I get lost in there for <em>hours</em>. You can also try link sharing sites such as Delicious or Digg, or DiggDot (which takes care of several). Links to news and tech stuff. Check out Slashdot, too. Surf eBay? Go to Project Gutenberg and read "old" stories. Get lost in government archives or Archive.org. Take a whole bunch of quizzes to find out who the real you is be is. Whatever. Go "monitor shopping" and increase your Amazon wishlist to 40 pages. Check out all the NASA images and blow your mind. Get <strong>totally</strong> lost at <a href="http://www.theyrule.net/" rel="nofollow">TheyRule.net</a> (need Flash, though). All else fails, there's always MSN or Yahoo! Games, and online Sudoku.
