Internet wormholes

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.

 

Wrestling interviews.

 

sportsjournalists.com

 

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

 

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.

 

Following email scandals...

 

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.
