Care to share some of your favorites? I’m always looking for something to hold my attention.

Some of mine:

[ul]
http://www.google.com : For all your search engine needs

http://www.internetmoviedatabase.com : Movies and stuff

http://www.straightdope.com : Self explanatory, I think. :slight_smile:

I used to have so many more but I’ve lost them. :frowning: Help me find more sites to pass the time with!

Here you go:

http://www.govspot.com/

http://www.badastronomy.com : All around astronomy site with a focus on debunking bogus astronomy that wound its way into pop culture. Great read.

http://www.theonion.com : It’s the news, but not really.

http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html : Astronomy Picture of the Day. Enough said.

http://www.scotese.com/earth.htm : Models of the Earth in past time periods and projections of future continent positions. Very interesting.

Just keep poking that bunny, see what happens.

Aside from numerous lyrics sites, band sites, and threads from various message boards, here are some of the more interesting sites. I almost never visit any of these sites, but if I deleted them, I would probably then want to visit them.
Industrious Clock Someone linked that here a while ago.

Fun With Words I don’t know why this is in my favorites.

An American’s Guide to Canada Again, someone linked that here before.

Sexy Tree Yet another SDMB Link

Panty Quilt A friend of the Zappa family wanted to make a quilt out of unwashed female underwear, so she had Frank Zappa collect them at concerts.

Traffic Cone Liberation Society

Traffic Cone Preservation Society

Forgotten Ohio This is the only interesting site I’ve bookmarked that I visit regularly. It’s about haunted and abandoned places in Ohio.

The Traffic Cone Liberation Society link will not work. I think the site is no longer there.
