It's really slow today at work, most likely because I'm with a law firm, and all government offices are closed.

So help me, please:

What's your favorite or most entertaining or thought-provoking or time-wasting Website? I know you guys are good at this -- let's have it!

Amd, BTW, although it may be true, "MOL is the best" is not an option!

I have noticed that the volume of posts increases on workdays and decreases on weekends and holidays. Which leads me to conclude that, except for retired people like me, most people are posting when they should be working. What kind of work are you supposedly doing? You must be making good money, or you couldn't afford to live in SO-M. Do you feel gulty about posting on work time? Or are you all on your breaks or at lunch? I have worked at jobs where I was using a computer with internet access, and I never had the time to even look at my e-mail. The only time that I was on-line was strictly work-related.
So either I managed my time badly, or a lot of people are cheating their employers.
