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 )

What does that involve?

Holding a microphone up to a clock?

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.

LiveLeak video clips

Either my two primary hunting grounds forum sites or just look up things on wikipedia.

For instance, the last couple of days I've looked up the bios of
Jack Nickelson
Dennis Hopper
Christopher Walken
Mike Myers
Jim Carrery
Dana Carvey
Andy Kaufman
Adam Sandler
Will Smith
Tom Cruise
Seth Rogan

Thank you, you're far too kind.

I did fuck a genius once alright. Well, I fucked him over anyway.

Any time.

Suggestions:

Browse somethingawful's Photoshop Phridays archives.

Or their Comedy Goldmine.

Go to YouTube and search for music vids you like.

Yeah, I have, and some stuff has been taken down but a lot is still up. Relax.

Try dailymotion.com if you can't find it on YouTube.

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!!
