Here are 3 sites to distract you from whatever you are doing...warning: do not open these links unless you want to be completely absorbed. You're welcome.
1. Our Dumb World
This conglomeration of "mind-expanding factoids about the lesser, conquerable nations of the Earth" comes from theonion.com.
2. Academic Earth
As described by a Slate.com article, "A few months ago, Academic Earth, a startup founded by a young Yale graduate named Richard Ludlow, began collecting these videos and packaging them into full-length courses. The result is a geeky procrastinator's dream...It's like Hulu for nerds."
3. Newseum's Front Page Map
Props to Anna for finding this one - it's a worldwide interactive map of snapshots from daily newspapers' front pages.
