Well now there is a place where you can share your favourite time killers

One of my favourites is Postsecret - you may have heard of it, its a blog where people send in a secret on a postcard and the Blogger posts them, it updates every Sunday and I always check it on a Monday (N.B every now and again there are some that are NSFW & NSFK)

Good for finding out some basic info about Irish History

Some of you may be familiar with Douglas Adams' book The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, well you'll be pleased to know that it is real and has been since 1999 (2 yrs Before Wikipedia)

Divide a minute by 2 then by 10 and then again by 50. that's how long i would. Then if i could, I'd pull out a .50cal and you know the rest...

Re: Post your Best Websites
Don't ask me why but I really like http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/. We were arguing about what music to play in my store when I ran across #116 "black music that black people don't listen to anymore" and (because it cracked me up) I used it as a basis for my argument. We no longer play jazz.

I'm a big Star Wars fan, and i enjoy finding out about the fictional technologies in Star Wars, as well as how the films were made. I spend my time often looking around this site. Enjoy (maybe)

Re: Post your Best Websites
At Kongregate, you should try out Frontline Defense Beta 2- The full game is at Maxgames.com, 20 levels. At Kongregate its 8 levels.
Its a hard game at the start if youre a beginner at it, but fun . (At the first level i recommend to use the Electrical Towers, Machinegun Turrets and Ray Towers)

Re: Post your Best Websites
Came across this site that has old pictures from the early 1900's. The sites in Russian but if you hit ( Смотреть дальше... ) under each picture it will take you to more specific to that picture. Some of the best of these I've ever seen. Makes me really wish Dice would do a remake of BF42 with some of these pictures as map references.
