This is mainly just a thread to all your interesting links, particularly entertaining.
Intertran is one of my personal favorites, a translation program so dumb it is actually entertaining to see the result. (to any of you that speaks more than one language) It sometimes takes a couple of tries before it proceeds the text, but it´s worth it!

Rotten Tomatoes This is a site that documents what most critics have to say about movies that have come out in the last 5-10 years. Primarily looks at the movies that are currently out or the ones that are coming out on DVD/VHS.
Jayski This is a great site for any NASCAR fan. It talks about ALL the news in NASCAR, covering FAR more than nascar.com. One of my favorite sites for this topic.
NFL Obviously the best NFL site I can find is nfl.com. So here it is. Just to showcase that Im an American football fan I guess....
Robot Combat site Well as some of you know, I am a fan of robotic combat. This site is BY FAR the best site for info on Battlebots. Over 1000 pictures of all the different robots to compete in the 7 competitions of Battlebots along with excellent info and TONS of links aswell.

@Delacroix - great site (but then, I'm a big Pink Floyd fan).
http://dogbert.abebooks.com/abe/BookSearch - this is a handy site if you are looking for a particular book (particularly out-of-print stuff). Lot better than Amazon.

@Delacroix Well Im not a Pink Floyd fan, while I dont mind their music, Im not a fan. But it looks like its a really well built site, and the way the CD names and CD covers appeared when you put the mouse over it was very cool.

To keep up with the daily events in the US, I would recommend this site.

My little brother finally finished his site.
It's about Buffy the Vampireslayer. The forum is done, but he still needs to build his news section.
But to keep his adress, he needs to get a x number of hits per month. And he needs more members. Cause the more members, the easyer other members register.
If you feel like it, perhaps you can make an account. No pressure though.

Perhaps not so entertaining, but these are the only scientific journals for all sciences, and all really groundbreaking scientific findings of major importance are published either in
Nature
or
Science
Since both journals are for all sciences, the level also suits the informed and interested layman, as opposed to the many thousand specialist journals that are very technical and only for other experts.

This explains, I suppose, why one of Nature's "Science Update" features for today, on their main page, is a story called "Lionessess Prefer Brunettes," and begins, "Lionesses like their mates butch, dark and hairy." Now, there's something the informed layman is dying to know.

The Brunching Shuttlecoc!s' Animal X, one of the most delightfully silly and Thurberian pieces up on the entire witty website. Well worth a look.
Then, there's
The Word Detective. Evan Morris has a fine grasp of the intricacies of the English language, and the origins thereof.
One of my personal favorites in oddball humor:
The Canadian World Domination Page. It's not just funny on the surface, so it's certainly that; it's got dozens of pages that follow the same premise.

Yeah, but you're a Canuck and one of the secret conquerors-to-be, so it doesn't count.
