This week's unclaimed domain:

WaterBoreding.com

.

You're watching Fox News (just pretend). It's five pundits rehashing old debates about rendition and Karl Rove. It's boring. It's really boring. You are being "water boreded."

That clever little witticism in dot com form is still up for grabs. We're just as surprised as you are.

Here are some potential uses for waterboreding.com:

• A blog about ways to distract yourself whilst engaging in the most monotonous and inhumane sport on the planet, swimming.
• A database of MP3s to pass the time while torturing someone 266 times.
• A review site about the world?s most interesting beverages.
• A Java game with no way of winning, where you just watch someone wakeboarding from the back of a boat.
• Or, just buy it and forward it to the Tosh.0 Blog!

This weekend, Sarah Palin announced her resignation from her position as Governor of Alaska. The media wasn't distracted by the loud fireworks and drunk people — the news spread wildly. Palin felt slighted by some of the blogosphere's speculations about her motivations and she tweeted about some of her plans to fire back in court.

The Wonkette wrote a huge blog post on Sarah Palin's 'net-threat tweet, but here are the relevant few:

Honestly, this is what Sarah Palin twatted on Saturday Night, July 4th, Independence Day, in America.

Her link goes to (of course) Scientologist nut and sub-literate weirdo Greta Van Susteren?s blog on FoxNews.com, where Greta has helpfully (?) posted seven pages of legal threats from Palin?s lawyers, although you can?t actually read beyond the first vague page of whining bullshit, because Greta/Fox can?t figure out how to operate the Internet.

But, from other websites, we gather Palin?s lawyers plan lawsuits against MSNBC, the New York Times, the Huffington Post, the Washington Post, individual bloggers in Alaska, and other such anti-Palin forces such as ?rain on your wedding day? and static cling.

If the Wonkette is seeming particularly snarky here, you're correct. They're bitter about not being invited to the lawsuit.

Recommending links to funny pics is one of the staples of the Reddit community.

If users find something particularly exciting, commenters occasionally try to one up each other with their additional witticisms.

So when the above screen grab from a FOX Business report with a chyron reading "Firefox: Most popular search engine after Microsoft and Apple" hit the site, net nerds were sent into a tizzy publishing over 500 comments as of this post.  One user called a FOX News mistake involving computer lingo the "Reddit perfect storm."

Some of the comments are actually quite funny.  It's Friday, let's have them do all the work.  Here are our top 5:

1. Fox News: Most popular news channel after TV and Blu-Ray.
2. Computers: Most useful program after IBM and Dell.
3. Homosexuality: Most popular form of terrorism after Islam and Judaism.
4. Firefox: Most purple time-machine after rygar and shoelaces.
5. Bottle: Most popular ketchup after tomato & hamburger

Ah, inane comments.  [via Reddit]
