Computer-Based Time-Wasting Stuff

More ways I have been wasting time:

1. The Omnificent English Dictionary In Limerick Form.

One fine example:

In the Great War, the British-led nations
Looked poorly on Deutsch appellations,
Renaming their pets
With staunch epithets:
German Shepherds turned into Alsatians.

Umm...here's an actual more-informative link on Alsations from Wikipedia.

2. Uncyclopedia is awesome fun, too. Like the wonderful article on Anonymous.

3. The Ultimate War Simulation

This thing does have an agenda, which becomes quite apparent in 17 -19 when it gets very specific and stops razzing even slightly bipartisanly. And some bad language. But I found it quite humorous (excepting 18 and 19) as a depiction of the general mess that war is. And of the unrealism of computer ‘war’ simulations.

4. Webcomics!

Some rather famous ones:

• Sluggy Freelance -- read this -- all 7 years -- if nothing else. Time travel, vampires, laser guns, demons, murderously-inclined rabbits, evil conspiracies, and much, much more.
  
• 9th Elsewhere -- psychology, muses, cute flying hippos, and overall a suspenseful-but-warm-hearted story
  
• Order of the Stick -- D&D parody that’s highly humorous even if you don’t have a clue about the game
  
• Safe Havens -- ok, so it’s not an official webcomic…but who’s counting? Mermaids, high school, genetic experiments, computers, politics, dyslexia, ghosts, and siblings. Regretably no archives.

And some not-so-famous ones that probably no one in their right minds should like:

• Thistle Salad -- highly incomprehensible, but also highly addictive. Unique design.
  
• Wish3 -- well-scripted story about a generational curse
  
• Bulletproof -- "angsty 21st century mercenaries fight for their lives" -- not a bad description, actually...
  
• Netherworld -- rather confusing at first, but this thing has grown on me. Lots of theology and who-knows-what-else.
