Have yourselves a random links dump.

Mets by the Numbers has finally returned to its old domain name, mbtn.net. I actually hate the new layout, but it's got much more interesting articles now. Big negative: no player bios! Boo!
beingfive.blogspot.com A humorous little strip about the fictional five-year-old Georgie being, well, five. Updated once or twice a week.
http://www.mentalfloss.com/ Like Mensa, only not boring, the mental_floss magazine entertains smartly, and its website is even more superlative, with tons upon tons of articles and lists added daily, with something for everyone. You also order one of their thought- and laugh-provoking shirts, as well as other products.
www.arcamax.com/zits The homepage of my favorite currently published comic strip, Zits joins as the fifth strip I read daily over the Internet.
www.chucknorrisfacts.com/ Facts about uberman Chuck Norris have become a staple Internet meme, and when reading through this site it's easy to see why. Norris gets the credit (and blame) for every act of manliness conceivable, and some that are also inconceivable. Follow my example and lose yourself in hours of fun, giggling like a maniac at gems like "Chuck Norris destroyed the periodic table, because he only recognizes the element of Surprise."
http://www.icanhascheezburger.com/ I Can Has Cheezburger? replaces lolcats.com in the Links list due to it being of similar content, only better. And funnier. And bigger. And more variegated. If you want you can check out its sister websites too. Loads of fun.
http://www.the-iss.com/ A humor website that updates a couple of times a week with fresh articles; the gimmick is that the site and its contents are patterned after comic-book supervillainy, down to the contributors' pen names (my personal favorite is Doktor Maxwell von Puppykicker the Third).
