Flickr Redux
This one is going to be a little different:
Although I’ve linked to flickr 166 times in the past, I never really dug into this site until recently. With an inventory of over 100 million photos you will never discover everything in it anyway. So here are just a few sets from this Treasure's Trove. Please feel free to add your favorite flickr moments in the comments below.
There are thousands of interesting sets and tags you can explore. A random few: (On all sets you may move the speed dial on top to one or two seconds, if you want to browse quicker through the slide shows):

I have absolutly no idea how I am going to tell my parents... it's bad enough I can't get out of Algrebra 1... Gah...”
