Things To Occupy You Over Break #5: Miscellaneous

bash.org
A community controlled site full of funny things said in IRC chat. Will leave you wishing some people were your new best friend and others would never go near the internet again. Contains racism, profanity, and other not-nice things.

The most ridiculous, bizarre, clueless, or hilarious things posted to craigslist. The game is trying to figure out whether some of them are serious (for your sanity, you will inevitably end up convincing yourself that they are not.)

Some of these make me laugh out loud. What happens when the blind, underpaid and overworked attempt to use photoshop.

Photoessays and photo projects. Under "books" you can learn about a locked mental ward for women in the 1970s, a school for special-needs kids in Iceland, and Indian prostitutes. 

Hell is other people, and our generation's Book of Revelation is this collection of angry, aggressive, passive, or obnoxious notes.

I'm not into fashion, but the things Bai Ling wears just make me happy. Other people, with more money than you or me, go out in public like this. And we care. Oh, humanity.

People keep journals (personal, traveling, or community) and then post them on the site. They're fascinating.

Graphs about things we're all aware of. Half are song lyrics or other pop culture references. Similar to indexed, which I've already linked here, but more juvenile.

Mainstream newspaper comics kind of suck. This blog making fun of them is written by that guy who was the kid in your class making snide comments about the lame videos you always had to watch. It's like MST3K for comics.
