"Futility Closet"

Distraction, as everyone knows, is inimical to discipline. But I can't help sharing this "idler's miscellany of compendious amusements". It's a fascinating collection of anecdotes, paradoxes, riddles, oddities, and sundry miscellanea. I've spent several hours browsing it, and I've not yet covered one year's worth of its material (there are five).
