What web sites you love? I’m always looking for a good site in this vast sea of E-Crud.

My personal favorites are:  
[http://www.cruel.com/](http://www.cruel.com/)

A new cruel site every weekday! A real treat.  
[http://www.brunching.com/](http://www.brunching.com/)

Brunching Shuttlecocks. Supposedly daily, frequently great!  
[http://www.theonion.com/](http://www.theonion.com/)

I never miss a week. Check out the archive!  
[http://angryflower.com/](http://angryflower.com/)

The Bob the angry flower archive. The best angry anthropomorphic flower comic Canada has to offer.

And I suppose I don’t have to mention The Straight dope.

So whats YOUR favorite?

First off, there are two or three threads on this subject in the MPSIMS forum. One of them was titled “Interesting Websites”, the second _might_ have been titled something about losing bookmarks/favorite places (or that might have been just part of the OP) and if there really was a third, I don’t remember the title. They haven’t been active for a long time, but if you have the time to spare looking for them, there were quite a few interesting sites listed on those threads. Many of them found their way into my bookmark files.

## I’ve not moved a thread in a couple of weeks, but this one is just plain better served in MPSIMS.
