What are those sites which are good for a bit of time-wasting, whether at work or waiting for something to download at home? Leaving aside the joys of the Virtual Bubblewrap, what sites are floating your boat?
A shout-out to
www.five.org.ukThe most bizarre conspiracy website ever made, by a country mile. Check it out, and post your favourites here too.
I bet that site is run by some knucklehead that used to spam usenet into oblivion. He would post tens of dozens of messages a day in hundreds of groups at a time, all about how the MI5 was after him. Just stupid crap like "someone bumped into me while walking down the street, people do that all the time, and it mist be the MI5 trying to get me used to it so they can some day steal my wallet" or "the weatherlady last night right before the commercial said 'back at 11:20', which proves they are watching me because three weeks ago I went out for a late dinner and got back at 11:20: 'BACK AT 11:20'". This nutjob thought the MI5 was harassing him BECAUSE HE WAS ON MEDS FOR SOME MENTAL ILLNESS, never the idea that maybe his dosage needed to be upped.
This guy single handedly pretty much killed many newsgroups, because he changed names and titles to avoid filters. I bet his neighbors like the fact that he spends so much time writing up all this crap, keeps him out of their yard.
