Okay so as I said in my last post I reorganised my favourites list on the computer and apart from finding a shit load of fics, also found a shitload of funny, amusing links and stuff. So why not share them around...

I do not guarantee the validity of any of the below websites and will not be held to blame for any time wastage they cause. That is all.

For when you are bored and avoiding homework:
Euphemisms for death - Speaks for itself.
Despair Inc. - Have a look on the left under 'Individual Designs'. They are hilarious.
If I were an evil overlord - A funny list of things characters in James Bond type movies should do differently. Great advice for any evil genius, hero, sidekick, henchman, true love, evil empress, innocent bystander, trusted lieutenant, wicked but beautiful daughter, alien, or legion of doom trooper.
Job Predictor - Under my real name I should be a Paleantologist but under my screen name my ideal job is a Pirate!
World History according to student Bloopers - This is brilliant and it's even better if you've done History yourself.
A report by a guy who attempted to actually cast the spells from Harry Potter and a Dungeons and Dragons Players Handbook - Also funny, go read it.
Ctrl-Alt-Del - Daily cartoon that's funny as hell. Gaming centred but still funny.
Church Sign Generator - You may go to Hell because of this but you'll be laughing on the way.

Because Fandom is strong in this day and age, HP links:

A newbie's guide to HP fandom - Contains links to just about every HP community on Live Journal and is constantly updated. Very useful.
Return to Innocence - A fan vid site of LOTR, HP and crossover vids. Has some very good vids up there so everyone should go check it out (okay, so this has turned into a pimp post as well, shut up).
The OC name list - a list by wilarinwrites of all the names that fit into the HPverse for OC characters.
Alivan's, Makers of fine wands - Oh my god, I want one! And they have other cool stuff like the Marauder's map! Found this through wolfhearted I believe.
A history of fanfiction - While not HP, it's interesting all the same.

The Pen is mightier than the Sword:

Great books online - Useful. Very useful actually.
Pen and Sword - Inspiration and advice for fantasy writers.
Rhymezone - Again useful with more than just a rhyming generator.
Seventh Sanctum - The page of generators.

And that's all that I can really be bothered typing up. Thanks for your time. I'm off to see Star Wars again tonight. May the force be with you.

I was thinking before as I am apt to do and for some reason I focused on the theory of extraterrestrial life.

Are we really alone in the universe? Out of the billions upon billions of stars out there is not one that is capable of supporting life? Seems pretty horrible if you think about it. So much empty space with only one tiny speck of life. Might explain why some people seem to think they deserve everything.

On the other hand, maybe there is life out there and the simple reason we haven't made contact is that they saw us and steered clear. Can't really blame them actually.

So those are the two extremes. There is life or there isn't. Each seeming too tremendous to comprehend. That leaves one option somewhere in the middle. Something that exists but is not alive.

OH MY GOD, THE UNIVERSE IS POPULATED BY THE UNDEAD.

Well now we're screwed.
