10 Sites That May Turn You Into an Internet Zombie

I have scoured the interwebs and my bookmarks and collected a list of ten websites that could very well have the potential to turn people into internet zombies. They are about as addicting as brains. The challenge, however, was to find sites outside of social networking and shopping, because everyone's aware of how much a virus Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc. are. So here are my top ten sites, presented in no particular priority.
