A fun little thing I found.

Here is a list of the top sites on the net:

Before clicking, try and guess #1.

I think you'll find a few surprises here. ;)

I knew google would be up there.  Didn't expect yahoo to be number one.

I had guessed Wikipedia to have made it under the top 10 but not under the top 5. Good enough a guess ;)
No let's get back to work to get the GOF on place 1 :lol

I think it's just sick how you see porn sites making the top 100 :x
I've kinda heard of like 50% of the sites on that page, maybe 70% if you're not including the chinese ones :p

I think it's too bad google is in there like 10 times.

I'm surprised they did not weed out the porn sites. Google and Wikipedia I'm not surprised at since they both seem to be very popular sites.

At least they're brutally honest that there's dirty people out there.

Very true.  I've not thought of that point.

It wouldn't really be "Top 100" if they started filtering sites due to their content, would it?

It's very sad indeed. You would think human kind became more advanced and mature as time went on...yet these sites and those weridos are around...

That's true, but I think it's still sick that so many people visit those kinds of sites :p

It seems many humans are the same as they were a thousand years ago, and even farther in the past.
