You could've been doing much worse in your time of boredom! You totally could have gone here or here (some of the last site is NWA so consider yourself warned).

The NASA images are amazing and I really like how they include an explanation from an astronomer. Thanks for sharing the fruits of your labor.

despite the composition and quality of peopleofwalmart.com, the site cant be beat for pure hilarity. Ive submitted a few POWM shots myself, and let me tell you, getting that picture of the 450 pound redneck with the belt buckle the WWE would be proud of, the wife beater shirt, and the cowboy hat with the FEATHER sticking out of it is hard enough, without worrying about him beating you to death with that turkey leg.

My favourites are the first and the second, I wish to see and capture those kind of scene but maybe it's almost impossible here. The sky is always grey here, no stars at night because it rains. Yes, it does every day, every night, the whole year. Especially these days during the rainy season, the rain gets even more intense. It can rain from night until morning and it can still be grey in the morning. We usually have sunshines in the morning, and rain in the midday, afternoon, and evening

Oh no, I would never disparage the site that has given me and friends many a laugh! It's completely hilarious. The fact that you've submitted a few POWM shots will most likely make you kind of a folk hero at my office. I just meant that for battling boredom, DravensHalo definitely went with a site that has a bit more intellectual heft.
