It's a good when you have slow day at work.  since it's in a browser you can just close the window if your boss walks by your desk.

Well I'm surprised no one has mentioned one of my favorites, Metafilter.com

Then there is http://www.fatwallet.com/c/22/ which is a forum for daily freebies, but the FatWallet.com website also has good deals on computer supplies.  Its basically a forum where people post coupon/promo codes, and good deals in general.

oh yeah....if you browse at work like I do then you MUST get Ghostzilla.  It's the coolest thing ever...comes in handy if you don't want to get caught looking at porn by your fiance.


do it.

www.dumblaws.com

Edit: I just had to include my favorite example from that site.  This is apparently a law in effect in West Virginia.

"It is legal for a male to have sex with an animal as long as it does not exceed 40 lbs."
