Internet wormholes

[ICanRowCanoe?]

Tell us what random links you've wasted far too much time on.

Tonight I'm clicking through a slideshow on child stars who died of overdoses. Next to it, there's a promo for one about child stars who now have regular jobs that I will surely click on next.

These would be a lot more interesting if I'd heard of most of the actors.

Go to wiki and IMDB and look up each one you have not heard of.

Wrestling interviews.

More specifically for me, Pepper Gomez clips.
My great-grandmother loved ol' Pepper, and would scream at the TV whenever she thought he was being mistreated in the ring.

YouTube ... it's the greatest invention since the remote control.

The other side (the “he did it” side) of the Hurricane Carter case.

He did it.

On Wikipedia and TV Tropes, I'll just go down wormholes when it comes to Marvel and other fictional characters. Just so easy to click and click and click.

Crocodile vs. anaconda. Lion vs. water buffalo. And then all the others that pop up.

I was at a wrestling event about 30 years ago in a small armory. Bulldog Bob Brown was the big heel that night and during his match an old spectator ran up to the ring and started beating on him with a straw hat. I grew up in the South.

If you've never wondered around Atlas Obscura, wow, it can be fascinating. I've only done it a couple of times, but it's like taking a vacation to a place and seeing and learning a lot of history, sometimes odd.

I also like satellite imagery.

Wrestling interviews.

Ric Flair promos, old hockey fights and that channel with seemingly hundreds of college football games (which I first heard of here).

What do I waste most of my time on, besides winning arguments on the internet?

Virtual sightseeing with Google Maps.

I can spend hours panning over exotic foreign areas that I will never physically visit. It's fascinating and hugely time-consuming.

Did you see Lion? Spoiler alert:

True story about a kid in India who falls asleep on a train, wakes up 900 miles across the country in a region that speaks a different language. Wound up being adopted by an Australian couple. Twenty-some years later, the guy is on Google Earth and recognizes his hometown. Goes back and is reunited with his mom and siblings.

Ha, yeah, that extended the wormhole quite a bit.

I can't remember the last movie I watched.

I'm a sucker for those galleries of movie roles other stars turned down. Travolta as Forrest Gump? Get out of town!
