I am working 7:00 - 18:00 today and I am bored to death. I need links to some fun/entertaining/humorous/cool websites to help kill the time. I have already been through all of my normal links (The Onion, Something Awful, SDMB) and am all out of good sites to surf until I can finally go home.
Please post links to some of your favorite web sites.
TIA.

[Acts Of Gord](http://www.actsofgord.com/) and [Brunching Shuttlecocks](http://www.brunching.com/archive.html) are both dead, but what remains will easily keep you entertained for your long workday.

Thanks for the submissions.
I forgot to add (but hopefully didn’t really need to) to please be sure the links are work safe (picture wise). I’ll be looking through your link now. Thanks again.

From the guy who brought you Brunching Shuttlecocks, comes [Little Fluffy Industries](http://www.littlefluffy.com) , a collection of free online games from around the web.

On really, really dull days where I know I’m not going to get interrupted, I usually hit Project Gutenberg. No pictures at all. I usually hit the Jules Verne or Edgar Rice Burroughs.

Welcome to my hell… [addicting games](http://addictinggames.com) !
Wasn’t sure if you wanted game sites, but there you go anyway.

Excuse me, **«Ðëëp¤F®ïêd»™** , but my wife would like to have a word with you. Something about me not getting a damn thing done today that I promised I would.

If I am really bored and have nothing else to occupy my time, I go to [http://www.wikipedia.org](http://www.wikipedia.org) and just browse through it aimlessly for an hour or two but I realize not everyone likes reading encyclopedias for fun so your mileage may vary. 🙂

Ignore the crappy newer interface and head over to [AllMusic.com](http://www.allmusic.com). It’s got an amazing amount of reviews and information about all kinds of music.

[Worth1000](http://worth1000.com), a photoshopping site. If a gallery has not-safe-for-work pictures, it’ll warn you first.
[Internet Book List](http://iblist.com), a budding literature site.
[Albino Blacksheep](http://albinoblacksheep.com), a Flash site; as far as I know, it’s pretty much safe for work. Check out “Mario Twins.” (Has sound, obviously.)
[DeviantArt](http://deviantart.com) has some not safe for work pictures, but they’re easily avoided as long as you stick to the safe-sounding galleries (the Nature Photography gallery has some terrific images).
[RetroCRUSH](http://retrocrush.com) and [X-Entertainment](http://x-entertainment.com) have some great stuff, but I’m sure there’s some inappropriate content mixed in (but no, the “X” doesn’t mean X-rated) and some pages have sound.
If all else fails, check out the Weird Earl’s archive.
