Interesting sites to fight boredom

[Jay1980]

I did a search for a thread like this and didn't find anything,so...

What non-porn sites do you go to when you're really bored and have nothing to do? I think anybody and everybody who has been bored and simultaneously been on the internet has found www.bored.com. What other ones does everybody have? Here are some of my favorites (In no particular order):
1. www.imdb.comThe Internet Movie Database- Fun website for looking up all the movie info you need.

2www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia- The Internet Encyclopedia. Fun for looking up info on just about any subject

3http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Unusual_articles Here's a cool page of Wikipedia that has links to unusual and interesting entries.

Those are the only ones I can think of at the moment. Anybody else have any?I'm really bored.

http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
- Unencyclopedia. A parody site of Wikipedia. Seriously, type in any random word in the search box, sit back, and enjoy the ride.

Sometimes I seriously want to believe this stuff more than the wikipedia articles.

Agreed... Wikipedia, IMDB, and snopes are great. I'm on Wiki and IMDb every day at least a few times to look up one thing or another.
How Stuff Works is another good one.
Then there's always the Shockwave site for all kinds of flash games.
Urban Dictionary is another good one.

I like to read online comics, plus im a bit of a geek, so i can kill time by going to www.dieselsweeties.com

 

[ilovetheasians]

These are online comics, but are funny as hell:

www.penny-arcade.com
www.vgcats.com

www.ebaumsworld.com is a pretty good boredom killer site as well

If you use firefox, download stumbleupon from www.stumbleupon.com. One click of the mouse button delivers a random (or categorized) interesting website. It's very very useful when bored.

do you know any sites like that but with no other live players?

Um, dunno. You can play the computer too in there if thats what you mean. I don't know of any other sites on that level, except for msn games, but that kinda sucks compared to pogo.
