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

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

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...

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.
