Other favorite web humor links:
1) The Art of Art Frahm: Ladies, don't you just hate it when you're innocently going about your everyday duties and your underwear falls down? What? This doesn't happen to you? Well, don't tell Art Frahm; you'd break his heart.
2)Weight Watchers Recipe Cards, circa 1974: the first time I saw these, I laughed so hard I cried. Yes, the genre has already been pretty well plumbed by James Lileks, but these recipes deserve their own treatment, too.
3) Leeroy Jenkins Warcraft Soundboard and the actual video: This one requires a certain geek quotient, but for those who qualify, this site provides an essential link to one of the seminal events of MMORPG history.
4) Red vs. Blue (Episode 1 here): Since I've already revealed my gaming geek side, I'll add a link to the ongoing series concerning life for the hapless foot soldiers stuck in Halo PvP.
I thought I had others, but they have been lost in the mists of time.

The End of the Bronze Age by Robert Drews.
The Iliad.
You might well be interest in the far ranging ongoing discussion over at GNXP triggered by short posts about the currently in theaters movie “300”. Which is about the clash of Greek and Persian civilizations as 300 Spartans held off the invaders at that pass, allowing time for the rest of Greece to rally and unite.
It’s an extremely intelligent site with (even) lots of intelligent commenters.
I have no reason so far to believe that you’d be much interested in the main focus of the site, which is on breaking news in genetics and biology and sometimes the social implications. But a secondary focus particular by one of the sites two principal original founders and continuing frequent (and probably truly genius) poster Razib is Eurasian history, particular ancient to early modern Eurasian history. Forget dynasties and political intrigues. The clash of civilizations and peoples and movements of peoples, cultures and genes, and their cross influences. That sort of thing. Often REALLY good.
Just google gnxp and scroll down for the two "300" titled posts and esp. the back and forth of the comments.
(Michael Blowhard fairly frequently links to GNXP, and contributes to some of the historically and culturally oriented discusssions, including these.)
oops. Misplaced comment. Belongs in the comments to the post immediately above.
Thanks for the GXNP link. It is an interesting site, and probably one I would not have navigated to on my own.
