Online Alternatives to Doing Your Job

It's Wednesday night. You've been working on the school paper all day, and you're tired. Sure, you could buckle down and finish before the end of the night, but don't decide so fast. You do have options!
You could:
Examine every fiber of you psychological being: Start at www.thespark.com. Why develop your own self image when you can have a
computer generate it for you based on your responses to a series of ridiculous questions? They will tell you your gender, your IQ, your personality type, the exact date and time of your death, and your chances of becoming vice president (mine are 64%).
Watch Cartoons: Especially at www.homestarrunner.com, where Strongbad, a short, fat cartoon in a Mexican wrestling mask and boxing gloves does various stuff of an inspecific and unimportant nature, usually culminating in a furious outburst and/or bodily injury to at least one character.
Go to Arby's 30 minutes before they close: This actually won't be terribly entertaining, but a guy's gotta eat. You should be warned however that they are very, very emotional about people walking through a section that they just mopped and closed down.
Like I said, you could. But I didn't. I swear, I was working.
