Coincidentally(?), XKCD just did one about the addictiveness of Cracked (and TV Tropes).

TVTropes is AWFUL about this. Cracked, not so much since usually you end up reading every "related article" and end up back where you started without any new ones to (easily) get to.

You aren't doing it right, you're supposed to also click on the "top 5" sidebar articles as well.

No link left unclicked: it may not make our children smarter, but it will turn them into masters of trivia.

TV Tropes, on too many occasions I'd wake up get on it for whatever reason, and next thing I know the sun's long gone and I'm dozing off, then when I go to close my browser, Firefox politely informs me that I have over 100 tabs open. .__.

Yeah, I love Cracked.

Sometimes they're a little too "Bro"-ish, but in general they're great.

I seem to be immune to TVTropes' effect, because I TRIED to get into it as the guy from xkcd showed but I just couldn't. I was just like "Um, okay. Sure. Whatever."

Cracked, however, has me constantly hungry for some odd trivia(l) facts and humor.

I found the site by accident a few weeks back. Glad to see I'm not the only one who fell under it's spell. After finishing an article, you'd stumble upon another 5 points of interest just as you're about to click the close tab button.

No other site besides the nekid kind has had that affect on me in a long time.

They'll be ready for when 1v100 comes out of beta then.
