I've become a fan of boingboing, and they had some fun links over the weekend that I thought would be cool to share.
1. Something cool
Virtual Reality Mag - 360 photography that makes you feel like you're there. See what it's like to be inside a cola bottle, or standing on Mexican ruins. My favorite is a tour of Chernobyl.

2. Something fun
Simple flash game. Click on the light colored circles to trap the cat from escaping off to the side. Each time you click, the cat gets to move one turn.

3. Something funny
"The Nine Most Badass Bible Verses"
+ Show Spoiler +We've all been there. You're walking along, minding your own business, when a gang of cocky, young bastards start hurling abuse at you. Most of us would just keep walking, or maybe, yell some insults back or flip them the bird. Elisha (commonly regarded as the Luke Skywalker to the Prophet Elijah's Obi-Wan Kenobi), however, decides to take it one step further. Invoking the name of God, he summons motherfucking bears to come and claw the shit out of them.

4. Something interesting
There's a network of underground guerrilla restorers in France that break into broken monuments and restore them.
They recently broke into the Pantheon of Paris and fixed a 150-year old clock that had stopped operating.

Coverage from The Guardian
Report from The Times
5. Something you may not have known.
Origins of 2girl 1cup, thanks to the Smoking Gun (hint: South America) Don't worry, the link is completely clean.

BONUS
For those of you who have a whole day: Classic game walkthroughs
This guy plays old games and puts them online. I'm mostly interested in the NES Megamans, but there's also some other fun stuff. He talks over his play, but he doesn't talk too much (it's not intrusive) and it's usually amusing, so it doesn't get in the way of the nostalgia.

Haha I bet go players are really good at the cat game 
|
Nice links, the Bible verses were great xD
|
Cloud is one of my favorites to listen to and watch on youtube. His walkthroughs are generally entertaining and cover a variety of games.
|
The cat one is pretty easy, especially if you've played Go before. ;D
|
Wow Chernobyl was AMAZING. I never knew the developers of CoD4 designed the Chernobyl mission so realistically.
|
cat is fun but gets boring in less than 10minutes.

It isn't gross.
+ Show Spoiler +The crap really is chocolate (or some other edible food) apparently and they conceal that fact with (I'm assuming) a bunch of weird edits and stuff. The fact that it comes from a studio and isn't a complete amateur recording makes the idea of it being fake a lot more believable.

It just resets when you trap the cat to a single circle.
