Hi everyone. I'm looking to expand my daily web surfing circuit and I was wondering if anyone could suggest some new sites that are consistent with my taste (or lack thereof I'm sure some are thinking). So I currently check the following sites daily/weekly:

-cbc
-imdb
-wikipedia
-physics forums (obviously)
-xkcd
-sporcle
-cosmic variance
-ask a ninja
-zero punctuation
-PHD comics
-slashdot
-penny arcade
-gamespot
-rotten tomatoes
-icanhascheezeburgerz
-fail blog
-physics world
-scientific american

Can anyone suggest any other sides that would seem consistent with my interests?

How is it you have so much time to spend surfing around on the internet all day? Maybe that time could be better spent doing something more constructive.
 
explosm.net

Cyanide & Happiness webcomic.
 
uncyclopedia.org
 
I no longer check them on any regular basis, but How Stuff Works and Gizmag are always worth a browse. Daily, I go first to the AARP site to do the crossword and word roundup puzzles. After my other browsing (such as here), I go back and do the jigsaw. In fact, I'm going to do that right now.

If you have an interest in astrophotography, some of the most beautiful images around are published on this forum. It's always worth a look.

Says the guy on the internet forum. Besides what justification do you have to say surfing the web is unconstructive? And you must be one busy person indeed if you can't spare 30 minutes a day.

Yahoo Answers can be fun for a couple seconds.
Physorg is my main science news site.
I also like checking out random philosophy forums.
Youtube has a few interesting videos from time to time but they are hard to find.
Wikipedia for random words can be worth it.

Every time I think I've had the epiphany of the millenia, I find they've been talking about it at http://www.halfbakery.com/" for at least a week.

I hate those kids.

OK... based on your [strike]interest in astronomy[/strike] selection of "cosmic variance", I recommend "universe today" and "bad astronomy". Both are seriously good fun IMHO, and both go beyond astronomy only. Bad astronomy especially goes into all kinds of stuff. The author is successor to James Randi as president of the "James Randi Educational Foundation"; and also famous for his sense of humour. Has a best selling book called "Death from the Skies", which introduces you to the wonders of space science by looking at the ways the universe can kill you; and also has something of an obsession with pareidolia.
