Ok, I'm at a loose end. What do you guys get up to, in order to alleviate your boredom when surfing the web? (Besides porn ;))

I think you may have just made the first solid advancement in time travel....if you can record time then you can play it back.

You are a fcuking genius.

Obviously he didn't actually mean to record time. He meant that someone posted a porn/fapping answer very quickly, i.e record time.

Usually I just stumble around the interwebs.

LiveLeak usually has unusual clips, films of actual car crashes, war footage, robberies and general weird stuff that even youtube won't show.

Safe for work rating = a bit dodgier than youtube.

Jack Nickelson
Dennis Hopper
Christopher Walken
Mike Myers
Jim Carrery
Dana Carvey
Andy Kaufman

Thank you, you're far too kind.

Any time.

Suggestions:

Browse somethingawful's Photoshop Phridays archives.

Or their Comedy Goldmine.

Go to YouTube and search for music vids you like.

Make an alt boards.ie account with an unusual but cool name. Then goto conspiracy forum and pretend to work for the government. Just waffle about lizard people, RFID chips and any other random **** they believe.

At the end count how many believe you and how many don't. If you get more then half the posters there to believe you then you win!!

i just discovered:

cracked.com (carries safe for work ratings) has articles along the lines of '6 insane ideas for space travel(that might actually work)' or '7 great historical figures (and why you should hate them)' etc., etc., etc.,

also, if its humour you're after, i may be stating the obvious but its hard to beat satirical newspapers theonion.org, and to a lesser extent dailymash.co.uk
