things to look up on the net when you are bored

[high_way]

ok im not sure if this should go in tilted knowledge or not, but because it would be more of a discussion (in my opinion anyway) i decided to put it here. also, i have done a search on this topic but i didnt come up with anything, if it has already been done, sorry.

anyway here it is

things to look up on the net when you are bored.

ok well i keep notes on pieces of paper about different subjects that i would like to find out more about, and i found all my pieces of paper today and thought that i would share some of what i like to research and see if other people can give me some good topics to research.

some of the better ones are:
- pagan
- early 1900s authors eg edgar allen poe, bram stroker and many of the other great writers (still looking, after watching LXG i went and researched each of the individual characters and their origional books)
- the vatican city
- stone henge
- china - ying/yang and cultural colours
- the grim reaper
- significan historical figures (cant remember exact names but yeah)
- celtic cultures
- ancient roman, greek, mytholigical cultures


ok this is just some. what do you guys look up when you are bored on the net?

[hu-man]

Porn.

[Nisses]

naked girls?

nah, I've been looking through pages about Nibiru, the so-called 10th planet of the solar system. And I learned people are nuts

also, tutorials for photoshop used to be high on my list

or weird news in all forms

or celtic cultures (odd I'd do that too )

or info about a Rurouni Kenshin (an anime series I loved to watch)

or the Game of Thrones setting by George Martin is also a favourite

[Phaenx]

Game of thrones! WooOOOOOooo!!!!!!!!!

I look at his site all the time. A feast for crows is almost done.

[Crack]

New Orleans places to visit, hauntings, cool hotels in the area, ect...

[Nisses]

hehehe, Phaenx, I'm awaiting that one anxiously as well

too bad so far I have all the books in dutch, and there's no way I'm waiting till they translate it completely, so after 4 dutch versions, a feast for crows is gonna be in english, I'm sure

and that series is just too good, it's one of the few books that ever had me put down the book, and go "this did not just happen, I must have misread. No way the author would dare do that"

Anybody know if the roleplaying version of that setting is available anywhere? I can place orders, but they never seem to arrive...

[legolas]

I would go with what hu-man said, or a site like liquidgeneration.com

[jwoody]

And I thought I was the only person who did this.

Here's some of my recent topics:

Engineering Marvels.
LOTRROTK.
Da dun da dun, Christmas songs.
Doomsday Book.
Ted Striker.
Asha Bhosle.
Tokyo Broadcasting Systems.


Go on, ask me anything about any of the subjects above...

[absorbentishe]

I look for free stuff, and receipes. Some days I'll just type in stupid phrases or words into google just to see what it comes up with.

But at home, I look for porn.

[nukeu666]

i enjoy researching new topics that interest me. even though i am not at school, i still enjoy learning and furthering my knowledge basis.


in regards to porn, i get enough of that at work. that way i dont have to put up with all the spamming shit that you get when you are looking for it... and videos are better anyway.

[onodrim]

Ebay is my new web addidiction. Seriously, it can be a lot of fun to go in there and just look up all kinds of crazy stuff, pretty much everything is for sale on ebay somewhere.

[amonkie]

Ebay when I have a money cushion to splurge on the urges, otherwise info on the "pet of the moment" ie right now, a debate between a goffin and a bare eyed cockatoo for my new house.
