    Exhausted the Internet?

    Lo all,

    In my mind I think it's impossible, but I was sitting here, on lunch at work thinking, I've got no websites to browse...

    I've exhausted the internet??

    I've been on all the websites I usually visit e.g. Hexus, OcUK, BBC News, CelebDaq and checked my personal email.

    Is it possible? Ever done it before? Have you ever been bored of the internet??

    I always go and have a laugh at some funny videos (www.big-boys.com) or find a knowledge base and try to learn something!

    Just a suggestion, but maybe you should develope a few new interests. How can you list 5 sites then say that you have exhausted the internet, jesus, porn alone has millions of sites. If you want to be entertained for hours start looking at some conspiracy theory sites or anything unexplained. Google your heart out

    Yes it happens to me sometimes, the internet is a big big big place, tons of things to do, but even with great thing's such as Google and other search engines, we still can't find anything to do

    I'm at work, on my lunch. Therefore very limited to what I can do. I have a lot of interests outside of work.

    I don't think cracking one off next to my colleague will go down too well.

    B3ta
    OcUK
    PitPass F1
    The Register

    Please note, some of these links contain swearings. No nudity (that I know of anyway)

    Hey, you could always look at top comedy site www.teamfishcake.co.uk :-)

    Other websites I nosey at are:

    www.b3ta.com - especially the messageboard. The structure of it is a bit weird, but you get people posting various photoshopped thingies which are quite amusing, and the Questions of the week are funny too. Quite cliquey in parts, but worth a read!

    http://www.socialscrutiny.org/ - satirical government docs. funny :-) (clean)

    http://www.angelfire.com/musicals/midget0/ - daft cartoons

    www.fat-pie.com - "salad fingers" is uber creepy and "burnt face man" is stupidly hilarious.

    www.orisinal.com - the most original flash games ever, beautifully designed, excellently programmed and fantastically oriGinal. (clean)
