Bored? Look no further than these useless websites that will keep you entertained for hours.
NDAB Creativity / Shutterstock Sometimes there aren't enough hours in the day to get the things done you actually need to get done, yet we all have found ourselves with a little time to kill.
When we're really bored and especially lazy, we turn to the Internet for useless websites to distract our thoughts during our idle moments.
