Most of the pages I find entertaining, informative, and interesting have come from links from the SDMB. For example, I have found sites such as [http://www.google.com](http://www.google.com) , [http://www.howstuffworks.com](http://www.howstuffworks.com) , [http://www.productopia.com](http://www.productopia.com) , the house of con games: [http://www.geocities.com/king\_grifter/](http://www.geocities.com/king_grifter/) , [http://www.mapquest.com](http://www.mapquest.com) , song lyrics search: [http://www.songmeanings.net/search.php?type=advanced](http://www.songmeanings.net/search.php?type=advanced) , [http://www.switchboard.com](http://www.switchboard.com) , [http://www.snopes.com](http://www.snopes.com) , [http://www.worstcasescenaries.com](http://www.worstcasescenaries.com) , phrase origions: [http://members.aol.com/MorelandC/HaveOrigins.htm](http://members.aol.com/MorelandC/HaveOrigins.htm) , The Simpsons Archive: [http://www.snpp.com/](http://www.snpp.com/) , and many more sites just from reading the boards. So, I am sure that there are many fascinating sites that I have yet to come across. So, what are your favorite web sites? Thanks.

Funny, it looked alright in preview.
Why did it add all the stuff before the www part? I didn’t put it there, honest!

Of course, I _am_ biased. 😃
Other than that, the boards and the Straight Dope, of course. 🙂

The Onion has reeked of crappiness as of late.

Not including the Straight Dope, of course (that’s obvious) –

I agree that mapquest is an awesome site. I use it religiously.
However, entertainment-wise I used to peruse through [StileProject](http://www.stileproject.com) quite a bit, though must admit that I haven’t been there for well over four months. I think he needs to read a basic book on the way of the Tao, though, because for someone who doesn’t want to represent anything he sure found a bad way to do it.
Otherwise, I religiously check up on [TheSpark](http://www.thespark.com) which has a wit to it I have never found elsewhere. But, its also right up the street from me and I met one of its main contributors in an airport, so I think I’ve grown biased on that point. For the record, he was a cool guy (Christian Rudder) and though I made the somewhat disingenious remark “You’re, like, almost famous to me!” I think he knew what I meant.
