Time-Waster #1: The Amazing Fact Generator on mentalfloss.com
My Amazing Fact(s) for Today:
• About 5 percent of the entire U.S. potato crop goes to make McDonald’s French fries.
• The S in Harry S. Truman didn’t stand for anything; Truman had a middle initial but no middle name.
Time-Waster #2: Facebook
I've had a Myspace account for a few years but am relatively new to Facebook. This site, in itself, can literally consume hours of my day if I'm not careful. But, I mean, I get to have pieces of flair and I can send my friends treats like jelly beans and cupcakes! Oh, and let us not forget that you can Superpoke people! Does it get any more fun than that ... really? And it's sooo much more "grown-up" than MySpace ... OK, maybe not ;) Be my friend? I'll send you some ice cream!
Time-Waster #3: LOL Cats
I would like to start by saying that I am NOT a cat person, however, icanhascheezburger.com almost makes me pee my pants sometimes. I have to be careful looking at this while I'm in the office for fear of loud "Ha!" outbursts. Oh, and occasionally they throw in a funny non-cat too.
And last, but (certainly) not least ...
Time-Waster #4: Famous People & Cool Gadgets
I'm almost embarrassed to put this out there, but even I occasionally need a good Hollywood Hot Pink Stupid Celebrity Fix, and thesuperficial.com provides just that. But it's better than just your run of the mill celeb stories because the guy who maintains the site (and updates it several times a day mind you) is a smart ass of a superb caliber. I also have to be careful perusing this at the office due to sudden outbursts of laughter.
Also included as part of this time-sucker is a techy/gadget sister (brother?) site — geekologie.com — which has some really cool stuff sometimes (and often really dumb stuff too).
Oh, and apparently blogging can take up a good portion of an afternoon ;)
