Hi all. Well, I'm feeling like a total waste of space right now because every day I come to work, surf the Web, play computer solitaire, and generally contribute nothing to mankind while getting paid to do it. So I have decided that I will use this blog as a forum to get the word out about very important web sites that could save the world and probably cure cancer. Here they are:
www.mycathatesyou.com
A must if you enjoy seeing photos of pissed-off cats (and who doesn't?).
www.20q.net
This is an artificial intelligence game - I started playing last year while bored to death at eHelp, and it has gotten so much smarter since then - you have to check it out.
Chatological Humor
This is Gene Weingarten's chat on Washingtonpost.com. It's diverting. A caveat: you must be registered at Washingtonpost.com to view site (it's free).
Tell Me About It
Only read this if you like to read relationship advice columns. See above caveat.
Hello, I Am Fat
Great, very funny (yet touching, but not in a gross way) blog about being overweight/trying to lose said weight. Probably not for you if you are a guy or a skinny woman who's never been overweight. Otherwise, lovely.
www.Powells.com
For obvious reasons. Also, they have author interviews and book reviews on their site.
If you guys have other boredom-sucking websites you'd like to share, please do so, because I'm dying here.

Stephanie,
To get around signing up for a password for free news sites and the such (those companies like to track user behavior, etc.) go to Bug Me Not and enter in the free site you want a password for and usually you will get the keys to the kingdom.
Here are some links for mindless entertainment:
Hollywood Rag: Celebrity gossip, photos, sometimes paparazzi photos, etc. It is like looking at those trashy magazines in the pharmacy. You'll know more than you need to know about Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Alba, Demi & Ashton, Tom & Katie, ...
Etch-A-Sketch: Draw Etch-A-Sketch pictures online using the arrow keys on your computer. Hold down the spacebar and your monitor will shake! This site is good for when you are in a boring computer class.
Post Secret: A guy in Maryland posts anonymous postcards on his blog with secrets people have sent him. Some postcards depressing, others funny. All creative.
WordCount.org: From the site- "Word Count is an interactive presentation
of the 86,800 most frequently used English words." Each word is ranked. Check out the Query Count feature as well, which displays the most frequently searched terms in Word Count. Number one searched for term you ask? A four letter work that begins with F...
TheyRule.net: You can create maps of corporate boards and see how all the execs tie all the companies together. Click on "Load Map" followed by "Popular" to get an idea of how it works.
McDonald's Bathroom Attendant Prank: These guys in New York thought it would be funny to set up a bathroom attendant service in the Times Square McDonald's. It is all documented here. Hilarity ensues.
Enjoy!
So I can't sleep and I come to check out your site...but I find you haven't posted since last THURSDAY?!! Where are you?
I like www.toothpastefordinner.com. Really addictive. Dude's from Columbus, so there are some really great Ohio jokes. Also recommended for people with pirate fetishes. Ahoy!
