Five Favorite links

The links are not in any real order, I like them all but in different ways.

http://www.thisisnotporn.net/
   Don't judge the link by its name. This Is Not Porn is a site that finds photos of famous actors, musicians, and other famous people that are just them doing things you would expect to find in your own family album. Most of the photos are silly, but some are really beautiful. This is a site that I go onto when I am bored and it makes me feel happier. I like the idea of celebrities being what they are, people, not unreachable idols.

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/
   I love films and everything to do with films. This is a trait me and my oldest sister share. When I get stumped by a question about a movie or actor I go to this site to find it out. I used to go to rottentomatoes just to look up who was in what, but then I started to pay attention to the rating system they have. good movies are fresh and bad movies are rotten and I got hooked on seeing which movies are considered good or bad by critics and movie fans alike. I started looking up different actors to see what movies they were in that were rotten and which ones were fresh and I have yet to find one actor that has not been in at least one rotten movie. Sometimes I do not agree with the site about movies it deemed rotten but I do find it one of the best sites to go to when I want to find a fresh movie to watch


http://www.cracked.com/
   One of the things I love most in this world are really strange facts and stories, but it is always hard to find out if they are true or not, and that is where my love for cracked.com came from. Cracked is a site filled with hundreds of articles about unusual facts in science, history, media, and literature. All of the articles have a link to where the information came from and it is almost always from a trustworthy site. But unlike most weird fact sites, cracked has a staff of fantastic writers. Most of the articles are written with a dry humor which I find witty and hilarious.


http://betterbooktitles.com/
   I don't go on this site often but when I do I always laugh. This is a site that re-names famous books with titles that are more fitting to the content in them. For a lot of the "better" titles you would have had to read the book to understand it, so some of the jokes I do not get, but the ones that I do I find clever or just funny.

http://xkcd.com/
   Their are many comics on the internet, but xkcd is one of my favorites. The comics are very simple stick figures, but the dialogue is fantastic. Unlike most comics which stay focused on one subject and mainly tell a different variation of the same joke, xkcd makes comics about a variety of things, and jokes that are well thought out and witty.
