, and need your help. What websites are good for general amusement? I’ll get the ball rolling with a few of my favs (and to give a genral idea of what I’m looking for):
[http://www.straightdope.com](http://www.straightdope.com) (duh!)
[http://www.fark.com](http://www.fark.com) - Dumb news, witty forums and Photoshop contests
[http://www.ilovebacon.com](http://www.ilovebacon.com) - Funny signs with often unintended double meanings.
[http://www.engrish.com](http://www.engrish.com) - The Japanese butcher our language!
[http://www.dumbwarnings.com](http://www.dumbwarnings.com) - Just found this gem today…URL is self-explanatory.
What are you guys and gals looking at regularily?

Well, I just clicked on the ilovebacon one and got a “You have attempted to access a site containing profanity, nudity… blah blah” :eek: …which kind of put me off clicking the other ones, lest I get myself fired!

I was going to mention Fark, but you’ve already found it. The others that have been listed are good, especially Customers Suck, if you’ve ever worked retail. Here’s my favourite that hasn’t been mentioned yet.
