Perhaps you've stumbled into Off Topic a few times and been scared off, well don't be afraid (ok yes be afraid-but check it out anyway). There are bound to be links to some of the funniest stuff on the internet as well as our own home grown variety like How many five year olds could you take?. Be warned, Off Topic is not for the faint of heart but it is certainly entertaining.
