Okay, I'll go over some search engines first.

http://www.411seek.com/

http://www.4anything.com/    parent site for other searches and directories... somewhat limited, but small is good in some cases because it has an assortment of unusual sites that may get left out of the web if no one linked to them.

I prefer AllTheWeb as it is fast and effective for most searches.

http://www.alltheweb.com   check out my comments:  Thegreatnerd's website spotlight and check it out below!

http://www.ask.com/index.asp

http://www.azoos.com/

http://www.search-engine-index.co.uk/

http://www.search.com/ ... Cnet... pretty good for the obvious paid and official sites.

http://www.datelinetv.com/

The next four search engines are meta searches.. they search several sites for ya so you don't have to. For those who haven't been to Openhere for awhile, they've added about five search engines to the site, making it a gooooood meta search.

http://www.dogpile.com/    http://37.com/    http://www.megago.com/   

http://www.openhere.com/

Many of you already know Google. It is quickly becoming a very useful search engine.

http://www.google.com check it out below as well!

Scirus is a SCIENCE SPECIFIC search. Have a biology, chemistry, physics term paper due and need some sources... go here!

Search Engine Watch is a great site for both the beginner and the advanced searcher. It provides information on how and where to search. It rates search engines and provides a good review of the major ones.

Here's a phone book online too.    http://www.namesandnumbers.com/

Here's About.com... if you want to know something ABOUT almost any topic (hence the name) go here. By almost I mean, I haven't seen an expert on tapioka yet.

http://www.about.com/   (Just watch out though, you know those About:Blank pop-ups.. they have a ton obviously)

If you love the paranormal, come here.      http://www.ufoseek.com/ 

This is another site that contains many, many useful sites.. I use it all the time as well. My inspiration actually for this site.

http://www.waynegreen.com/ This guy has done it all (so he says) and has some interesting ideas on the world. The website could use some changes (more than just a few pages for all he has to say for example), but otherwise it's interesting.

http://www.mediabay.com/ Nice layout, but bulky ads can be slow. Great old time radio though!!

Free the hampsters... they need air.

http://www.hamsterliberationfront.com/

Read a good book from the following sites.

http://www.amazon.com Who hasn't heard of this site in cyberspace. Target, Borders, Toys R Us, and numorous other "real world" stores have begun to set up under this site as well. The layout is very user friendly, but like AOL, it can get slow with too many users. The "recently viewed items" box is very cool and keeps you from losing track of what you're doing.

http://www.booksamillion.com Great setup!!

http://www.bn.com/ Cheap and like you're viewing a real bookstore online!

http://www.bartleby.com/

http://www.bibliofind.com/

http://www.crbbooks.com//  government coverups, Tesla, etc...

http://www.gohastings.com Has pretty much everything you'd think of getting at Hastings!

http://www.completeidiotsguides.com/

Want to buy gifts, toys, sadness prevention, etc.

http://www.johnsonsmith.com/

http://www.buyersindex.com/   Really good directory of catalogs, websites, and mail order businesses. Be careful that you are looking for a paper catalog, you can sift through the tons of web-only sites.

http://www.hobbylobby.com/

http://www.homedepot.com

http://www.sciplus.com/   Science and surplus "Sciplus." They have a good selection.

http://www.radioshack.com/

http://www.walmart.com/ For everything you want frankly.

http://www.kbtoys.com/

FREE!!!

http://www.acefreestuff.com/

http://www.catalogsfroma-z.com/    Nice little directory of catalogs. Professionally set up and easy to use.

http://www.informational.com/free.htm

http://www.freewell.com/freereports/index.html Tons of free "anything," just be careful about the, uh, not-so-free stuff and the things that could be considered junk mail.

http://www.free-stuff-samples.com/

http://www.totallyfreestuff.com/    Pretty good.

Here are some sites I just didn't know where exactly to put them. I'll call them something eventually.

http://www.he-man.org/ for anyone who has watched the original series, the new one is just as great. Consider it a great site.

http://www.ninjaturtles.com/ the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Site! Not much other than just show synopsis and pictures, but nice layout.

http://www.nerfonline.com/ it's the official Nerf Gun website.

http://www.stoplittering.com/ well, like the URL says, STOP LITTERING. Buy a T-Shirt.

http://www.nintendo.com/ This site is for everything Nintendo. I like it because it is very informative, but I'll admit it is cluttered sometimes.

http://www.weirdal.com/ This is the official Weird Al site!! How much more groovy can you get?

http://www.mortwalker.com/ The official Mort Walker website. (THE Beatle Bailey guy. Plus other comics that you may not have heard of... just check it out and see.)
