There are a lot of really fun websites. Let us know how you cure boredom by telling us what websites you visit to have fun.

Tweetaboogle - Social Search Redefined

http://www.tweetaboogle.com/ A mashup site that lets you tweet as you search. Displays relevant tweets around search results creating a rich "social search" experience in a facebook feed like interface.

Seriously bad Google translations.

Just wanted to pass along http://www.funnytranslator.com It uses Google to translate any phrase from English to 56 other languages and back again, with often funny, usually bizarre, sometimes even insightful/ironic results. My favorite example so far is actually someone complaining about the site: "Ok, I'm sorry to be the curmudgeon but I get the translator part, I'm just not seeing the funny part." ...56 translations later we get: "Oh, Sorry, I know, I think it sounds great."

Mysteryseeker

my favourite would have to be mysteryseeker coz, well, it's full of mystery. You get what the person before you searched for, and because it's not overly used, you can even converse with people sometimes
