Websites that don't damage your IQ

[miak757]

I don't think sites where you can play NES really fit the criteria, but cool links!

Eh, consider it filler then.

You went to Afghanistan? Which part? And for a holiday?

Holiday? Yeah, sure, lol. I deployed to helmand province for 10 months with the Marines to fight the war.

Which war? The war on terror??????????//

Yeah.

So just to make sure, it wasn't a vacation, right?

Planning a trip? Check out http://wikitravel.org/en/Main_Page (On Afghanistan: Traveling in Afghanistan is extremely dangerous. Large parts of the country...are effectively a war zone. Threats are unpredictable and the situation can change very quickly.)

If you like science, technology, and nerd culture, Wired magazine has some excellent blogs at http://www.wired.com/blogs/

Hell, just read a bunch of xkcd comics. Those are usually pretty smart. http://xkcd.com/ The random button is your friend.

So they have a Wiki page for everything under the sun .. except for WMDs? Seems fishy ..

I like to read http://abovetopsecret.com Most of the topics can do really bad for your IQ, but there's a lot of interesting stuff to read and some subjects might even make you think a little. That's a good thing...

..right?

Put your tinfoil hats on before entering.

Anyway, since I started playing WoW again, most of my online activity has been limited to the WoW forums. Those forums drop your IQ, but like a train wreck I just can't look away.

I wish dresden codak updated his comics more than once per quarter. It especially sucks when he doesn't update for months and the puts out a comic that makes you think "It seriously took you months to make that? Riiight." Then the author makes up some injury or illness, like how he was helping an elderly lady cross the street and then got ran over by a bus, landing on a needle that contained SARS. In case you are wondering I am talking about this one. Just reread it and all my rage came back.

Another site I occasonally visit is engadget. I never actually visit the site directly, but I did set up a RSS feed on my desktop that reminds me of their latest articles. Same goes for CNN, but I click on those links far less.

Started this topic because I am tired of getting on the internet and constantly looking at stupid stuff that does nothing but drop my IQ level.
So what are some websites that you guys visit on a regular that are a bit above the rest on the intellectual level?

Wow forums.
