I'm running out of reasons not to use my time for studying, and as a student I find that unacceptable. So, I figured I'd ask you guys to post your favorite internet sites. What I'd really like to see is some cool sites where I could actually learn something new (again, to minimize reasons for studying), but I'll also settle for plain awesomeness and fun stuff. To get the ball rolling, here are some of my recent top findings.
http://www.ted.com/
"Riveting talks by remarkable people, free to the world". TED stands for technology, entertainment and design and the basic idea of the site is that it has video speeches by leading folks in these fields. Most talks are about 18 minutes long and all get straight to the point. You'll find leading politicians, artist, scientist and comedians here, so lots of inspiring stuff.
http://www.cfr.org/
Council on foreign relations, this is the website of an american think-tank for international relations. The same people publish the awesome Foreign Affairs magazine. You'll find plenty of in-depth explanations and background information about most of the tough issues in today's international politics. The stuff on this site is pretty neutral and rarely biased in any way. As a student of international relations I just love this site.

The Big Lebowski turned into a Shakespeare-style play. Hilariuous!

Just in case there are still people who haven't encountered the best webcomic ever. The adventures of a doctor who is also a ninja.
