Suggest cool websites that are safe for work

You know how people always say "I think I've reached the end of the Internet"? Well, I don't think it's possible. Suggest some cool online time wasters!

I love reading these blogs right before lunch:

TasteSpotting

Appetite for China | an appetite for china

.

Sites that're safe for work that I frequent. hmmm

Welcome to WorstPreviews™ should be not bad. I go there every couple days to check out movie news.

Maybe the people I know are just stoopid.

I just found a site that I think's pretty cool, and work safe.

Walk Score - Helping homebuyers, renters, and real estate agents find houses and apartments in great neighborhoods. --- Type in your home address, and it tells you how 'walkable' your location is. for stuff like Libraries, pharmacy's, grocery stores, cafes, restaurants, gyms, etc.

It isn't 100 percent accurate (some places not listed, some places that're listed are no longer there.)

I scored 48 out of 100. Which is a little lower than I thought it'd be, but I am really happy with the area. Only thing missing, that would be really awesome, is a major grocery store <1.5 km away.

The last place I lived at, scored 7 out of 100... So yeah I love the new place hehe.

I just gave freerice.com a try. Man this site's cool! I've got the vocab level up to 34 so far, but am going to stop for now since the words are getting tough, and I must go.

Can't wait to play with the other sites later hehe.

LOL freerice is crazy addictive.

I like
Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news. for entertainment news.
Cute Overload!

for cute animal pictures (I know, it sounds cheesy, but they're so cute)
Lifehacker, tips and downloads for getting things done, which is similiar to Wisebread but has more productivity and tech stuff.
xkcd - A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language - By Randall Munroe, index and Crimson Dark for web comics. Although the latter is only updating weekly currently.

Orisinal is a great place to waste time on cute games... and I am not using "cute" lightly. This is like the Puppy Bowl of Flash games.

And The Obscure Store is a blog that collects weird news. There are no pictures, so it's safe for work in that sense, but some of the discussion is... not so much. Hilarious read, though.
